Saw and met Blue October and The Used in June. They were both pretty good. I don't like "The End" That song scares the ####### out of me.

Movies

1) Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince

2) Confessions of a Shopaholic

3) Fast & Furious

4) The Proposal

5) Twilight Saga: New Moon (*hides*)

Music

1) Paramore - brand new eyes

2) Muse - The Resistance

3) Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster (yeah, it just came out... so what? )

4) Flyleaf - Momento Mori

5) Billy Talent - III

And I have to say that 2009 was an awesome year, concert wise -- I saw No Doubt & Paramore @ the ACC, and then hit up Edgefest @ Downsview Park a few days later, so I got to see Metric, Alexisonfire, Billy Talent, etc.. etc. What a muddy day that was... but it rocked. (I haven't seen many concerts in my life. Oh so sheltered I was up until a few years ago...)

I'm with you there....went to AT LEAST one concert a month. 2009 will be hard to top.

[Dan and Ali 3]

Oh goodness, I love Emily Haines to pieces. Happy to see it on the list!

Yeah! I own about 850 CDs by about 300 different artists, and I'm tempted to say Metric is my favorite band right now. Them, the New Pornographers, TV On The Radio, Muse and Porcupine Tree would be duking it out for that honor. Just to...you know...throw in another top five.

Glorious, glorious choices ...!

I am still having difficulties believing that noone is mentioning District 9.

District 9 made it to my top 5 movies of all time, not just this year.

Haven't seen it yet! There are actually quite a few movies from this year that come out on DVD this month...and I only see 6 - 10 movies in theatres each year. I'm looking really forward to District 9 and Inglourious Basterds, as well as The Hangover.

I rarely movies, but I am quite looking forward to being able to watch District 9 again.

I didn't mind that movie but it definitely wasn't my favourite. I couldn't get past how the ship just sat there ... like, after all that time it just sat there. It still makes no sense to me. Perhaps I missed the explanation about that ...

My top 5 movies:

1) STAR TREK! (I am not a Trekkie either but this was just such a great movie. I bought it for my fiance for Christmas and I am so stoked for him to open it so we can watch it! )

2) Inglorious Basterds (I guess I'm in the minority for liking this one but I thought it was brilliant.)

3) Zombieland (I loved this movie ... especially the cameo!)

4) Harry Potter (I love Harry Potter!)

5) I Love You, Man (So funny!)

Also, Wyatt's Torch ... I agree with you, Rachel Getting Married was a huge disappointment.
