1. Red
If you're going to tell me that the old guys are bad-ass, they need to kill more people, period. Frustrated, but entertained. |
|
|
2. Fright Night
No no don't bite me...wait...I'll take my top off...okay now you can bite me. |
|
|
3. Rosemary's Baby
Oh hell, literally. So much Satan |
|
|
4. Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life
A documentary of my favorite author. It was excellent and someday I will own it. |
|
|
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I
Thoroughly impressed! Adheres to the maturity of the audience (unlike Star Wars prequels) and does so well in aging. Great risks that I loved in the end. Some amazing special effects. |
|
|
6. TRON: Legacy
Had a fun time with special effects. Lots of plot holes |
|
|
7. Black Swan
The best movie of 2010 in my opinion. Darren Arronofsky does it again. |
|
|
8. True Grit
A pretty damn good repeat, but to me it shows how much film style has changed since the original. |
|
|
9. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
So oppressively happy and family-tied, I sat in the theater rubbing my eyes at how boring it was |
|
|
10. The Fighter
Christian Bale did an excellent job |
|
|
11. The American
Super slow, intense, and not at all what the trailers showed |
|
|
12. In the Loop
If our politicians are like these guys, we're in trouble |
|
|
13. Winter’s Bone
I don't ever want to live in the Ozarks |
|
|
14. Restrepo
A documentary filled with emotional ups and down and nearly zero political commentary, thank God. |
|
|
15. The Good, the Bad, the Weird
A simple plot about a map that allows for a ridiculous two hour non-stop action movie and a thirty minute chase scene. |
|
|
16. Superman / Batman: Public Enemies
Why was there a spaceship of half batman and half superman? They didn't even know they were going to be involved |
|
|
17. Good Morning, Vietnam
Use the Vietnam war so Robin Williams can play Robin Williams. And I still liked it. |
|
|
18. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
So many people got shot. Great narration by Robert Downey Jr. and great bad-ass work from Val Kilmer. |
|
|
19. Exit Through the Gift Shop
This man took street art, saturated it, copied it, and became a cultural icon overnight. And he did nothing. What an amazing story you have to see to believe |
|
|
20. Insomnia
This was so bad I forgot to put it on the list. Robin Williams cannot be a bad guy murderer and just because it's bright outside doesn't mean you can't get any sleep. |
|
|
21. L.A. Confidential
Russel Crowe and Guy Pearce should do more stuff together. Almost as Noir as you can get. |
|
|
22. Gosford Park
A brilliant slow broil of a movie. I extremely enjoyed this serious take on a murder mystery. |
|
|
23. Network
Either things haven't changed since 1976 or this movie foretold the future in the most detailed way imaginable. This movie is scary how true it feels for our life today. |
|
|
24. The King's Speech
It was a great movie. Not in my top five but it will probably win best picture for 2010 |
|
|
25. Let Me In
Best Vampire movie I have ever seen or will see. I was on the edge for the entire time |
|
|
26. The Brothers Bloom
Crazy good movie! Featured Brodyquest himself and Mark Ruffalo and carried me through the entire length. Con on Con on Con |
|
|
27. Snake in the Eagle's Shadow
Amazing choreography in one of Jackie Chan's first flick, and my God does he look like a man in this. Awkward Eastern Humor is assured |
|
|
28. Never Let Me Go
Probably the most sad movie I've seen since The Good Shepherd. Excellent movie though. |
|
|
29. A Serious Man
One of the most dry movies I've seen ever. And that guy from Boardwalk Empire is in it! |
|
|
30. Battle: Los Angeles
Seizure inducing camera work and horrible attempts at sentimentality make this less than a standard invasion movie. |
|
|
31. The Green Hornet
If you can get past some awkward movie moments this film will be enjoyable, at least if you go to a dollar theatre like I did. |
|
|
32. Paul
I loved it. Paul is one of the best alien characters ever written. I'm also a die hard fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost |
|
|
33. Chinatown
Slightly disappointing actually. We'll see how much this comes into the L.A. Noir video game |
|
|
34. Sucker Punch
Surprisingly deep story. Astounding effects, fight scenes, and grime, this may turn into one of my favorites for 2011. |
|
|
35. The Fountainhead
This movie was so melodramatic it was hilarious. Big fan of Ayn Rand, but I feel there is a generation gap that made this one of the best comedies ever made. |
|
|
36. American Splendor
Movie with Paul Giamatti playing a comic book writer who writes about the complicated features of simple living. Pretty damn good |
|
|
37. The Lincoln Lawyer
Pretty standard law movie with some bad camera work and awkward hilarious cliche moments. |
|
|
38. Source Code
This movie was awesome! Definitely allowed multiple twists, and Jake Gyllenhaal carries the film's acting. Combined humor, action, and emotional dialogue together that made me happy to see it in the theatres |
|
|
39. Scream 4
Yea, watched it and loved it. Comedic to say the least, and I totally dug the twists. |
|
|
40. Atlas Shrugged: Part I
So much business. They took my favorite novel and made it boring and trivial. |
|
|
41. Million Dollar Baby
Watched this a long time ago but I guess I forgot to put it up. Watched it recently and again realize Morgan Freeman should narrate everything. |
|
|
42. Zodiac
Probably my favorite David Fincher movie, Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr. are a great combination. |
|
|
43. Se7en
Can't believe I didn't add this movie either. Yes, I watched this...and it's awesome |
|
|
44. Once
Take these broken wings and make them...something...we still got time!!!! |
|
|
45. The Black Dahlia
What a terrible movie, and it wasn't any better drunk, like many other things. |
|
|
46. From Hell
Not as bad as Black Dahlia. Although it was rich in atmosphere, its twist was just dumb. |
|
|
47. The Sensation of Sight
I enjoyed the character study, but felt there needed to be more of a centralized plot. More of a character based movie. Still good though. |
|
|
48. Fast Five
loud and proud. script was terrible. action was great. Usual stuff. |
|
|
49. An Education
While the dialogue was fantastic, every character got what they wanted. Not much change there...still enjoyable. |
|
|
50. Following
The moral: don't ever follow someone...ever |
