Best and Worst 2010

Toy Story 3.  I laughed, I cried, I laughed until  I cried.  There was a point near the end where I thought, "they are actually going to kills toys, this is not okay."  Isn't it so satisfying when the movies in a franchise just get better and better?  Spanish Buzz and Mr. Tortilla Head? Whoever thought those up needs a raise, cause that's comedy.

Inception...there are no words.  Well, that's a lie.  There are too many words.  I really don't think Christopher Nolan can make a bad movie and we should all worship at his altar.  I love that he expects the attention of his audiences and doesn't treat us like we're stupid.  (That being said, watch Following.  You won't regret it.)  When the top is spinning and the movie ends, gasp.  I also love hearing everyone's different theories on why the top did or did not fall.  You know it's a good movie when people STILL talk about it.  And if you hated this movie because you didn't get it, well I hate to break it to you, but that's not the movie's fault, it's yours.  "You're waiting for a train....".

I could watch The Town over and over.  And sometimes I do. Jeremy Renner, where have you been all my life?  He is incredible.  And get used to seeing him because it's going to happen a lot.  Everyone in this movie is awesome.  There's nothing bad about it.  The robberies and subsequent getaways are so clever and action packed.  And the climactic heist is the best of all.  What a place to rob! Awesome!  I know what you're thinking and yes, Gigli is awful on so many levels, but get over it.  Ben Affleck is good.  He's a good director and a good actor.  If after watching The Town you still aren't convinced go rent Hollywoodland (he plays George Reeves) and Gone Baby Gone (which he directed).  And if you're still not convinced after that go rent Battlefield Earth and I'm sure you'll love it cause you clearly have terrible taste in movies.  If you are renting The Town, try to get the extended version (it's only available on blu ray).  It's well worth it.

Why is Jeff Bridges the "Dude" in Tron:Legacy?  Is he still pissed about his rug or something?  And why are there so many holes in the plot?  And why is the only entertaining part of this movie when they're racing the light bikes?  Also, if you're going to cough up the extra 3D surcharge it's totally crap that nothing is even in 3D until about half an hour into the movie. What a crock.

Get Him to the Greek is disgusting.  Not funny.  Disgusting.  Not dirty joke funny. Disgusting.  And no, it doesn't get any better and no one is redeemed.  It just gets more disgusting.

Clash of the Titans....yep. Moving On.

Nope, I don't like Russel Crowe.  Nope, I don't think he's a good actor.  Nope, I don't think he's a terrible actor.  I think he's worse than that.  He is unbelievably average.  The movies he's in that are good aren't good because of him, it's because the story is good enough to overshadow him.  Robin Hood is not that great of a movie.  And it shouldn't be called Robin Hood.  It should  be something like Robin Longstride.  Cause he's only Robin Hood for about 10 minutes of the whole thing.  Yes, Gladiator is a good movie, because the story is good and the supporting cast is awesome.  And while we're on the subject, Gladiator won Best Picture, but Ridley Scott didn't win Best Director.  If you can direct someone so mediocre to win Best Actor, you really should win Best Director.  (for the record, Steven Soderbergh won that year for Traffic.) 

I'm not sure it's totally fair that The Kid's Are All Right is on here, considering I didn't even watch the whole thing because it was too boring and I sat through G-Force.  Yes, apparently guinea pigs are more entertaining than lesbians.

Are you ever watching a sequel to a movie you really enjoyed and thinking, what's changed?  Is it me?  Is it them?  Do I love them, but I'm not in love with them?  In this case, it's not me, it's them.  And they're bad. Sex & the City 2 oh how I wish you were a good movie.  The first one was so good.  Funny, heartbreaking, fashion shows.  I  mean what else can you ask for?  I would like to ask for this second installment to be wiped from the records of cinematic history.  I just can't defend you.
