The Films of 2009 UPDATED 12.15.09
This shouldn’t shock anyone, but I keep a list of all the films I see each year and then my friends and I nerdily make Top Ten lists when all is said and done. I like to keep my ratings system simple:
1 Star – Hated It
2 Stars – Don’t Rush Out to See It
3 Stars – It was Okay
4 Stars – I Really Dug This
5 Stars – Incredible Movie & Automatic Top Ten Contender
