2010 In Film

I was wondering what were my favourite and least favourite films of 2010. There were so many films last year, it's hard to choose. I've managed to find and list 10 in no particular order. And don't worry, they're not all animations, in fact most of them are live action films. I was a little bit disappointed by Dispicable Me and How To Train Your Dragon and as I haven't seen Megamind yet I haven't included it.

Best in 2010:
Toy Story 3: What else is there to say about the movie. Not much. For me, it sealed my dream to be a character animator.

Inception: The story was brilliant and had me thinking all the way through. The second time I saw it I didn't have to think about the story so much, and just enjoyed the great effects.

Shutter Island: Another great story which had me thinking throughout. 2010 was a good year for Leonardo Di Caprio films!

Four Lions: Immensely funny, but nothing less was expected from Chris Morris. I'll be getting the DVD soon and watching the special features.

Exit Through The Gift Shop: I just enjoyed watching this story unfold. The centre character (not Banksy) was very interesting to watch and it was interesting to learn a bit more about Banksy and go behind the scenes so to speak.

Worst in 2010
The Expendables: I knew it was going to be so awful, that's why I watched it, but it surpassed all my expectations. The cameo of Arny Swarch was utterly laughable with a hint of cringe.

Clash Of The Titans: A really poor film and the only reason I watched it was because Smoke and Mirrors (or maybe The Mill) made the title sequence! Not a good reason, but the only I can think of. The original is so far better as far as I remember it.

Kick-Ass: I just didn't get what was good about it. Effects were nice actually, but story wise it didn't appeal to me.

Prince of Persia: Sands Of Time: This had so much potential; good actors and a long successful history in the games market, but it failed for my tastes.

Here's to another year of awesome films to be made, watched and enjoyed!
