Love It: The Year’s Best Movies in Review
2010 was a fantastic year for films, and Oscar winner The Kings Speech was not even the best film. That honor would go to Winter’s Bone.
Winter’s Bone, starring Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence, is an unforgettable noir style thriller set in the Ozarks. Lawrence was not the only Oscar nominee, as John Hawkes also picked up a nod for his unforgettable performance as the sadistic Teardrop.
A close runner up for best picture would be Toy Story 3. Nobody does animated films better than Pixar, and the company is at its best with the final installment of the very popular Toy Story franchise.
Chris Nolan brought the very trippy Inception to the big screen, and it delivered. Leo Decaprio headed an amazing cast, and the movie sparked many debates about what was real in the film and what was a dream.
True Grit, the Cohen brother’s remake of the John Wayne classic, was also a delight. Jeff Daniels earned his second straight best actor nomination, and 15 year old Hailee Steinfeld was also a stand out in the lead role.
Kick Ass was a very funny take on the Super Hero film and was a must see for any comic book fan.
