The Films Of 2010

Happy New Year to anyone who reads this blog, which, taking into account the act that this is only the third entry, is most likely an incredibly small amount.

As I looked forward, it's probably only natural that I look back too; so here, as a slight companion piece to me last entry, are the films that rocked me (and bored me) last year. They don't necessarily have to have been released last year; I just had to have watched them for the first time.

First, my Top Films of 2010:

1. Toy Story 3 ("certainly a brilliant film...had me choking up and blubbering like a baby")
2. Inception ("One of the best films you will see...great stuff")
3. There Will Be Blood (Finally saw this worthy award winning turn by Daniel Day-Lewis)
4. The Bride Of Frankenstein (Probably the greatest horror film ever made)
5. The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford ("The film speaks volumes for us today")
6. Zombieland (Very funny stuff with some nice surprises)
7. Star Trek (A great sci-fi film, not just for Trekkies)
8. Michael Clayton ("A perfectly fine intelligent picture")
9. Watchmen (A very successful attempt at adapting the epic graphic novel)
10. Jennifer's Body (Fun, sexy and gory second film from the pen of Diablo Cody)

And now, the worst films I saw last year:

1. Lust For A Vampire (Awful, camp lesbian vampire tosh)
2. Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (Awful sequel to one of Steven Segal's few good films)
3. Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen (Overblown and boring)
4. The Book Of Eli ("A lot of people will leave the film very disappointed")
5. The Boat That Rocked ("Too long and leaves too many loose ends unresolved")
6. Burn After Reading (Doesn't hit the right notes like a Coen Brothers' film should)

Those last 4 films were all scored a 6 on my voting, so I was obviously very lenient last year on that front! Must be crueler, harsher. Probably.
