2010 in Movies

So this may not be the most original kind of posting, but i find it necessary. This is my list of the past year in movies. Maybe not all new releases, but the ones that made an impression on me.

Inception
Obvious choice, I know. This movie blew everyones minds. What was so great was how unexpected it was. I made a point to avoid the trailer, and even the stuff that was released was super vague and mysterious, as I found out later. I had high expectations for Nolan's newest work, and they were so way exceeded.
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1
This one was really satisfying, as both a life long Potter fan and a film goer. The action was great, and even the performances (very lacking in previous entries) were fantastic. It showed some things not seen in the original story, and tweaked and added things to stuff that did happen. Both of these were actually really cool to see. The most different of the whole franchise, very lord of the rings.
Kick Ass
Another movie that took me by surprise. Currently watching it for the second time this week, showing my dad its epicness. I had no idea just how insane this movie was going to be. The action is probably some of the best and most engaging I have ever seen. When the guns start going and the fists start flying, its not in a typical action movie sort of way. This is not a car chase sort of action movie. I didn't even want to blink when I was watching this. Its clever, funny, and so much fun to watch.
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World
This movie is a geek's wet dream. The whole thing is shot like a video game/ comic book. The soundtrack was just delightful and obsessively listenable. I have never sat in a movie theater and just smiled in delight and anticipation for a whole movie. With this one, I so did. Even the opening credits were brilliant. I have seen it only once and I am really itching for another viewing. I can see this one being on heavy rotation in my dvd player.
The Social Network
Already did a posting about this, but I found this movie cool to see when I saw it because of the fact that was produced in the midst of the social networking craze.
more to come, trust me.
