Rethinking 2008 Movies

I've been rethinking my 2008 movie ranking list. I think I should make it a point to see every legitimate movie of the year. And by year I mean in terms of the Academy Awards as technically There Will Be Blood would count as a 2008 movie. Thus, I think I am obligated to see all of the top 20+ grossing movies, even if Sex And The City or High School Musical III are among them.
Also, I think 2009 will be more along the lines of me blogging about each movie as I see them and then ranking them accordingly. Perhaps a different blog just for that. I have several blog ideas rolling lately and I am just ambitious enough to take them on.
Anyways, I saw another movie tonight and I have two more lined up for tomorrow if I am lucky so here you go:

17. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
16. Charlie Bartlett
15. Definitely, Maybe
14. Incredible Hulk, The
13. Semi-Pro
12. You Don't Mess With The Zohan
11. Step Brothers
10. Horton Hears A Who
9. Pineapple Express
8. Role Models
7. Get Smart
6. Burn After Reading
5. Iron Man
4. Changeling
3. My Blueberry Nights
2. Dark Knight, The
1. WALL-E

Impressive ranking for Changeling. I think it's a tough call to put it where I did. Movies 5 through 13 are all FUN movies and it's hard to say I would necessarily watch Changeling more times than Iron Man or Burn After Reading. I feel as though I have to keep Iron Man pretty high but Changeling is just too good. Angelina Jolie, who I generally don't care for, was just about perfect. The acting was amazing. The direction was imperfect but still good on Clint Eastwood's part. The story was of course excellent. All in all a great movie. Iron Man and Burn After Reading are no doubt among my favorites for the year so it's hard for me to put a movie like this that I maybe have less of an attachment to ahead of them, but for now that's where it is. I may make changes later on, something I have been discussing all along.

As of right now, the top eight movies on the list are buy-able and the rest is not. While this number may seem a bit high, I would argue that I have generally seen some of the more critically acclaimed or important movies of 2008 thus far, thereby increasing the likelihood of a movie being buy-able. When I start seeing the aforementioned S&TS or HSM3, I think it will change.

On tomorrow's slate: Zach & Miri Make A Porno & Quantum Of Solace.

Last but not least, I revamped the sidebar to your right. I renamed a lot of the sections and broke the link lists in to more organized sections. I am quite confident that this will serve me personally much better than it will serve anyone else as I have no clue what you could possibly want from my links.
