Movies in 2010

The Dark Knight earned to a billion in 2008, and who cannot forget about 2009 with everyone talking about Avatar, from the great 3D visuals to the great vision by James Cameron to the amazing world of Pandora (seriously, I still do not understand the Avatar 'fever'). However, the year of 2010 is a whole new different playground for Hollywood movies, superstars do not really have any more starpower, Tom Cruise and Angelina Jolie. Much-hyped movies do not necessarily generate as much in the box-office. But I do know that one thing has have not change, is that people still do want to watch Robert Pattinson, Bella-Bella and the shirtless Jacob. Here are the ten (10) movies that I saw and are the best movies of 2010 (The movies do not go accordingly to order or alphabetical order):


1. Inception
Whoever who has watched Inception would asked over and over again the same question, "What is the ending of the story?" Everything about this movie is just flawless, from the talented and astounding casts, to the wonderful yet original script by Christopher Nolan, to a mesmerizing and excellent score by Hans Zimmer, to the that wonderful zero-gravity fight scene involving Joseph Gordon-Levitt (anyway who cannot forget about that scene). This film is labelled as Hollywood blockbuster yet with an entertaining and original story. This movie is really highly contagious, resillient.


2. The Social Network
Comparing with The Social Network and Inception, I still prefer The Social Network due to its' dialogue throughout the movie, to me it felt like it was natural rather than acting. The five minutes opening of the movie already is able to draw audiences' attention towards Mark and Elica's conversation. Jerk, traitor, smart, geek, emotionless, you may describe anything about Jesse Eisenberg's potrayal of Mark Zuckerberg, but he manages to deliver the lines with humour, sarcasm, facts while being truthful and witty. Definitely my pick for Best Actor for Jesse Eisenberg.


3. Toy Story 3
Best Animation of 2010, without a doubt. Pixar really has all the magical touch to this movie by combining happiness, despair, disappointment, neglectance and sadness to an animation. Woody, Buzz and the rest of the toys are back for the third and final time, and many has wonder whether Pixar are plain silly as it is a difficult task to upstage the two previous Toy Story films, but it did not disappoint any of us. The opening scene of Cowboy Woody chasing after One-Eye Bart and Dr. Evil Pork Chop, to being tortured by young kids in Sunnyside, to the Spanish Buzz, to the final touching scene where men dare to admit that they cried at the end of the movie ( I hereby admit that I cried twice after watching it twice). Brilliant and fantastic.
