The Best of 2010...

Well, its March now, so I guess I've put off my best of 2010 lists for long enough now. Let's start with movies.

1.) True Grit - In my opinion, Hailee Steinfield and Jeff Bridges deserved the Oscars they were nominated for, and the film deserved Best Picture overall, but I didn't get a vote. Still, this movie is the best western to hit the big screen since Eastwood's Unforgiven. This is a near perfect movie, and by far the best movie of 2010.

2.) The Social Network - David Fincher's drama about the Facebook boom took a lot of people but surprise. Its full of amazing direction and solid performances, and if it hadn't been released in the same year as True Grit, would have been my top pick of the year.

3.) Inception - Christopher Nolan's follow up to The Dark Knight was a mindbending trip that had no business making sense, muchless being so dang enjoyable. Yet, somehow Nolan pulled it off, making the complex story mostly easy to follow and a fun ride worth taking. DiCaprio and Page are excellent in the main roles.

4.) Toy Story 3 - Many doubted Pixar's ability to provide another Toy Story with anywhere near the quality of the original two, but they more than pulled it off. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprise their roles of Woody and Buzz and provide a perfect ending to a dang near perfect trilogy of animated classics.

5.) Kick-Ass - The best comic book adaptation of the year wasn't by Marvel or DC either one, but instead, a rarely heard of indie. Nicolas Cage turned in his best performance since who knows when, and newcomers Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz all but steal the show. By far the most fun I had in the theaters in 2010.
