It’s almost a new year and a new decade, and TNT plans to inaugurate both with an all-day movie marathon on Friday, January 1, 2010.

INTERESTING TRIVIA: Peter Jackson, the Oscar-winning director of the night’s 8pm blockbuster The Lord of the Rings, as well as the highly anticipated upcoming feature The Lovely Bones, was recently knighted by England’s Queen Elizabeth II.
