Title: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Dave Gray on January 17, 2011, 02:04:13 am I'm talking specifically of the Oscar probables. I'm trying to see as many as I can this year.
Here's what I've seen, so far: The King's Speech Inception True Grit The Social Network Black Swan Toy Story 3 Scott Pilgrim vs. the World The Kids Are All Right I still need to see: The Fighter 127 Hours I've just added some new reviews to my other site: www.whatwouldjesusview.com What have you seen? What do you still want to see? Do you have any predictions or hopefuls? Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Frimp on January 17, 2011, 09:15:05 am lol...I must be really lame. I have yet to see any of those movies.
Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Sunstroke on January 17, 2011, 09:18:45 am When they hit HBO/Showtime, I'll be more than happy to watch some of these movies. The King's Speech, Black Swan and The Social Network would be at the top of my "gotta see it" list. Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: fyo on January 17, 2011, 09:51:02 am Like Frimp, I haven't seen a single one of those movies :(
Nor have I seen Alice in Wonderland, Iron Man 2, the new Harry Potter, Despicable Me, the new Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, or Tangled. (Those were the "missing" top-10 grossing 2010 movies according to boxofficemojo.com.) In fact, looking over the top 50, I've only seen Salt and The Sorcerer's Apprentice. 2010 was not a good movie year for me. Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Phishfan on January 17, 2011, 10:09:55 am I'm like Stroke. I love the original programming on cable and since I pay for the channels, I'll wait for the movies to come on there.
Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: bsfins on January 17, 2011, 12:26:40 pm Add me to the list that hasn't seen any of Dave's list...and actually only one on the list I want to see....Black Swan...The rest look like very shippable (I've not really seen the first 2 the Toy Story films)
On Fyo's list I've seen a couple....Alice in Wonderland,Iron Man 2,the last Shrek,and How to train your Dragon...Alice was about as I expected with Johnny Depp,and Tim Burton....Iron man,a lot like Alice in Wonderland...after you get over the special effects/look of it...I was kind of bored.... Most of them also tend to fit in the over hyped type movies...I hear too much about them,by the time I see them,I'm not impressed.... Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Dave Gray on January 17, 2011, 12:34:10 pm I'm surprised none of you have seen Inception. That was a really big movie (and a good one).
Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Buddhagirl on January 17, 2011, 12:47:24 pm I've seen none of these movies. I only watch stuff on Netflix.
Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Dave Gray on January 17, 2011, 12:48:40 pm Buddah, I saw a movie on Netflix (watch instantly) that you'd probably like. It's called "Exit Through the Gift Shop". It's a documentary about street art.
Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Pappy13 on January 17, 2011, 01:48:01 pm I've seen Inception, Tangled, Alice and Iron Man 2. My vote would go to Iron Man 2, but that's just me. All of these movies I thought were decent to good and Tangled was better than I had anticipated, I only went to take my grandkids and really enjoyed the movie. I also like Alice quite a bit, but I'm a Johnny Depp fan. I think you kinda gotta like him to like that movie.

It's called "Exit Through the Gift Shop". It's a documentary about street art. I almost watched that this weekend but watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo instead. (It sucked ass and I wanted my 2.5 hours back.) I'll watch Exit Through the Gift Shop this week. Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Frimp on January 17, 2011, 01:57:15 pm I'm like Stroke.

True...And he fact that I haven't rented any of last movies from Blockbuster could have something to do with that. I watch HBO, Showtime and Starz. To be honest, I'm more excited about the return of Spartacus, Dexter, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, etc than I am about any movies out right now. Inception just looked a little hokey to me. I'm interested, but not THAT interested. Plus, I heard them talking about 'Mindcrimes' and as a lifelong Queensryche fan, I'm a little leery of its originality. Not that I think that they ripped off anything from Operation: Mindcrime. I just think they could have come up with a more original term for their feature. Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Dave Gray on January 17, 2011, 01:58:10 pm It's not even that I think Exit Through the Gift Shop is such a great film, but it was interesting to learn about that kind of art. Also, when you're watching a movie made by someone who primarily fucks with people for a living, you don't know if you're getting fucked with.

It's sitting in my queue.

After the choices for the Golden Globes it is hard to know what the hell Hollywood will do. I cannot believe the Social Network is a serious contender for best picture. It had no appeal to me at all. Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: Dave Gray on January 17, 2011, 03:50:48 pm I cannot believe the Social Network is a serious contender for best picture. It had no appeal to me at all. Have you seen it? It was great. It was right up there with Black Swan as my film of the year. Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: StL FinFan on January 17, 2011, 04:43:07 pm The whole concept of The Social Network does not appeal to me. That being said, I will probably watch it at some point as I keep hearing how good it is.
Title: Re: Movies of the Year 2010 Post by: bsmooth on January 17, 2011, 09:46:20 pm I forgot to add I think Bale gets best supporting actor. He was outstanding.
