Untitled Thought about the "Films of 2010"

Classics I Revisited:

[On the Big Screen]

It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

Psycho (1960)

Halloween (1978)

Back To The Future (1985)

In 2010, I saw 50+ movies. There were many that I liked, few that I loved, and one I couldn't stop thinking about. After a single viewing, "Exit Through The Gift Shop" became one of my favorite movie surprises of the year. Others to note include "Toy Story 3", "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World", "Easy A", "Buried", "The Social Network", and yes how could I forget "Inception". Though it'll never be a dvd in my collection, it was certainly one of the better choices to make at the theater this year. And from the looks of it at the theatre these days, "Black Swan" seems to be another solid choice. I have yet to see it but I don't doubt that it falls into the "Hollywood Can Make a Good Movie" category.

However, there were some serious stinkers this year. These are the movies that go in the "Worst F**king Waste of Time" category. The gold medal goes to Rob Reiner's "Flipped", which was a completely pointless effort of recreating the charm of "Stand By Me". And speaking of charm, I can't forget the charmlessness of "Alice in Wonderland" or "Sex and the City 2". Both were commercially successful.

F**k that.
