V+V Remembers 2010: Movies we weren’t pissed off after spending $10 to see

Nemo:

Jack Burden:

Fair Game (Valerie Plame): The one benefit we got from the sheer indecency, self centered act of leaking a spy’s identity was a fucking cool story about a real life spy.

The Ghost of Hemingway’s Gun:

I honestly don’t think I went to the movies this year, once.

Lady Blaga:

Fair Game
The Social Network
The Kids Are Alright
Toy Story 3

Poplicola:

The Social Network
Black Swan
Inception

If you had told me last year that my favorite movie of the year would be about Facebook, I would spit my whiskey comically. If you had told me it would be screen-written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by David Fincher, I’d find it slightly more believable. If you had told me that I’d describe a Aronofsky movie as “beautiful” but “in the end, overwrought and disappointingly predictable”— well, that would be the opposite of an Aronofsky movie! and I’d laugh. But it was still really good!

And, I know, but it’s been months since you saw Inception. But, c’mon, wasn’t it kind of bad ass?!
