Â 10 (joint) - The Town 10 (joint) - The Infidel 9 - Lebanon 8 - Inception 7 - Hunter Prey 6 - Valhalla Rising 5 - Monsters 4 - Machete 3 - Four Lions 2 - Black Swan 1 - Dogtooth. Â Here's the blog, but I'm not kidding. Take a week's worth of rations if you're going to attempt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Seven Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Questions pour Woyzeck: Â 1: Monsters-related: Â <-- click on 'spoiler' to show/hide the spoiler 1: Do you think she's definitely dead at the end? Â 2: Empire's review referred to "the year's funniest sex scene". Can't help but feel I missed this unless they meant the two aliens at the gas station which wasn't sex at all now was it? Â 3: She's like a cuter Maggie Grace dontcha think? Â [close spoiler] ");document.close();Â 2: No love for The Social Network? Â 3: What is that image in your blog banner from? I have seen it before.

Loki Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 My Top 10 is finally compiled. There are actually 11 films in it, thanks to a last minute entry. I'll link to the frankly monstrous blog entry with detailed reasoning after the list. 10 (joint) - The Town 10 (joint) - The Infidel 9 - Lebanon 8 - Inception 7 - Hunter Prey 6 - Valhalla Rising 5 - Monsters 4 - Machete 3 - Four Lions 2 - Black Swan 1 - Dogtooth.  Here's the blog, but I'm not kidding. Take a week's worth of rations if you're going to attempt it.  Fantastic. I've literally only seen one of those. That means a) you're nerdier than I am and b ) I have some films to track down.

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted December 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2010 Questions pour Woyzeck:  I don't know what the fuck is up with the spoiler tags, so forget them.  Monsters:  1 - Afraid so. I mean, we can tell ourselves otherwise, but that's definitely the intention of those scenes.  2 - That's a really weird quote. Funniest? I'd guess they probably mean the alien meeting, but that wasn't remotely comedic. There's the awkward bit the morning after the guy sleeps with that other women, but hardly the funniest sex scene of the year.  3 - A less cute Maggie Grace  Haven't seen Social Network yet. Shameful, really  The blog header is just an image I saw somewhere, can't remember where, and I don't know the story behind it. You often see the full thing floating around as a "WTF?" image on forums and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Edit: Never mind, you've fixed it. Â I really enjoyed Monsters, and I loved the ending, even without the callback. Just the abruptness of it and how unconventional it was. Â Bad Lieutenant counts for this year seeing as it was released in the UK and Ireland in 2010 right? Â Get on Social Network.

Paid Members Green Posted December 21, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted December 21, 2010 If I had to give a rough top ten, I'd say:  10. Winter's Bone 9. Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll 8. Jackass 3D 7. Inception 6. How To Train Your Dragon 5. Piranha 3D 4. Shutter Island 3. Toy Story 3 2. The Social Network 1. Scott Pilgrim Vs The World  I've yet to see Exit Through The Gift Shop or Splice and both of those looked great. Scott Pilgrim and The Social Network could easily swap places on second viewings.

Â I did a Black Swan and had that on my Top 10 for 2009, but yeah, probably. And I'll definitely see Social Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Seven Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm glad Kick-Ass didn't feature in your list. It's a horrible piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted December 21, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm glad Kick-Ass didn't feature in your list. It's a horrible piece of work. Â I go into that in the previous entry, and the comments. I quite liked it at the time, but in hindsight, it's a work particularly tainted by the political leanings of the director.

Paid Members Weezenal Posted December 22, 2010 Author Paid Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 I forgot to say. Burial was probably the most boring film of the year. I get they wanted it to be suspenseful and maybe a bit arty, but it was just a man in a box with a phone, trying to get out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted December 22, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm a little surprised at the love 'Scott Pilgrim' is getting. I missed it at the cinema but read the glowing reviews & sat down with great anticipation and was bitterly disappointed. I thought there were some nice touches & good visual ideas but it was like they thought one scene/set piece worked really well so they'd simply repeat it over & over. I was pretty bored by the end. My picks, in no order -  Shutter Island Inception The Social Network Toy Story 3 The Road Four Lions Bad Lieutenant  The Town was probably the film I felt like I missed out on the most. Top of my list to check out at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted December 22, 2010 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2010 I love the disparity between previews of the year's upcoming BIG films, and the year-end top 10 lists. Where art thou, Robin Hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
