Some of the Best Movies of 2009

 With the Oscars coming up, everyone is heading to the movie theater, the video rental store, or requesting Netflix, in an attempt to experience the most critically acclaimed films of the past year. Instead of putting your name on the waiting list at Blockbuster, along with the rest of the neighborhood, why not make the switch to satellite TV? Most satellite TV packages offer many movie viewing opportunities, meaning that you never have to leave the comforts of your own home to get up to date with the hottest new movies and know what's going on at the Oscars. If you haven't seen any of the nominated films, and only have time for a few, here are my recommendations (in no particular order).

Avatar (James Cameron and Jon Landau) - Avatar has captured the attention of the entire world. As someone who isn't much of a fan of science fiction movies, I didn't have much of a desire to see Avatar, but after about a month of hearing all of the hype, I decided I needed to see what it was all about. I was not disappointed. The film connects gorgeous special effects with a powerful message about humanity. Avatar is set in the future in a faraway planet called Pandora where nature and corporate capitalism are confronted with one another when an American corporation arrives in pursuit of the valuable minerals found on Pandora. Although the message is touching, it is the visuals that make this movie worth watching. With the beauty of high definition television, you will not be disappointed.

The Blind Side (John Lee Hancock) - The best part of this heartwarming film is Sandra Bullock's incredible performance as a wealthy woman who takes in an impoverished high school football star and helps him achieve in a world that seems to be working against him. Although we have seen many similar stories, this one is portrayed extremely well. The film has been blended with a sports metaphor, football to be specific. Michael Oher's main responsibility on the football field is to protect the quarterback's blindside from attackers, which is parallel to his role to protect his new family as well. This film is intelligently crafted and can't be missed.

Invictus (Clint Eastwood) - This inspirational film based on a true story will inevitably evoke intense emotions in its audience. With superb performances by Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as the captain of the South African rugby team, this epic film will surely be the recipient of an Oscar or two. This sports drama tells the tale of how Mandela and the captain of the rugby team came together in an effort to unite the apartheid-torn nation during the 1995 World Cup. This is a film that is more enjoyable with the beauty and realism of HD television.

The Return of the Weird Blockbuster

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness raises the question: Is Sam Raimi the best director to ever be attached to a Marvel movie? He doesn’t have an Oscar like Chloé Zhao or Taika Waititi, the sorts of filmmakers who, if nothing else, win Oscars (their movies really make you think). He doesn’t typically do prestige, and he avoids serious subject matter. But Raimi is also a singularly kinetic visual storyteller—a true showman—and, in his way, a transformational figure in the recent history of American cinema. When Raimi directed the first (and arguably best) Spider-Man in 2002, comic-book properties were a volatile prospect, if not an all-out gamble. The Joel Schumacher Batman movies were a pop-culture punch line, and R-rated Bayhem was all the rage. That Spider-Man surpassed even the most optimistic box-office expectations is only part of the story, however. The fact that a major studio would entrust such a valuable title to a guy like Raimi—whose most famous movie to that point f

Batman Beyond Settles Tony Stark vs Bruce Wayne

Since both characters are billionaires without inherent superpowers who use their wealth to develop a method to fight evil in their respective worlds, the debate over who is better between Batman and Iron Man has raged for decades—but an issue of Batman Beyond proves that Iron Man is superior. Tony Stark first became Iron Man after he was captured as a prisoner of war and developed a suit that could keep him alive following a nearly fatal injury. Since then, he continuously created better versions of his original design until he was successful in developing an entire army of his suits that he can control remotely in what's known as the Iron Legion. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, refined his body and mind rather than just his suit upon his entrance into the superhero world. Bruce trained with the greatest masters of basically every kind of martial art to make himself the pinnacle of what human beings are capable of. However, in the neo-tech future of Batman Beyond, Bruce is a lot o

Release and Streaming Play Set Firm Day Theatrical to Italy

A move that will transform Italy’s relationship with Netflix, the Italian government has set a firm three-month time window between a movie’s theatrical release and when it can drop on a streaming platform. The announcement was made by Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini during a Rome confab on the state of the country’s film industry held by the country’s motion picture association ANICA. The minister said he has signed a law that will extend the existing 90-day theatrical window for Italian films that had benefitted from government subsidies to now include all films, regardless of where they are produced or how they are financed. Due to its having a more flexible windowing policy than France, Italy in recent years has been an interesting testing ground for the theatrical releases of Netflix titles, largely because the Venice Film Festival is a frequent launching pad for the platform’s original films. Here I will inform you of the films that have just been released and can be
