After thinking about it the last few days and many, many bus rides later, the Zeros (2000-2009) are coming to an end, so it is that time of the decade where we come out with our Top lists of everything. These lists are in no particular order.
BEST MOVIES
- The Hangover
- Transformers
- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
- A Serious Man
- Where the Wild Things Are
- Paranormal Activity
- Eurotrip
- American Pie (But I think only 2 & 3 can be official since the original was produced in the ’90s)
- Wedding Crashers
- Old School
- Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
- The Dark Knight
BEST BOOKS
My head was buried in a textbook all year. I couldn’t even begin to tell you what great books made the shelves this year.
BEST MUSIC
Who am I kidding? I thought the music in this decade was awful! Rap got to the point where you either can’t understand the words or degrading people. Same can be said with heavy metal. Also, way too many sappy, love songs. What ever happened to the good music of the 70s, 80s & 90s?
