2010 Movies That I've Seen

These vampires don't glitter.

Big disappointment, soundtrack wishes it was from a Fletch movie.

Scorsese is awesome, as always. Story leaves a lot to be desired though.

Mostly forgettable remake of a mostly forgettable movie.

Surprisingly good.

I suppose you could say it's a bit unfocused, but it worked well for me.

Lame sequel-setup ending detracts from what would otherwise be pretty entertaining trash.

Was expecting it to be a lot worse than it actually is. Surprisingly restrained and a decent watch, but ultimately it relies too much on its shocking premise.

I liked the first movie a lot, but not as much as everyone else. This sequel is absolute trash.

Starts off promisingly enough and it looks great, but eventually derails and never really gets back on track. Obvious ending that attempts to shock, but ultimately produced a yawn.

Way more fun than I was expecting. Exactly what I want out of a summer movie.

Not as funny as I hoped and it goes a bit too far in trying to establish deeper meanings, but it was entertaining enough. Standout performance by Sean Combs (or whatever he calls himself these days).

Sublime.

See comments for The A-Team. Better than expected.

A fine nod to the original, but ultimately not that special. Still, fun summer popcorn fare.

Brilliant - one of the best of the year.

Not as good as the first, but solid thriller/mystery here.

I'm not really a fan of wahjah humor, so I didn't love this, but it's solid off-beat fare.

Awesome. Captures that sensawunda feeling really well. Certainly a contender for best of the year.

Well made and executed, but too didactic and preachy. Could have been really great in another context.

See Knight and Day and A-Team comments. Solid popcorn fare.

Not as funny as I hoped, but these types of movies always seem to get funnier when you see them again and again. Once it gets to HBO, I'm sure I'll like it more. Bonus points for TLC references.

Great stuff. Perhaps a bit rushed and maybe some of the relationships aren't as fleshed out as they could have been, but still a wonderful movie (and funniest of the year so far).

Meh. Some things I liked, but ultimately a pointless movie. On the other hand, that's kinda the point. Exceptional underwater sequence set to classical music.

Dumb fun. Nothing special.

Sometimes long movies fly by without you realizing it, but A Prophet does not. It's 2.5 hours and it feels like it. This isn't really a bad thing - it's an excellent movie.

Not entirely sure this needed to be made, but it's a whole lot of grindhouse-erific fun.

A promising start, but rather than build on that, the tension evaporates as the film slowly grinds its way to an unsurprising conclusion. Poorly paced and not much to it...

Paul W.S. Anderson continues to inform us that his wife is really, really hot. This time in 3d.

Surprisingly solid film. Not going to win awards or anything, but if Affleck can continue to make these kinds of movies, I'll be happy.

Standout segment on Sumo wrestling, but otherwise a bit muddled. Would probably make a good book (wait a tick!)

Went into this completely blind. Thought it was really interesting, but I'm not sure how "real" it is. It probably doesn't matter though.

Was not excited for this, but I loved it. I shouldn't be surprised, given the talent involved, but here we are.

It's a little too slick and redundant for its own good, but it's not devoid of value and there's something about the premise that just gets under my skin.

As this series has progressed, it's gotten more disgusting and mean-spirited, but the magic is still there.

Solid, entertaining popcorn fare.

Mixed feelings. Solid concept, but the mumblecore improvised dialogue kinda left the characters flat, which is bad considering the characters were the focus (as opposed to the Monsters)

A diverting and fun enough watch, but nothing super special.

It's not a train, it's a missile the size of the Chrystler building. (I liked it more than I thought I would.)

A bit repetitive, but still satisfying, even if I kinda knew where it was going.

A little too long and slowly paced, but otherwise fantastic performances and a very real drama that doesn't hit you over the head with despair the way a lot of films like this would...

Breathtakingly stupid. Almost worth it for the ridiculous ending. Also, the Brothers Strause seem to have quite a thing for torturing pregnant women.

A little repetitive, but an interesting look at how the worst rated movie of all time gained a cult following. Also a bit repetitive.

Solid and entertaining enough, but I can't really shake the feeling of filmmakers simply going through the motions. This might be due to the unnecessary splitting of the film into two parts...

Reasonably well done, but I find it hard to focus due to Polanski's offscreen shenanigans (i.e. child rape).

Cliched, but not entirely devoid of interest. Plus, nudity.

Surprisingly energetic, a great sense of location and scale, a good performance, and human optimism anchor this film. Not flawless (in particular, a bit too much in the way of flashback/hallucination), but given the difficult subject matter, it's great.

Ostensibly about an urban legend, this doc ends up focusing on a series of child disappearances and the man the community pinned the blame on. Reminds me a bit of Errol Morris' docs, but then, that's a bad thing because most of what Morris does is better than this...

Very slickly produced documentary about Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan and his Arizona winery. There are a few small missteps, but otherwise fantastic.

Surprised how much I didn't hate this.
