Film Faves 2009-2011

I just realised that I haven't posted an update to my "Film Faves" list since 2008. I guess that I talk about movies so much in my artcast that I haven't given any thought to blogging on the subject.

Here are my five favorite films from 2009 . . .

Here are my five favorite films from 2010 . . .

And here are my five favorite films from2011 . . .

I don't have time to add any comments to these lists (too busy working on a bazillion projects at once), but if you'd like to talk movies, join me on my Otis Frampton LIVE artcast sometime and we'll chat!

Movie Review: "Up"

Its wonderful from beginning to end.

I wish I had more to say, but when a movie this good comes along there's really not much more to add.  Pixar is on a roll now with two home runs in a row after WALL-E, with Cars being a definite bump in the road and Ratatouille being a good but not great palate cleanser (IMHO, of course).  Hopefully Toy Story 3 will continue the company's winning streak.

Speaking of Pixar, here's how I'd rank their films from best to worst:  WALL-E, The Incredibles, Up, Toy Story 2, Monster's Inc, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, A Bug's Life, and finally . . . Cars.

Anyway, go see Up.  It's one of Pixar's best yet, which is saying a lot.
