Well, 2008 is over and the 2009 movie season looms over us like a petulant child, demanding our attention and constantly wanting to be fed and changed. These new movie seasons sure are screaming, poop machines, aren’t they?
Anywho, the Academy is deciding on the 2008 Oscar nominees as we speak (this year’s Oscars are supposed to air on February 22). When the nominees are finally announced (Jan 22), I’ll be sure to let you know what movies made it and also give a little review of how I think the Oscar committee did like I did for last year’s Oscars nominations.
So, on to the movies I saw in 2008. The Movie Board, just to give a small history, was started by me in Dec 2006. I use it to keep track of all the movies I watched that were released on DVD or in theaters during the calendar year. This way I can easily look back at my list at the end of the year and see, at a glance, what my favorite movies were. Here’s the list for 2007 to refresh your memory.
So, without further ado, here is my 2008 Movie Board with all the movies I saw this year (click the image for a bigger view).
According to its all-knowing dry erase-ness, I saw 49 movies last year. Just over 4 a month or about a movie a week. Last year, I was up over 50 movies. Of course, this doesn’t include older movies not released in 2008 that Steph and I watched from Blockbuster and/or Netflix. Nor does it take into account multiple viewings because I saw Iron Man, Hulk, Hancock, Jumper, Tropic Thunder and several others at least twice last year (some in the theater and some on DVD).
