Fabulous Sebastian’s Top 5 of 2009

Better Off Ted - A crazy, rapid fire sitcom that explores American big business practices at the fictional Veridian Dynamics. Do you want to turn a pumpkin into a Weapon of Mass Destruction? Veridian can do that. Portia De Rossi follows up her wonderful work on Arrested Development with another extreme character.


Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus - A film that is more than a catchy title. A prehistoric shark and octopus are unfrozen and have to battle not just each other, but eighties pop sensation Debbie Gibson and hunky Lorenzo Lamas. Lamas steals the movie (from a shark that attacks airplanes) with his deadpan delivery (and dangerous ponytail).


Star Trek - The Star Trek franchise has been even a hit and miss affair. JJ Abrams makes it work because he knows the secret ingredient for success - James T Kirk. Chris Pine channels William Shatner to bring the swagger back to science fiction.


No Heroics - The British make a super hero series that may be the complete opposite to Heroes. In the best British tradition, the heroes rarely leave the pub. Their superpowers are sometimes questionable, like their motives.


Tokyo Gore Police
- The title does not fully prepare you for the violence, body modifications, and twisted sexuality of this Japanese movie.
