Films 2010

2010 was a relatively poor year for film viewing for me. A yearly total of 69 is only 0.19 movies a day, or 5.2 days between movies. That is terrible by anyone’s standards, and down from 104 last year (though it does beat 2001’s 61, but I suspect records were somewhat incomplete for that year). My only excuse is the arrival of our son in June, which slowed things down for a couple of months. The list is as follows:

31/12/2010 Back To The Future Part II

Highlights at the cinema were:

• Inception – Absolutely tremendous, and one of only two films were managed to see at the cinema post-birth. It had to been seen on the big screen.
• Iron Man 2 – Yup, it’s big and loud, but I enjoy RDJ, so it had me hooked. The in utero child didn’t care too much for the volume, though, if the kicks were anything to go by.
• Sherlock Holmes – Again, mainly for RDJ. Love that cat.

• Up – A nearly perfect flick, and had me choked up like a good ‘un within the first 10 minutes.
• District 9 – Not quite as overtly political as I expected, and all the better for it.
• Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs – Probably the best non-Pixar animation I’ve seen in, well, ever.
• Hitch – Just kidding. It was shite.
