No, you won't find Avatar on this list. Nor will you find The Twilight Saga: New Moon. They fell somewhere in between my top six movies of the year and my worst three. The question becomes, which fan base is more upset by not making the Top 6?.. or my Top 10 actual. It's clear those two films hit a cord with hard core fans more than any other. What sits at the top of my list? Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. For the rest of my top flicks of the year, you'll have to watch this "Keep it Local" segment on KOIN Local 6. I also learned something new while doing these live TV segments. When one of the hosts makes the twirling motion to you with one arm, that means, "Wrap it up IMMEDIATELY. We're out of time." Originally I decided it meant we had a minute or so left. I was wrong. You'll see at the end of the segment.
Also, I will have a "Top 7 Movies of 2009" coming later in the month of January. It will be the written version, not the TV thing.
