BISS Awards: Best Movie 2010

2010: Best Films
Summed up in one sentence. Or at least attempted to.

May Contain Spoilers. But then again maybe not.
You have been warned. So don't complain either way.
Trailers included to entice you. I am not paid by anyone. Wish I was though.

10. Tamara Drewe
This film has a bit of everything: comedy, country bumpkin lifestyle, rockstars, Gemma Arterton in very short shorts and a genuinely shocking twist in the plot.



9. Despicable Me
I didn't expect much from this film, but it turned out to be very touching and funny.



8. Get Him To The Greek
Russell Brand is actually a very talented actor - who knew?



7. Inception
It annoys me that this film was made out to be really complicated and yet it made complete sense to me. I am weird like that.



6. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
I am a little bit ashamed of myself.



5. Buried
Ryan Reynolds on screen for 95 minutes? Yes please!



4. Kick Ass
You feel like the coolest person in the world while watching this film.



3. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part One
I was going to see it twice in one week, until my day turned into a complete disaster. This is no fault of Warner Brothers.



2. Scott Pilgrim vs The World
You feel like the nerdiest person in the world while watching this film. But in a good way.



1. Toy Story 3
No explanation needed.

Top Five: Film Excitement for 2010

5. Valentines Day
I am quite a fan of the ensemble rom-com, although there are a fair few shocking ones. I think it is mostly to do with having the opportunity to see a number of familiar faces and favourites all in one film. Valentine's Day almost reads like a 'whos who' of rom-com movers and shakers, boasting the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Queen Latifah, Taylor Lautner and many other attractive, wholesome American types.. It is also amuses me that there were, at one point anyway, lots of presumably tweenage girls commenting on the youtube trailer that they could not see Joe Jonas. According to Wikipedia, he plays the voice of a dog. This is probably only amusing to me.



4. Prince Of Persia: Sands of Time
I like action movies. I like watching Jake Gyllenhaal movies. I am a little unconvinced of Gemma Arterton's acting abilities, but she's not bad to look at either. Sounds like an hour and a half of easy viewing to me. I don't have sophisticated tastes.


3. Iron Man 2
I loves superhero movies. RDJ is the man. The trailer looks pretty damn awesome. If it wasn't for a pack of werewolves and a cowboy, this would so be number one.



2. Toy Story 3
Toy Story is back. Hurrah! I am a HUGE fan of Pixar movies, and am always glad when there is a new chance to delve into the world of one of the best movie studios in the world. But I am even more excited than usual about the return of the Toy Story world. The original movie was pretty life changing at the time. This might sound like an exaggeration, but I imagine it was similar to the first time audiences viewed film and television in technicolour. Not much is known about the plot yet, but Pixar have yet to release a flop. I hope this third installment doesn't let me down. To infinity and beyond!


1. Twilight Saga: Eclipse
I almost feel quite ashamed of myself. But I really want to know what happens the next. Okay, that sounds silly. I have read the books, so I know what actually happens next, but I want to see it on the big screen. There is this little, and overly optimistic, part of my brain which hopes the movies ignore what happens in the books and changes Bella's decision. But I fear David Slade, the movies director, may actually get lynched for that. And no-one deserves to die at the hand of Pattinson addicts. Team Jacob all the way! There currently isn't a trailer yet though, so I can't show you one. Sorry.

P.S. I also am rather excited about Jackass 3D. This is for my inner-thirteen year old boy. He gets mentioned as the excuse for all my immature humour.
