The Top Ten Films of 2009

As Drafted by Jon and Rollie

1. The Hurt Locker
Kathryn Bigelow's Iraq war thriller/action movie could well be, as James Cameron put it, the Platoon of the Iraq war. Chillingly objective and unflinching, The Hurt Locker cuts to the core of why humans need (and in a disturbing way, want) war. One of the most powerful experiences of the last few years.

We'll Be Back Before You Know It

Sorry for the extended lack of activity around here, folks. I've decided to let the Ghost rest for a few months while I finish up my bachelor's degree, among other reasons.  Ghost on Screen will be up and running again in early May. Set your alarms.

Until then. You can find me blogging for the Daily Nebraskan at my blog Moving Pictures (also available at the sidebar).  I am also doing my column for one more semester on great movies and an even dabbling in pseudo-legitimate journalism. In the meantime, Jon will likely be posting occasionally, so keep an eye out. Until then, long days and pleasant nights.
