Time has come for 2010 saying goodbye and you should have some choices for Best Films of 2010. Below is my year in review:
#10: Unstoppable (IMDB Rating: 7.1/10)
1,000,000 Tons. 100,000 Lives. 100 Minutes. Sounds thrilled? Indeed. At first I thought it’s another Taking back of Pelham 123 but this movie keeps surprising me again and again. Solid storyline with outstanding performance plus the beauty of American autumn one could not resist. I’m so in love with the convincing skill of Denzel Washington. Best thing: this movie is not trying to be great, as simple as it may sound, that crazy train is stoppable but it takes hell lot of courage and time.

#9: Toy Story 3 (IMDB Rating: 8.8/10)
Thank you Tom Hank, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack! It was your voice that touch me in Toy Story 3, bring back the good old days since .. well, I don’t know, … ever. Pixar did one amazing thing: produce a movie suits all ages, just another 90 perfect minutes. And I should mention the short firm “Day and Night” running right before Toy Story 3, what a fool and funny masterpiece ^^

#8: The Town (IMDB Rating: 7.8/10)
Just when I’m about to forget Ben Affleck, he’s back! He directed the movie, and he’s shinning on his own artwork. Brilliant character development and good emotional content, he made ‘The Town’ is more than just a shooting film with crazy guys run around robbing banks. Congrats Ben Affleck, you’ve earned it!
“I’m proud to be from Charlestown. It ruined my life, literally, but i’m proud.” – Charlestown Man.

#7: The Next Three Days (IMDB Rating: 7.4/10)
Surprisingly excellent movie to me and my friends when we went to see it. And you will be even more surprised to see what people are willing do for love as John, in particular – starring by Russell Crowe – did in just 3 days! No one is born hero, and he’s indeed an ordinary man who having only 1 thing in mind: believe. Little by little, more tense, more pressure, Russell tells you how he started his journey in the honest way you could find. When 2 hours is over, I realized the film is directed by Paul Haggis, father of ‘Crash’ (2005), I just took my hat off. Highly highly recommend to everyone ![]()

#6: 3 Idiots (IMDB Rating: 8.3/10)
Was it that special? No. Was it that good? Yes, really really good. I watched this one while catching a flight from Nepal to New Delhi. Flying over the Himalayas and seeing the Pangong Tso lake and Leh Ladakh area filmed in ’3 Idiots’ is amazing feeling, push me to rank this as one of my top favorite movie in year
Superb entertaining with hilarious moments, ’3 Idiots’ give you no time to rest but keep laughing and enjoying the scenes. If you are looking for a way to relax and free yourself, you can’t go wrong! All is well!

#5: Shutter Island (IMDB Rating: 8.0/10)
Martin-Leo they go together. From “The Departed” to “Shutter Island”, from good to great! Filled with flashbacks and haunting dream, the film constantly trapped you in a surreal world pending questions “Who is missing?” and “What’s the real world?”. If you are a fan of “The sixth sense”, “Silence of the lambs”, “Identity” or even if you aren’t, this is definitely a must. Just be prepared, it needs energy and serious attention while watching because of complex storyline and unpredictable turnout.

#4: Kick Ass (IMDB Rating: 8.1/10)
“I gotta send a public service message to the people out there that being a superhero is bad for your health.” Now I knew how bad it is after watching “Kick Ass”. The movie gave you the sense of justice via a teenager boy, an insane one! What a great mixture between high school style and Kill Bill style that will kick your ass
No power, no training, no problem, there comes no responsibility. Let’s just hope so!

#3: Aftershock (IMDB Rating: 7.5/10)
Rarest Asian movie that may rank up to top you will find this year! A family got separated as a result of the Great Tangshan Earthquake of 1976 and reunited after 30 years; how many 30 years one can have in life? This is not a disaster movie; it’s an emotional epic and beautiful movie that perfectly told you how people should have and have lived. Come in the cinema and walk out speechless with tears, I would thank Xiaogang Feng for this heart-rending story. It’s my #3 film.

#2: The Social Network (IMDB Rating: 8.2/10)
We all knew in time, there will be a movie about most popular social network today “Facebook”. We just don’t know it’s that good: a timeless story of friendship, loyalty, and betrayal. The best thing I like about this movie is not those big numbers or hot chicks, it’s the excellent dialogs, smartest ones make you feel engaged and inspired. Thank you David Fincher! I’m your fan since Se7en, Fight Club and now this!
“If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you’d have invented Facebook.” (Mark Zuckerberg)

#1: Inception (IMDB Rating: 9.0/10)
No one is surprised to see “Inception” rules all the boards in 2010. It’s truly one of a kind that hard to come by. Christopher Nolan had made an incredible movie with his talents. “Inception” has multi-layered plot together with multiple levels of action packed, all are well connected to build a fim that rewards intellect! Leonardo Dicaprio, you’ve outdone yourself by finishing the hardest job: stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state ^^
“Dreams feel real while we’re in them. It’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.” (Cobb)

“What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient… highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it’s almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed – fully understood – that sticks; right in there somewhere.” (Cobb)

“Don’t you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone!” (Saito)

The list ends here. Honorable mention: Iron Man 2, Brooklyn’s Finest, Green Zone, Agora, Despicable Me, The Expendables, Daybreakers.

So that’s mine, what’s yours?
