Bottom 3 movies of the year
Horrible Mention
Get Smart. 
Being a kid in the 80's and watching this on Nick at Nite and then watching the attempt of Steve Carrell to mirror Don Adams was a farce.  There was maybe one line that was fairly simmilar to the television classic but this one didn't do anything for me.
3. Prom Night. 
Come on now could we get any blood at all in this film?  No I guess not just acting along the lines of the Disney Channel.
2. One Missed Call.
 Can you believe there is a sequel on In Demand right now?!  I guess me having a cruel hatred for Cell Phones didn't help this one either to getting out of the gutter.  At least it had Leland Palmer.
1. Babylon AD. 
HORRIBLE.  Not along the lines of Bug or Freedomland, but still Vin Diesel spells JOBBER in this one big time.  Futuristic Action Film that fell flat on it's face.
Top 3 Movies of the year
Honorable Mention-
Midnight Meat Train. 
Unfortunatley was unable to screen this one in theatres and had to wait for it on Comcast In Demand but just too awesome to not review.  The virtual decapitation blew me away.
3. Eagle Eye. 
Really good Speilberg movie and non-stop action, I cannot believe it wasn't a summer release.
2. The Bank Job.
 I'm not a big fan of Jason Statham in the Transporter series but this film surprised the hell out of me and was really well done.
1. Strangers. 
Now despite buying this on DVD and realizing once you've seen it once there's no reason to see it again, screening this movie freaked me out pretty good which is always a plus and it was one I was looking forward to all year.
