1. Hereafter (2010)

PG-13 | 129 min | Drama, Fantasy, Romance

56 Metascore

An American construction worker, a French journalist and a London school boy set out on a spiritual journey after death touches their lives in different ways.

Director: Clint Eastwood | Stars: Matt Damon, Cécile de France, Bryce Dallas Howard, Thierry Neuvic

Votes: 95,446 | Gross: $32.75M

To me this is definitely one of Mr. Eastwood's best projects. A subtle and brilliant film. 9/10

2. The Ghost Writer (2010)

PG-13 | 128 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery

77 Metascore

A ghost writer, hired to complete the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister, uncovers secrets that put his own life in jeopardy.

Director: Roman Polanski | Stars: Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Olivia Williams, Jon Bernthal

Votes: 170,751 | Gross: $15.54M

Polanski had quite a year, but hopefully Polanski's 2010 is most remembered for this film, rather than anything else. This is very relevant and masterful storytelling from one of the best directors on the planet. This film can seem a little slow at first, but it actually unfolds with great precision, and hits you with punches that you never see coming. This is truly great filmmaking. 9/10

3. Shutter Island (2010)

R | 138 min | Drama, Mystery, Thriller

63 Metascore

Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, two US marshals, are sent to an asylum on a remote island in order to investigate the disappearance of a patient, where Teddy uncovers a shocking truth about the place.

Director: Martin Scorsese | Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley

Votes: 1,453,854 | Gross: $128.01M

I had to rewatch the ending a second time to be exactly sure of what was being relayed via the beautiful art of filmmaking by the one and only, Martin Scorsese. I basically rushed home right after watching it in the theatre so I could rewatched the end again online. This is a brilliant and impactful story, especially when the end is fully understood. In fact the ending of the book is not nearly as good as what Scorsese does with the film. In the end this film becomes an amazing story of hope and compassion. However most people have not even seen or realised this deep aspect of Scorsese's storytelling in full scope.

**SPOILER** It becomes a story of hope and compassion because at the end when Andrew decides he can no longer live with himself, and begins to purposely regress back into Teddy, we feel strongly that he should not essentially kill himself (Get a lobotomy). We want Andrew to overcome his own demons, even though he feels he is a monster. Even though he is haunted by the war, even though he killed his own wife. Even though his kids were murdered by his wife, and even though he can't seem to stop losing his sense of reality and can be a real danger to others. We still want Teddy to go on, we still have hope that he can make something of his life again. We want him to get better, and so do all the doctors. This story delivers by far the most brilliant anti suicide theme that we could ever see or imagine on film. This whole film is a brilliant work of art. For those of you who totally missed this aspect of the ending, (Which is the vast percentage of you) in interviews Scorsese has confirmed this hopeful message I have talked about at the end of the film. In the end, quite obviously this film is about not giving up, no matter how horrific your experiences have been. Keep pushing forward, rather than continuing to hold on to your pain and fall back into confusing and negative emotions.

This film however is not just a hopeful piece. It is an incredibley well crafted film in every regard. Shutter Island could in fact be Scorsese's most underrated film yet. 8.5/10

4. Incendies (2010)

R | 131 min | Drama, Mystery, War

Director: John Curran | Stars: Edward Norton, Milla Jovovich, Robert De Niro, Frances Conroy

Many people find this film hard to relate to it seems; I however thought the film was quite brilliant. In my mind Angus MacLachlan is definitely an interesting screenwriter. 8.5/10

Episode: The Two Escobars (2010)

TV-G | 104 min | Documentary, Biography, History

Directors: Jeff Zimbalist, Michael Zimbalist | Stars: María Ester Escobar, Francisco Maturana, Alexis García V., Jaime Gaviria Gómez

Votes: 3,444

This film, 'The Two Escobars' has appeared in the ESPN 30 for 30 series, and is easily the best of all 30 Documentary films. It has also appeared on The Fabulous Picture Show TV series. I must say that it ranks as one of the very best films of the year in my view. Only a few other films are really as interesting AND as well told as this mind blowing story is. Do yourself a favor and find this film.

Director: Martin Campbell | Stars: Mel Gibson, Ray Winstone, Danny Huston, Bojana Novakovic

Votes: 98,952 | Gross: $43.31M

Well the media has buried Mel as much as they can but one thing remains true for me. I like Mel Gibson far more than I like modern day media, and I'd even trust him more than them as well. No matter what anyone says about Mel, Edge Of Darkness is a great thriller! This was the first role Mel took after an 8 year acting hiatus. Don't miss it!! 8/10

10. An Ecology of Mind (2010)

Director: Nora Bateson | Stars: Gregory Bateson, Nora Bateson, Gerry Brown, William Irwin Thompson

Votes: 109

A very important film in terms of how we perceive ourselves and our world. I think an even better docu on this brilliant man could yet be made. It is not just important that we view ourselves as part of an ecology, it is literally an absolute must if we are interested in life and in truth at all.

Director: Debra Granik | Stars: Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Garret Dillahunt, Isaiah Stone

Votes: 150,463 | Gross: $6.53M

A strong film told with tons of atmosphere. In some ways this reminded me of Kubrick films, and we need to be reminded of them as much as possible. :) 7.5/10

17. Kidnapped (2010)

Director: Christopher Nolan | Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Elliot Page, Ken Watanabe

Votes: 2,547,379 | Gross: $292.58M

Well, I didn't think it lived up to all the hype, but nonetheless it was still a pretty good film. I don't think the story came out quite the way Nolan had hoped, after working on it for so many years. In my view this is basically a combination of Vanilla Sky meets The Matrix, but really it ends up being less meaningful than both (A combination of the mystical waking dream and the matrix of consciousness). I do understand entirely what Nolan is trying to say and question with this film, it is undoubtedly his version of Edgar Allan Poe's A Dream Within A Dream, or the like. However I don't think the film really comes across this way as well as it should or was meant to.

Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow- You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep- while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

Edgar Allan Poe

Director: David O. Russell | Stars: Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Melissa Leo

Votes: 388,607 | Gross: $93.62M

Some billed this film as Rocky plus The Blindside. For me it definitely doesn't measure up to Rocky, but it still is a very solid film. I enjoyed it and it's definitely a film I could watch a few times. The main highlight of the film was its ability to weave in its gritty down to earth humor, along with the performance of Christian Bale. 7/10

21. Black Swan (2010)

R | 108 min | Drama, Thriller

Votes: 203,990 | Gross: $26.59M

Machete is a funny, over the top, no B.S. action film that weaves its way through a thought provoking story. This is definitely a pretty cool film by Robert Rodriguez. 7/10

Director: Gregor Jordan | Stars: Samuel L. Jackson, Carrie-Anne Moss, Michael Sheen, Stephen Root

Votes: 93,784

This film is great simply because it makes the viewer ask themselves important and tough questions.

If you are an open minded person, Unthinkable makes you think about things you definitely should ponder, even though you would probably rather not have to think about them.

This film essentially brings up the old adage that few things in this world are truly black and white, even though politicians, media, films, etc, usually like to pretend they are. We live in a complicated world of color where black and white makes grey. The truth or best options usually lie somewhere in the middle. Balance is truly the way of nature and those who are sane. These extremes of black and white thinking (Rights and wrongs) are as primitive as cave art. Yet still, this crap mentality is ingrained in humans across the world and still shoveled at us from countless sources, even though many of us know better.

The film as a whole goes a little over the top Hollywood (Rather than sticking to realism) in a couple of scenes. This is far, far from a perfect film, but it's tough questions alone make it well worth watching. 7/10

34. Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010)

Director: Floria Sigismondi | Stars: Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Michael Shannon, Stella Maeve

Votes: 50,922 | Gross: $3.57M

A pretty good film in its own right. However it's also fairly disappointing if you know much of the real history here. There is a good bit of fictional sensationalism and unnecessary glamorization which I could have done without. Nonetheless it's worth watching for sure if you're a rock or punk fan. 7/10

The film has many many jokes that don't really work, however it also has a few really hilarious moments. Nonetheless, the few hilarious moments, the good use of music in the film, as well as the interesting stats at the end make it well worth a watch. 6.5/10

Votes: 8,984

Definitely not every scene is even nearly effective in this film. However there are actually some very hilarious moments, and overall the positive messages of forgiveness, community and family are good. Not nearly as bad as the current IMDb rating of 5.7/10 in my view.

This film really is very stupid, and even to the point that much of it is quite frankly, pathetic. Nonetheless this silly film does create more than a few extremely hilarious parts. Enough to warrant a 6.5 out of 10 from me.
