Favorite Movie of 2009 & Favorite Movie of All Time

 Inglourious Basterds- My favorite movie of 2009 was "Inglourious Basterds", written and directed by Quentin Tarantino one of my favorite film makers (mine and every other male older than 14). The films lead role Lt. Aldo Raine is played by Brad Pitt, I know hes not much to look at but he is great in this role. "Inglourious Basterds" is an action/drama/thriller/comedy about WWII that is primarily set in Nazi occupied France. It is the first movie to give a much needed twist and alternate ending to WWII. I watched this movie in the theater the week it came out, and once more a week later. Like most of Tarantino's movies you appreciate and savor it more the second time around. Tarantino did a fantastic job with the films story and cinematography, and the acting was spot on as well. I recommend watching it if you haven't seen it, or if you've only seen it once. Below is the official trailer for "Inglourious Basterds".

I do not have a favorite movie of all time so instead I have decided to elaborate the first movie I had ever seen in a theater and its sequel. They were my favorite movies as a kid and had characters that I was obsessed with for much of my childhood. 

 TMNT: The Movie
              &
TMNT 2:The Secret Of The OOZE- As strange as it may sound these two movies are very important to me. A great deal of  my earliest memories revolved around The Ninja Turtles (particularly Michael-Angelo). One of those memories was watching the first live action TMNT movie on vhs with my sisters and being awestruck. Another is possibly my favorite movie memory and the first time I went to the movie theaters. Because of my obsession with TMNT and with the first movie my Mother took me to see the sequel on the opening weekend. I think it was the humor of the movie and the Kung-Fu aspect that really got me hooked when I was young but its hard to say. But hey, what little boy wouldn't enjoy four turtle heroes that walk up right, know Kung-Fu, and just happen to be hilarious?
