Top 10 of 2010

So here it is: the first one is my favourite of the year, after that they're in no particular order.

1) INCEPTION

The spectacular masterpiece of the year. I saw this three times at the cinema and was blown away every time. Words fail to express how i feel about this movie and it has come to tie as my favourite movie of all time.

2) Kick-Ass

One of the most fun, exciting and well directed films that has now placed director Matthew Vaughn on my top Directors list after Stardust and Layer Cake. With stellar performances form Nicholas Cage, Aaron Johnson and the superb Chloe Moretz as the trash talking ass-kicking Hit Girl.

3) The Social Network

Flawless, Flawless movie, who knew that Facebook could make such an interesting and provocative story, top notch Script, Direction, Script and Performances.

4) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

The best in the series yet with stellar Directing from David Yates (Who i might mention i believed in the whole time!)

5) Buried

When the critics used Hitchcock in the same sentence as this film they weren't lying. Ryan Reynolds outdoes himself and director Rodrigo Cortes make the entire movie set in a box far more thrilling than most high-budget thrillers.

6) Toy Story 3

What a great ending to a saga I started in my childhood, bringing tears of sadness, joy and a wealth of emotions. Lee Unkritch wraps up one of the greatest trilogies ever.

7) Easy A

Such an under-appreciated teen film from the new John Hughes, Will Gluck. Emma stone carries the film superbly with great comic timing and even retired-then-not-retired actress Amanda Bynes has a great turn as a Jesus Freak teen. Hilarious and very well played.

8) The Kings Speech

Technically I saw this in 2011 but... Superb Performances, Unique direction and a great script turn what could have been another dreary stuffy costume drama into one of the most involving films of the year.

9) How to train Your Dragon

I was dragged to this movie not wanting to see it and boy was I surprised, such a pleasant turn for Dreamworks who normally make incredibly childish animations. Great oice cast and brilliant script.

10) Tangled

Again, technically this year but... A superb take on the traditional fairytale and one of the first CGI films that really honors the origins of hand-drawn animation. Great voices, music and witty script.

All these films got 10/10 from me.
