The 10 Best Films of 2009

Posted on



BY KEVIN CARR

10. Paranormal Activity
The theme for this year in my moviegoing adoration was the return of the theatrical experience, and “Paranormal Activity” was a tiny little film that made it big because of this. If you didn’t see this movie in a dark theater with 250 of your closest friends, you were really missing out.

9. Anvil: The Story of Anvil
Each year, a special documentary seems to make it on my list. This year’s pick is “Anvil: The Story of Anvil.” It’s a tender story of a real-life “Spinal Tap” with a bit of “American Movie” mixed in. I dare you to watch it and not root for the guys in the greatest metal band that never was.

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil watch Watchmen and give their opinions about the most anticipated movie of 2009. Joining them in the Magical Virtual Studio in the Sky is Cole Abaius, the resident Watchmen aficionado at FilmSchoolRejects.com. Kevin tries to derail the episode by discussing the falling-in-love failures of The Bachelor and what a lousy president Allison Taylor is on 24, but Neil and Cole bring things back to the Watchmen spotlight because there’s nothing else coming out this week. Finally, Cole stuns everyone by declaring that this weekend will be another winner for Madea at the box office.

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil suffer through another week of no screenings for the press, even though Neil secretly wants to see the Jonas Brothers concert in the theaters. The Fat Guys give their response to the Oscars and declare that they aren’t going to talk too much about Watchmen yet, and Kevin has the thick-headedness to say that Matthew Goode plays the Nite Owl. Go figure. They also discuss hot chicks from Scrubs who are also chubby chasers, as well as how effective neck beards are for getting the girls. What did you expect? These guys haven’t seen any movies this week.

Films Reviewed this Week: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and The Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil hook up again in the Virtual Studio in the Sky, remaining in disparate locations like a Presidential/Vice-Presidential ticket.

The Fat Guys discuss Neil’s unconventional love for Zac Efron (aka “Zefron” to his fans) while Kevin rants about drunken Irish cops in Pride and Glory.

Films Reviewed this Week: Pride and Glory, High School Musical 3 and Saw V.
