Half Year Review of 2010 Films

I wanted to get this out before 'Inception' bows this week. And June 30th has indeed come and gone..So i give you the best and worst of 2010 so far. Granted there has been slim pickings, more bad than good but indulge me with these highs and lows so far.

Best Picture and Director: 'Shutter Island' and Martin Scorsese


a tense thriller with a damn good unexpected ending

Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Shutter Island'


always good leo never seemingly never disappoints.

Best Actress: Vanessa Redgrave in 'Letters to Juliet'


vanessa may have a supporting role but to date it's the best actress role of all

Worst Picture and Director and Actor and Actress: all the honors go to 'The Ghost Writer': Roman Polanski, Pierce Brosnan and Kim Cattrall. I've generally enjoyed Mr.Brosnan but he called this one in. And Mr. Polanski has always been one of my favorite directors but this is a half assed mess. And what the hell were you thinking with Miss Cattrall? Anne Hathaway you may want to thank Miss Cattrall that you are off the proverbial hook. Your white queen in 'Alice in Wonderland' was a contender. Then I considered that you were playing a cartoon. And you are a cartoon. So it would be wrong, just wrong, to honor you yet again as the worst of the year. But we have a whole decade to go and you may keep the crown you won the past decade as worst of the decade

runners up for Worst Picture, Director go to Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' which is a total mess.





runner up: anne hathaway cartoon actress as cartoon queen
