Do you believe in heliocentricity? Well then, Happy New Year, you crazy sun-worshippers!
In the spirit of universe-defining observation, allow me to (ever so) humbly present my best-of list for the year. Some of these choices might be attacked, but like the Platos of yesteryear, the haters'll eventually come around.
10. UNSTOPPABLE
Did you think this wasn't going to make the list? C'mon, son.
9. PIRANHA 3D
Oh good Lord, the ridiculousness.
8. TOY STORY 3D
Pixar proves they can make anything amazing, even a film about mortality.
7. SPLICE
Beautifully warped.
6. BLACK SWAN
Darren Aronofsky proves he knows how to have fun.
5. EXIT THROUGH THE GIFTSHOP
The most fun you'll have at a documentary all year.
4. NEVER LET ME GO
Quiet sci-fi with a hell of an emotional gut-punch.
3. MARWENCOL
The finest documentary of the year.
2. INCEPTION
The zero-G fight is pure cinema.
1. THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Perfect.
The truth is, I didn't see a lot of films this year. That will change. But here's a quick list of things I missed this year that I have a sneaking suspicion might have made the list:
A PROPHET
WINNEBAGO MAN
GET LOW
CATFISH
HOWL
THE RED RIDING TRILOGY
Feel free to passionately disagree/talk about how Dren should have pheromones/snicker about Jerry O'Connell etc. below. In the meantime, I'll see you at the movies!
True Grit.
