Welcome, everyone, to the first annual Amazees!
What are the Amazees!, you ask? Well, I love awards shows, making lists, and talking about things I love, so I decided to combine them all and celebrate the stuff that made me happy this past year. Oh, I also like using the word “amazing.” And, thus, the Amazees! were born! Check out this sophisticated artist rendering of what an Amazee! looks like: 
Fancy, huh? You know you want one. Some people may not know this, but I love movies almost as much as I enjoy playing videogames. Of course my tawdry love affair with videogames will never quite be matched, but, I have to say, there is something about seeing a great movie that really tickles my fancy. Because of this obsession with movies and videogames I decided to present the Amazees! in two parts: today will focus on my favorite movies of 2008 and tomorrow will be dedicated to my favorite videogames of the year. Keep in mind that these awards only involve movies and videogames that I have seen or played. If something incredible is missing it is probably because I just haven’t experienced it yet. Don’t yell at me! So, without further adieu, I present to you the first annual Amazees!: *applause* *girls taking off their tops* *applause for girls taking off their tops* ____________________________________________ 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 
Wait, the tears streaming out of my face at the end of this movie have something to say: “The music ... so good ... so moving ...” There you go. Tears don’t lie. Runner-up: WALL-E 
Cloverfield 
Although the entire movie is technically impressive, the sound effects in particular in Cloverfield are exceptional. Runner-up: The Dark Knight 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 
Honestly, I just decided to add this category at the last minute just so I could talk about how freakin’ amazing the makeup in Benjamin Button is. Wow. Runner-up: The Wrestler 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 
The cinematography in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is absolutely gorgeous. And, yes, be prepared to read the name “Benjamin Button” a lot throughout the rest of these awards. Runner-up: Slumdog Millionaire 
Slumdog Millionaire 
It is very rare for me to notice how well a film is edited, but after seeing Slumdog Millionaire I remember mentioning to a friend how amazing the editing was. The remarkable style and frenetic pace of the movie are born almost entirely from the incredible editing. Runner-up: American Teen 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 
Um, they digitally inserted Brad Pitt’s face on another actor for almost half the movie. And it looks amazing. Yeah, this award could not have gone to any other film. Runner-up: Cloverfield 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 
How many times have you ever said a movie is better than its source material? For me, only a small handful. And one of those movies is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Runner-up: Frost/Nixon 
WALL-E 
WALL-E is the definition of a perfectly structured movie. From the opening, wordless portion on Earth to the surprisingly deep commentary on the human race’s obsession with consumerism that closes the movie, WALL-E impresses and never ceases to blow me away with its endless creativity. Runner-up: Slumdog Millionaire 
Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) 
As Queenie, the incredibly kind adoptive mother of Brad Pitt’s Benjamin, Taraji P. Henson is marvelous. No other actress this year (supporting or lead) embodied a role better. Every scene she was in filled my heart with such joy -- if I wasn’t laughing out loud I had a giant smile on my face. Runner-up: Rosemarie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married) 
Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight) 
I know, giving Heath Ledger this award is so obvious. But, man, all these months later I am still thinking about his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight. My favorite scene has to be the part when Ledger’s character walks out of the hospital dressed as the nurse. That little hop he does off the curb sealed the deal for me. Runner-up: Ayush Mahesh Khedekar (Slumdog Millionaire) 
Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) 
The rehearsal dinner scene alone in Rachel Getting Married wins this category for Anne Hathaway. No other movie this year made me feel more uncomfortable than Rachel Getting Married, and it’s all thanks to Anne Hathaway’s tragic performance. And I mean that as the highest compliment. Runner-up: Cate Blanchett (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) 
Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) 
Gosh, this was a tough category. Between Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Sean Penn (Milk), Clint Eastwood (Gran Torino) and Brad Pitt (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) I truly didn’t know who to pick! In the end, though, Mickey Rourke gave the most affecting, physically demanding performance I have seen all year. Um, he took a staple gun to the chest. MULTIPLE TIMES! Honorable Mention: Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon) 
Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) 
While David Fincher’s direction in Benjamin Button is flawless, I have to give the slight upper hand to Danny Boyle for his remarkable work on Slumdog Millionaire. Not only is Slumdog one of the best films of the year, it is also one of the most stylish and well constructed movies of all time. The direction truly is perfection. Runner-up: David Fincher (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) 
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 
When I first saw Benjamin Button more than a month ago I was obsessed with it. Instead of proclaiming it the best movie of 2008, though, I decided to let the experience sink in a little and see it again when it opened on Christmas Day. I did. And it is still my favorite movie of the year. As much as I adore Slumdog Millionaire and WALL-E, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button affected me on a level no movie has in years. The first time I saw it I continued to cry for at least ten minutes straight after the closing credits rolled. That’s one powerful piece of art! David Fincher’s masterpiece is like a modern day fairy tale, displaying some of the most technical wonder -- from the jaw-dropping visual effects to the stunning camera work -- I have ever seen on the big screen. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a movie I will remember and cherish for the rest of my life. Honorable Mentions: Slumdog Millionaire, WALL-E ____________________________________________ And, if you are curious, here is a list of my Top Ten Movies of 2008: Top Ten Movies of 2008 1.

I mean was there a dolphin scene in it and that's why you love it so much>
GO SEE IT! IT IS AMAZING! :D
This makes me want to go out and rescue a bus full of nuns and orphans to win an Amazee. Also if an old lady had one I'd punch her in the face and grab it.
Oh and I need to see the curious case of benjamin button now.
We did see Milk, though. We watched that one first because our friend from HSM had a small role in it. It was such a great movie ... but was anyone else disturbed by how similar Sean Penn's voice sounded to his I Am Sam character? No disrespect -- All I'm saying's it's weird.
I wanted to see Slumdog Millionare with my family, but my stepdad wouldn't shut up about The Spirit. Then we didn't end up seeing either because my sister couldn't finish girling herself up in time.
Everyone I know hates it. I just can't believe how wrong they are.
Also, I've never heard of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button til now, so I'm gonna check that shiznit out.
Nicely done Chad. Like the format and its pretty concise. A pleasure, can't wait for the games.
The name alone makes me want to see this movie. :)
Wait, on second thought perhaps we should just make our own lists instead of shitting on Chad's! Sorry bout that, hehe. Got carried away there.
I'm seeing Benjamin Button tonight, but I've never even heard of Slumdog Millionaire or The Wrestler (I've been incommunicado for a while). I'll have to go and check those suckers out.
I saw it in theatres, but just as an FYI, a good Screener of the film is making the, ahem, not-torrent round through the internet, for those less financially disposed to see it.
Chad and Best Of lists go together like two things that go together extremely well.
I only think Hal Holbrook should've won your 'Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role' amazee. He's such a great actor.
Also Mxy, get the fuck on seeing The Dark Knight right this second, seriously.
Actually, good list. I just saw Benjamin Button on Sunday, and while I kind of knew how it was going to play out just from hearing the premise, it was still a great movie, if a touch long. I think, though, that the subject matter was a bit too "heavy" for me, like I didn't want to see such a painful story play out.
*Note: These are not all Warner Bros. movies
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! :O
I'd agree with most of your list, except Milk. Too self-gratifying and no Denzel in a civil liberties movie = what? Go watch Let The Right One In! :D
I do want to see Benjamin Button though...
Also anybody who hasn't seen slumdog millionare must go see it. NOW!
*is pissed because he wants to watch Nick & Norah*
But Mexico does get a few movies early, like the awesome "Taken" starring Liam Neeson. It released in France in Feb 08, Mexico August-ish 08, and won't hi the US til Feb or March 09 I think.
