Introduction

It was a year when animation and comic book movies both reached new heights. Animation, by entering unexpected narrative territory with films like WALL-E. Comic book movies, by finding a new depth in films like The Dark Knight and Iron Manfilms you couldnt so easily keep an ironic distance from.

But the news was not so bright in straight narrative films, where several key indie distributors went out of business, and independent filmmakers found it was more difficult than ever to find sources of financing and distribution. When the windows between theatrical release, cable play, and DVD grew smaller, viewers enjoyed their increased choices but were threatened by the prospect of traditional movie theaters disappearing. The best way to see a movie is in a theater with good projection and sound and a sympathetic audience, and it always will be.

For me, this has been a time of health struggles, beginning with surgery in June 2006, followed by other surgeries and complications. There was no traditional Yearbook 2008, but we bridged the gap with a special anniversary edition titled Roger Eberts Four-Star Reviews19672007.

During my illness I had long periods of recuperation and mobility when I was able to see and review movies, including the past several months, so this 2009 volume contains a respectable cross section of the movies of two years, especially since I doubled back and reviewed some I had missed. It also has the customary Answer Man items, Glossary entries, and something new: Many of the entries I wrote for my new blog on rogerebert.com. The blog was a revelation for me, allowing a new kind of interaction with my readers, who astonished me with their writing, insight, knowledge of movies, and thoughtful comments.

After entries like In Search of Redemption and When a Movie Hurts Too Much, I was moved by the personal revelations and thoughts so many readers shared. I must have a high-quality readership, because after thousands of comments I have not yet received even one example of that classic online riposte You suck!

I find I value movies more than ever these days. They are a lifeline for me. Deprived by necessary surgery of the power of speech, I can no longer appear on television or do many of the things I treasured. But I can still think, see, and review movies, in exactly the same way. And that is a comfort. That, and knowing you are there joining in the dialogue.

Acknowledgments

My editor is Dorothy OBrien, tireless, cheerful, all-noticing. My friend and longtime editor Donna Martin suggested the yearbook approach to the annual volume. The design is by Cameron Poulter, the typographical genius of Hyde Park.

My thanks to production editor Christi Clemons Hoffman, who renders Camerons design into reality. John Yuelkenbeck at Coleridge Design is the compositor who has worked diligently on the series for years. I have been blessed with the expert and discriminating editing of Laura Emerick, Miriam DiNunzio, Darel Jevins, Jeff Johnson, and Teresa Budasi at the Chicago Sun-Times; Sue Roush at Universal Press Syndicate; and Michelle Daniel and David Shaw at Andrews McMeel Publishing. For much advice and counsel, thanks to Jim Emerson and John Barry of www.rogerebert.com.

Many thanks are also due to Marsha Jordan at WLS-TV. My gratitude goes to Carol Iwata, my expert personal assistant, and to Gregory Isaac, who is a computer whiz and invaluable aide-de-camp. I must also thank those who have given me countless observations and corrections, including Peter Debruge, Jana J. Monji, and Troylene Ladner.

And special thanks and love to my wife, Chaz, who was always at my side during a difficult illness, helped see three books through the press during that time, and was a cheerleader for this one. I am so grateful to her as we once again, relieved, enter a period of good health.
