The Best of 2010

It was a really strong year for movies at the box office, at least in my mind. When putting together my yearly top 10, I found a number of films that equally deserved to be in the list, but didn’t make it. While there weren’t a lot of films that stood head and shoulders above the pack; there were some great films released this year.

Almost on the list were the “island” films like Shutter Island (Martin Scorsese delivers an intriguing film from early 2010 with great performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo) and City Island (The comedy about a different kind of family where everyone has their own quirks starring Andy Garcia).

The amazing animated offerings of 2010 included the spy comedy Despicable Me with the voice talents of Steve Carell; Tangled the story of Rapunzel with the voice talents of Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi and especially How to Train Your Dragon that surprised everyone with its beautifully animated film that caught everyone by surprise all got cut at the last minute.

Comedies like Hot Tub Time Machine (yes, it’s here, yes I’m a child of the 80s, what’s it to you); Greenberg featuring a really solid and different performance from Ben Stiller and Greta Gerwig and Please Give starring the amazingly talented Catherine Keener along with Oliver Platt and Amanda Peet all had different great qualities about them, and came close to making a statement.

Dramatic films, that are always on the list had near misses like Solitary Man with Michael Douglass delivering an amazing performance as a man living a truly solitary existence; Never Let Me Go looked at the world that could be with Carey Mulligan and sees it not as a very pleasant society; The Way Back from Director Peter Weir was an unflinching look at a journey through all environments by some very brave individuals and the soon to be released The Company Men which totally took me off-guard as a very real look at today and how real people exist on all levels of the economic spectrum that are affected by the downturn with Ben Affleck, Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner among others.

Documentaries are always one of my favorite groups of films, and it was a strong year for them! Exit Through the Gift Shop was a Banksy film that took a colorful look at street art and an even deeper look at what makes some “art lovers” tick; Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work showed a very real look at a show biz icon and her motivation and drive to keep going, and the education film Race to Nowhere taking a look at homework and the constant stress we place on our kids all touched a nerve with me but fell short.

There was even a horror film that almost made it, Let Me In was a remake, but it was done so well it was not to be forgotten.

And some of the very last films to fall off the list included the amazing Black Swan featuring a groundbreaking performance by Natalie Portman that earned her a Critics’ Choice Award Nomination and had many talking for days after seeing it; the incredible True Grit from The Coen Brothers that showed us we could do a very capable remake with truly talented actors (Jeff Bridges, Josh Brolin, Matt Damon) and a spectacular newcomer in Hailee Steinfeld, and the gut-wrenching Rabbit Hole that examines ground that no parent wants to take a look at with two immensely talented performers in Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart.

So what did make the list?

10. The King’s Speech (Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush)- Ok, so it has a very bad title. But it is a truly inspirational film about a man at a point in history and his determination to lead the nation. Colin Firth got a Critics’ Choice Award Nomination and should be in line to do the same with the Academy.

9. Easy A (Emma Stone) – My favorite comedy this year. It does a really solid job of showing the audience how today’s technology can influence all those around us, while making us all laugh. The performances are solid from top to bottom. (I would love to see a film with just Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson’s characters). Oh and did I mention Emma Stone is bound to be a star!

8. Waiting for Superman – It’s scary and real. This film examines our education system in a way like very few films have dared. It is heartbreaking to see kids that want to learn, being forced into systems that are bound to fail them because of the lock of a lottery. It is disturbing to see teachers who want to teach being held back and maybe even more so to hear of teachers who don’t care being kept on payrolls. Oh and John Legend’s song Shine over the end credits is magnificent.

7. Toy Story 3 (Tom Hanks, Tim Allen) – It’s been awhile since we saw Andy’s toys, but we flocked back to the theater to see them. A film that is as identifiable with children as with their parents who experienced it the first time around. This has a real heart and will emotionally grab even the toughest parent.

6. The Town (Ben Affleck, Jeremy Renner, Rebecca Hall) – I tried, time and again, to find a reason to not include this film on my list. But each time I thought of it, I liked it just a bit more. Ben Affleck as a directory takes us into the city that he knows and it shows. I always felt like I was there, watching as friends fought and crimes were committed, and that makes for a good film.

5. Restrepo - No documentary captivated me more this year than this film. We sit in our homes and watch reality programming on television thinking that is the best look at reality. Watching the news we see footage from war that doesn’t really tell the story except for what a reporter filters. When you watch this film, you see the real, unfiltered look at the human beings who put their lives on the line for our country. You see real bullets flying overhead. You see real emotion at the loss of life. You will see nothing this year quite like this film.

4. Winter’s Bone (Jennifer Lawrence) – This is a raw and gritty film with Jennifer Lawrence leading the way. I was amazed at how intently connected I was with the story of a woman fighting to take care of her family, while not being much beyond the age of a little girl.

3. Inception (Leonardo DiCaprio and Director Christopher Nolan) – A Mind-blowing Masterpiece, director Christopher Nolan takes an amazing environment and turns everything upside down, literally! The visuals are stunning throughout and the attention to detail will really turn movie viewing on its head. I was transported into this world that is within and when it ended, I didn’t want to leave.

2. The Social Network (Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield) – Facebook me! This film takes a look at our environment today. How did Facebook come to pass? Who is Mark Zuckerberg? And while the real Mark Zuckerberg takes some issue with what goes on in the film, it is an entertaining story told in an entertaining way.

1. The Fighter (Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale) – Nothing I saw this year quite compares to this film. From top to bottom it is filled with great acting. Mark Wahlberg is the driver as Mickey Ward, and yet no one talks about him when they talk about this film…that’s because he surrounded himself with some of the best performers working. Christian Bale deserves all the credit in the world as Mickey’s brother, and Amy Adams and Melissa Leo show us how strong women’s performances CAN be if given the right opportunity and the right role. Sure I was a fight fan before I saw this film, Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti’s fights are legendary in my mind, but I didn’t know the story behind Ward, and this film just delivers from the opening bell.

Home Screening Room -- Ending the year with The American

I thought I'd give you some bonus trailers to end the year....so here it is, the final 2010 installment of the Home Screening Room

Just From Theaters

The American (R) George Clooney, Irina Bjorklund
Although the first 10 minutes of this film is action packed, this is a character study more than anything. Solid and extremely compelling work from one of America’s best actors.

Resident Evil: Afterlife (R) Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter
More of Alice, more of the walking dead, more of the Umbrella Corporation.

Also new this week…

And Soon The Darkness (R) Amber Heard, Odette Yustman


Legacy (R) Idris Elba, Eamonn Walker




Twelve (R) Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts




The United States of Tara: The Second Season

Pick of the Week
The American is just too good to pass up. The Clooney character study film works on so many levels.
Thanks!

Review - Little Fockers

WTF? Little Fockers Lacks the Little Laughs

Meet the Parents was a nice little film that was not only funny, but it also uniquely told the story of a man meeting his in-laws and struggling to fit in. Meet the Fockers had us meeting the other side of the family and the quirks they possessed. Little Fockers has kids, fraternal twins that are supposed to be the basis for the humor. A problem occurs though, they forgot the humor.

Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) is coming to Greg and Pam’s (Ben Stiller and Terri Polo) house to celebrate the 6th birthday of their two children, and yes he is still watching them. Things have change though…Dr. Bob is splitting from his wife (an affair) Kevin (Owen Wilson) is half way around the world looking to get engaged. And the Fockers (Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman) are apart as Bernie tries to find himself while Roz hosts her sex therapy show.

As Greg is trying to do the best for his family, he takes on a night job as a spokesman for Sustengo (the new erectile dysfunction drug) with his drug rep Andi Garcia (Jessica Alba). So who is watching who, and why, and will this birthday party happen?

This is a hard review to write. Why? I like everyone in this film. In many instances, they have put out a range of films that have generated every emotion within me. But this film had such little emotion that I had to check my pulse when I left.

Sure there are some scenes in here that gave me a chuckle, but there were so many more that felt miserable. It felt miserable all over. I felt bad for the actors. I felt bad for the individual sitting next to me and I felt real uncomfortable for those who mistakenly brought young children to the film.

The movie was supposed to be about the “little” Fockers…but they had what seemed to be small roles in a much bigger movie, so that’s kind of a misnomer.

This film just didn’t work on so many levels. I really don’t want to trash these good people, so I’m not going to. It’s the Christmas season and I will just say, don’t see it. Rent Meet the Parents or buy Meet the Fockers instead either will be a much better selection. Otherwise you may just resort to texting a friend WTF on your way out of the theater.

Review - TRON: Legacy

TRON Finds Itself Stuck Inside The Game

In the years since the original Tron, things have changed. Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) has been missing for 20 years, and his son Sam (Garrett Hedlund) longs for the dad who told him stories or his legendary accomplishments. Sam has a mind of his own and marches to the beat of his own drummer. He has seen his dad’s company become solely interested in profits, with no regard for customers.

But when a mysterious page is received, yes I said page, Sam goes to investigate his dad’s office at the arcade. There he finds many mothballs, lots of vintage games, and his father’s office the way he left it. When Sam examines things a bit closer, he soon finds himself inside the programs that have been his father’s home.

Now Sam must join forces with his Father and find a way out of this world. His father has created so many of the programs around him, and some help, while others do not. Quorra (Olivia Wilde) is a program that is viciously loyal to her creator. She’ll do everything she can to protect Kevin and his son. But the other member of this equation is Clu, the younger version of Kevin who was with him and wanted to help him create the perfect environment. Who will reign victorious? Can Sam and his Father exit the game and continue with life?

This is a really tough film to talk about. I wanted this to be an amazing experience. I wanted to love every aspect of this go around with Tron. I wanted to walk out and tell my friends, get your tickets now. Unfortunately, none of what I wanted became reality.

While it was fun to see they “younger” Bridges, the sexy Olivia Wilde, the charismatic Michael Sheen and more, it just wasn’t enough. The action sequences were exciting when they were happening, there were too few occurrences in this slightly over 2 hour long film. Instead of keeping the pace hoping, there were many places where the film tried to get overly philosophical and dragged endlessly.

Tron isn’t awful; I guess I just expected more. Instead of breaking outside of the realm that contains it; TRON: Legacy finds itself stuck inside the game.

C / C-

TRON: Legacy
Walt Disney Pictures

Director: Joseph Kosinski
Cast: Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, Michael Sheen, Bruce Boxleitner

Rating: PG for sequences of sci-fi action violence and brief mild language.
Runtime: 127 minutes.

Review - How Do You Know

It’s Hard To Know

Lisa (Reese Witherspoon) is a motivated and driven woman. She is a professional softball player that has a past with the US Olympic team. This year is different. The team is going younger and Lisa isn’t as quick or as strong as the youth movement the new coach is moving towards.

She is dating Matty (Owen Wilson). He is a hot pitcher for the Washington Nationals and knows what he wants. What he wants is Lisa, oh and he knows how to relate that fact, even if he doesn’t have an ounce of tact in his system.

This is all complicated a man named George (Paul Rudd). He’s an executive that is about to be indicted. Though he’s done nothing wrong, it’s the company his father has put him in charge of that is in trouble. It could be that his father (Jack Nicholson) has some involvement in the problems, or it could be he knows nothing.

Different individuals with different paths all searching for the answer to the question; how do you know?

Director James L. Brooks has made us laugh for years with a real life backdrop. Even his “bad” films that others dislike, I have tended to enjoy. How Do You Know is a tough film as it seems to have lost some of the regular sensibilities that you are used to finding.

Reese Witherspoon is likable, and I found myself coming away from this film with even more of an appreciation for everything she does. She plays a woman who is motivated and driven, using motivational words, phrases and techniques. Her ability to slip into her role as a champion softball player, with party side is amazingly fun.

Co-star Paul Rudd is perfectly cast as the nice guy who is caught in the middle of things. It’s a role he has gotten used to, and does it well. Owen Wilson gets to take his Fockers character and add a bit of attitude to it to create Matty. Sometimes it felt that it just wasn’t real enough. I almost wanted a bit more attitude out of his character, but you couldn’t help but “like” him and see the side that Lisa saw in him.

I know there were a number of laughs in this film. I know I like Reese Witherspoon more than I did before I saw this film. But ultimately, did I like this movie? It’s hard to know.

B- / C+

How Do You Know
Columbia Pictures

Director: James L. Brooks
Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson

Rating: PG-13 for sexual content and some strong language.
Runtime: 116 minutes.

Review - Yogi Bear

Yogi Is Still Smarter Than The Average Bear

Yogi Bear (Dan Aykroyd) has been stealing pic-i-nic baskets for what seems like a lifetime. Depending on who you ask, it either has helped or hurt the attendance at Jellystone Park. All this of course is taking place with his trusty companion Boo Boo (Justin Timberlake) by his side every step of the way. Ranger Smith (Tom Cavanagh) tries to fight back, but alas the likable Yogi has a mind of his own, and he is a hungry bear.

Jellystone Park is filled with interesting situations. Mayor Brown (Andrew Daly) is trying to sell the logging rights to the historic park in an attempt to relieve a massive budget deficit. Rachel (Anna Faris) is a documentary filmmaker who has come to the park to shoot footage of this “bear that talks”. And Ranger Jones (TJ Miller) is dying to take over the park, and the off road vehicle that the head ranger uses.

As the Mayor unleashes his scheme, it will take everyone to save Jellystone from the treeless future that is envisioned. Will Ranger Smith be able to work with Yogi, instead of against him? Will they be able to save Jellystone?

This film, much like the past releases of The Chipmunks and Garfield reminds me of a movie that is past its prime. Had this movie been release 20 years ago, it may have had more of a chance to connect with the audience. As it is, it feels a little tired.

Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake do admirable jobs at the voice work of these two iconic characters. The animation is smooth and easy to look at. When seen in 3D, they actually make the 3D feel alive and bring you in as part of the movie. Unfortunately for them, the folks that want to feel this immersion are the youngest that can’t by tickets themselves.

There are moments of lighthearted fun, but unfortunately there are too few of them. At only 80 minutes in length, even if you don’t like the film it will be over soon. Yogi is still “smarter than the average bear” but the average moviegoer, even the young ones, are smarter than Yogi.
