Belated 2010 Favorites Part 3

And for the finale, I'll take a look at my favorite movies of 2010.  I didn't see a whole lot this year, but there were certainly a few that I enjoyed.

Inception
This is on everyone's list, right?  If you haven't seen it, do it.  I didn't dig it quite as much as the general populous, but I definitely think it's worth a viewing.  Christopher Nolan is my favorite director and Leo is fast becoming my favorite actor.  It's a great combination and one of the most beloved movies of 2010.

Shutter Island
More Leo.  Originally set for a 2009 release, it got pushed back to February of 2010.  It's really a great character piece here with fantastic acting.  I'm a fan of the movie up until the final 15 minutes.  I thought the ending was a sort of cop-out, but I know there are plenty of people out there that loved the twist.  If you're looking for a thriller that doesn't make you jump, then check it out.

Jackass 3D
You already know if you'll like this movie or not.  If you have no desire to see anything with Knoxville and his posse, then this movie won't turn you.  But if you're a fan of their previous "work" and maybe were getting tired of it, this is just the movie that will get you amped for more shenanigans. I was crying from laughing so hard.  It's literally non-stop.  Literally.

Machete
This is another one that you'll know whether or not you'll like it before you even step into the theatre.  It's capitalizing on the exploitation genre that's seemed to come back since Grindhouse hit a few years back.  The cameos really set this movie well past my expectations and I'll always remember that, "Machete doesn't text."

Toy Story 3
Simply delightful.  I heard from many people that they were crying or almost crying at the end of it and knowing that, I thought that I'd be prepared and wouldn't be too affected emotionally.  Turns out I almost cried regardless.  It wasn't the last scene that got me, but the one right before it.  The maturity that Pixar delivers to their audience is second-to-none and I give them all the credit in the world for not talking down to kids like so many other studios do.

Notable Mention: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Still Need to See: Black Swan, True Grit, The Fighter, Piranha 3D

BigGuyHats - Jon and Mary in the Morning gave you a chance to win one of these bad boys this morning and you've probably seen them around Lambeau or on TV but just didn't know where they came from.  Well, now you know!  This is a local guy who makes amazing hats for every occasion, not the least of which is Green Bay Packers football!
