Best of 2010: Movies

Its the end of the year and its time to do my annual top 10 best movies of the year. Last year the best movie went to Swedish movie "Let the Right One In".

 10. Kick-Ass

Funny, Violent, Fun, Crazy. This movie has it all. Alot of similarities to a Quentin Tarantino movie with its stylistic violence.

9. The Town

Only problem with this movie i had was probably that the ending could have been better. Other than that its a solid movie with great acting from Jeremy Renner and great Directing from Ben Affleck.

 8. Tetro

Directed by the great Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather Trilogy), he has finally returned the the form of making great movies with this fantastic story of Tetro. Probably his best since Apocalypse Now. 

7. Shutter Island

Directed by Martin Scorsese who never fails to make a good movie. Not as good as his previous effort (The Departed) but it stays true to a Scorsese film. 

6. The Road

This post-apocalyptic story of Survival with brilliant acting by Viggo Mortensen technically came out in 2009, but i didn't see it til 2010 so its in my list of 2010 films.

 5. The Social Network

In the top 5 we have The Social Network directed by the genius David Fincher who also brought us classics like Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac. Its amazing how he managed to make a simple story look so good on film.

4. Mesrine

An instant gangster classic, as it says on its poster. This french movie makes Hollywood look bad. Probably the best gangster movie I've seen in a long time.

3. Animal Kingdom

Another crime classic, this time from Australia. Best crime movie I've seen since, well, Mesrine.

2. Inception

Christopher Nolan is officially labeled a Genius in my mind after watching this movie. A complete Mind-Fuck, took me a second viewing to decide on what really happens in this film. 

and the best movie of 2010 goes to..........
.................................................................
.................................................................

1. The Secret in their Eyes

Released in Argentina in 2009, and 2010 is most other countries. I didn't hear of this film until it won best foreign film at the Oscars this year, so i label it a 2010 movie in my books. Murder, Mystery, Romance, Crime... everything in one epic. Definitely a must see for movie lovers.

Honorable Mentions: Black Swan, Brothers, The Edge of Darkness, Machete.

That's the top 10 movies of this year, and as 2010 is the end of a decade, i will soon give yall the top movies of the DECADE!!!! Stay Tuned Babies!!!
