Dahlia's Top 10 of 2010



Might seem shocking; but this year wasn't exactly a bumper crop of OMG moments at the movies, memorable mentions:

2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Grown up, mature, engaging coming of age with MAGIC!)

4. How to Train Your Dragon (watched it in 3D? You deserve your own Nightfury!)

Everything looks better with folded sleeves

1. The Social Network (Jesse Eisenberg for best actor, can't say it enough! *poke poke*)

3. Inception (For the most hyped and anticipated Nolan vehicle of the summer)

5. Heartbreaker (Vanessa Paradis... Funny, well scripted French rom-com)

Blue Valentine (Must watch. Pre-emptive strike because I'm smug like that..)

Somewhere (If SoFoCo is sleeping with Phoenix, you must expect some "So sentimental.. not sentimental..")

Jackass-3D (what could have been..)

Black Swan (girl on girl, plus a Winona comeback? WIN!)

Otherwise, 2010 was a tad disappointing.. Summer wut?

In other news: FAIL MOVIES OF 2010 aka how technology and Hollywood studios with mega budgets have raped us all.

In west Philly, born and raised..

The Karate Kid - I know the Smiths are whipping their hair and what not, but all because your parents are faymos, don't mean you got to have your face on the screen for 120 minutes to "Wax on, wax off" the hairs off a classic. RIP Mr Miyagi and his bonsai.

Clash of the Titans - It's like throwing kitchen utensils down a flight of stairs...and then falling down after them.. FAIL. <- I didn't watch, just wanna diss those who did... ahem ahem.

The Last Airbender - M Night is now a genre for FAIL movies. "What kind of movie is it?" "Oh, it's an M Night.. as in FAIL" <- I didn't watch, the Fail-dar is strong with me.

Sex and the City 2 - Lust fest for menopausal women everywhere, the designers who have died for this movie the year it was made... RIP Alexander McQueen.

Prince of Persia - Srsly? What was even RIGHT about this movie. Sir Ben Kingsley in eyeliner, anyone?

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief - Watched this after yoga, felt very angry after the movie. Took it out on a legless midget.

The Sorceror's Apprentice - Refer to earlier review. Even typing the title feels like a travesty.

Gonna save the motherf**king day Yeah!

The Expendables - If only time was expendable, then I can get back the life I lost watching this pubescent boy, NRA lobbyist, Lockheed Martin vehicle on steroids.

I am upset that I've watched more bad movies than good ones this year...

Here's to 2011!
