A Christmas Carol
Another flick that get lambasted by everyone I talk to for being an uninspired cash-in on the Dickens' classic. This was one of my favorite films of 2009, in my opinion completely surpassing Avatar in terms of pure entertainment value. Jim Carrey is having fun playing the greedy baddy Scrooge, and the film stays close to the source material, embracing the surreal and frightening situations first described in the book. I love this movie, let me know if you think I am way off base or not.
