2010: Favorite Movies
As the New Year rolls in, unfolding its own great wonders, it is only fitting to acknowledge and look back on the entertainment of 2010. Flashing back on how the past year has been, there can be no doubt that it brought ups and downs. There were tons of blasts and a great amount of excitement to the people from the all around the world. The sphere of entertainment, delivered a good amount of movies that scored either a thumbs up or thumbs down. There were a large number of movies released in 2010, some of which gained the praises of critics and others that did not. So, below are my top 10 picks for 2010’s best movie releases. Note: These movies might not be movies that interest you. But these ones seemed to be the ones to stand out most not just for me, but also to other watchers. So, read on.
10. Lovely Bones: The special effects in the movie were probably the first aspect that made the movie stand out. The movie itself was okay. Some times there were parts in which the plot kind of got a little bit dull. However, it is still worth watching, but probably renting it would’ve been a good idea instead of leaving the theatre unfulfilled.
9. The Last Song: A movie based from the book Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. It’s pretty predictable that you’re going to be getting a mix of drama, romance, tragedy, and tears. If you love Nicholas Sparks movies or books, then you’ll probably dig this one. Although it’s probably too intense and dramatic for tween girls used to seeing Miley Cyrus in her Hannah Montana persona.
8. Avatar: Avatar, a movie by James Cameron, the director of the movie Titanic, received a thumbs up. This is definitely a must-see movie. It was best in theater because the home theatre experience won’t even come close to the theater. It is much more in-depth and then you’ll be able to appreciate the effects even more.
7. Step Up 3D: In this movie, I got exactly what I expected, not the least of which was some truly accomplished dancing, photographed impressively in 3D. The most impressive thing about Step Up is that the enjoyment and action it delivered. It’s fun.
6. Dear John: The movie Dear John would not really be considered as ‘epic’. However, the love team of the movie, Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, (who looked really good together, by the way) captured the true essence of the characters from the book. Fans of the book or any of Sparks’s work know what they’re in for, and they will not get disappointed.
5. Alice in the Wonderland: Tim Burton converts Lewis Caroll’s tale, into a fantastical, eye-popping 3-D joy ride for the attention-deficit “Avatar” loving generation. The most notable thing about the movie is that the visual stimulations never stop. The appearance of the movie and the special effects seemed real and very believable. Alice in the Wonderland definitely received a thumbs up for the special effects.
4. Iron Man 2: Without watching this movie yet, I could tell that the special effects and the big action sequences were well handled. It was flashy, the effects were impressive However, not a lot of people seemed to approve that the movie was a hit. “The appearance was good, but the plot was not as good as the first one,” says Urbana High School Junior, Erin Smith.
3. Toy Story 3: For Toy Story it always means feelings are the center of the story. I walked out of Toy Story 3 feeling as if my heart was too full, as if at any moment it would burst. Pixar has already given us two utterly perfect Toy Story movies, and yet this may be the best one yet.
2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: The movie was definitely the most satisfying Potter film. The film transported me into the story’s world and has me eager to experience the conflict that will shortly come to a boil.
1. Inception: “Inception is visually stunning, amusingly acted and richly layered. It’s a film that deserves immeasurable praise and multiple viewings. Christopher Nolan delivered a thoughtful, compelling, vividly woven film that may prove to be his opus”, said Hollywood Bites. There have been a lot of praises said of this movie. It almost sounds like it’s the best movie ever made in a long time! It’s definitely a must-see!
