It seems such a long time ago that I regularly posted to Filmworm... and it has been but fear not, the Worm is back on the case. I hope you find my 2010 round up of cinema viewings interesting?
I'm really looking forward to 2011 and the films it may bring. At the moment I'm particularly looking forward to the Coen brothers re-make of 'True Grit' and Mr Firth's 'The King's Speech'. I'm all excited about them.
What the rest of the year brings, I have no idea. I try to avoid previews and 'coming soon' info on films just to keep things as fresh as possible. We seem to be so heavily advertised to nowadays that it is difficult to avoid all the adverts and media promotion. Nevertheless, I am committed to going to the flicks on a regular basis and sampling the various wares of those clever and artistic bods in the film industry have to offer.
I hope you have an excellent 2011 film year! Enjoy.

2010 Film Round-Up
2010 Films
January (2nd, 10th, 20th & 27th)
Sherlock Holmes ~~~
Entertaining, beautifully filmed & engaging re-imagining. Downey Jr & Law brilliant.
Day Breakers ~~
Passable, exciting vampire flick.
Up in the Air ~~
Charming & funny. A little predictable. Good cast. Quite fun.
Book of Eli ~~~
Interesting & novel thriller/journey movie. Excellent twist/non-twist for the smart!
February (10th)
The Wolfman ~
Dire.
March (3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th)
The Crazies ~~
Fun re-make. The Crazies are in town.
Green Zone ~~~
Slightly ropey but solid WMD thriller. Bourne at war. Hello to Jason Isaacs. And ‘tash.
I Love You Philip Morris ~~
Interesting if slightly bonkers comedy-drama. Bit too OTT. Carey good, McGregor bad.
A Single Man ~~~~
Wonderful, touching, beautiful Colin Firth drama. Darkly comic yet heartbreakingly human.
April (1st, 13th & 28th)
Shutter Island ~~~~
Excellent Scorsese flick. DiCaprio & Ruffalo are brilliant. Old school magic thriller.
Kick Ass ~~~
Fun, ass-kicking joy. Good script, nice story, well acted.
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ~~~~
Excellent thriller. Great lead. About time women had a great anti-heroine on screen.
May (19th & 26th)
Robin Hood ~
Despite Crowe & Blanchett starring, just rubbish.
Four Lions ~~~~
Engaging, fun, dark. Best of British. A must see. ‘Rubber dingy rapids’, anyone?
June (2nd)
4.3.2.1. ~~
Good attempt at a ‘yoof’ thriller/drama. Engaging but flawed. Good female roles.
July (7th, 18th & 21st)
Get Him to the Greek ~~
Vomit jokes always work for me. Just enough to keep me engaged. Silly but fun.
Inception ~~~~
Excellent action/thriller. Is it as mind-bending as advertised? Nolan rocks!
Predators ~
Dumb-ass re-imagining of the old Predator chestnut. Silly. Blood & bombs. Yey!
August (11th & 25th)
Toy Story 3D ~~
Sappy, nostalgic cash-in. Sloppy story but good animation. 3D unnecessary.
Piranha 3D ~~
Fun but pedestrian comedy/horror. Too many boobs.
September (8th, 15th & 29th)
Scott Pilgrim ~~~
Fun & beautiful if a little baggy. Nice world if you like the ‘indie’ way of life.
Resident Evil 3D ~~
Daft but passable action/horror. Series 4th & better than RE3, not as good as 1 or 2.
Buried ~~~
Interesting premise. Well executed. Man in a box. Ryan Reynolds does a good job.
October (6th & 27th)
Made in Dagenham ~~~~
Excellent, must-see for EVERYONE! Brilliant story & historically important.
Social Network ~~~
Slightly over-rated but interesting story of how Facebook got started. Lonely boys get drunk & do things...
November (10th, 17th & 24th)
Due Date ~~
Passable ‘Planes, Trains & Automobiles’-lite.
The Kids are All Right ~~~~
Very entertaining and engaging family comedy-drama. Excellent cast.
London Boulevard ~~
Gangsteresque drama. Classily executed, unlike how some of the characters are dispatched!
December (1st & 15th)
The American ~~~
Extremely slow paced but interesting man-on-the-run drama. Rather baggy modern western.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 ~~~~
Best yet.
