At the beginning of the year, I was uncertain how many movies I would be able to fit into the following 365 days. I did however decide to keep track of which movies I saw, when I saw them, and the format they were in. As the months progressed, I was able to identify a goal of 250 movies. Sadly, I came up half a movie short. I didn’t finish “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead” and therefore ended the year with 249 movies watched. I had seen some of the movies on the following list before, and some, like Juno, appear multiple times. Will I be able to see this many films or more in 2009? I have no idea. I do hope to get to the theater more, but my dvd collection still contains many to be watched for the first time. Happy New Year, and enjoy 2009, “The Year of Even More Movies.”

Highlights of the year: Meeting director at advance Sarah Marshall screening, Seeing Juno numerous times in theaters, Dark Knight on IMAX, and McLovin at sneak preview of Role Models.
