Recap: 82nd Academy Awards (winners and comments)
The 82nd Academy Awards aired last night and I’m assuming most of you saw it, well unless you live in the NY area and have Cablevision, then you missed the first 20 minutes. I don’t know what side is right or wrong, maybe they are both greedy pricks? I particularly hate Cablevision and The Dolans so I think it’s their fault haha. How convenient they are the one always in the middle of these disputes with the studios. But enough with that, the big news last night was that The Hurt Locker got 6 Oscars. The Hurt Locker and director Kathryn Bigelow beat out Avatar and James Cameron for Best Picture and Best Director. I think that was a little bit surprising. I would have thought that the two movies would have been split down the middle. Honestly, I didn’t like Hurt Locker. It was a bit boring, long, and not Best Picture quality in my mind.

The 82nd Academy Award nominations announced!
The nominations for 82nd Academy Awards were announced this morning! Not really any surprises or shockers here, more of the same from the other award shows we’ve seen. About the only change is seeing 10 movies being nominated instead of 5 for Best Picture. The result of that is seeing movies like District 9, Up and Blind Side being nominated. Avatar and Hurt Locker both scored 9 nominations and that looks like the movies to beat this year. Personally, hoping Avatar wins a lot this year. I’m just glad stupid Glee won’t be ruining this awards show! Read the full list below:

Matt’s Year in Review 2009
It’s that time of year for everyone to reflect on 2009, and look back at what was great and what wasn’t. Now, it’s my turn. You may see some similarities in lists but whatever, I tried to switch it up. I didn’t get in depth as much as Bryan or Tom’s List but this is what I thought stood out for me in this roller coaster of a year. Have a look at my list, after the jump!

When I originally saw the trailer for Up, I didn’t know what to think of it. I wasn’t sure if I was going to go see it or not. Since Up was getting excellent word of mouth from critics, I decided to see the movie on opening weekend in 3-D. I’m glad I saw it that way, because Up was one of the best movies of the year! Pixar continues to make impressive movies that both adults and children can enjoy and Up is one of those movies!

SQUIRREL! Up available on DVD and Blu-Ray November 10th
Up will be coming out on DVD and Blu-Ray November 11th and I couldn’t be happier. It was, by far, one of the best movies of the year! Only Pixar can make me cry and laugh in the same movie this much. I seriously don’t know how they do it. I’m not sure Up is better WALL•E but both films are definitely wonderful and definitely worth watching. SQUIRREL!
