In 2010 I saw a month's worth of movies – thirty-one. Of these thirty-one, twenty-five were reviewed. The six films without reviews were the Spirit Awards screeners (“Amreeka”, “Anvil! The Story Of Anvil”, “Easier With Practice”, “The Messenger”, “Precious”, and “The Vicious Kind”) I received in January, which was before I decided to do reviews. This year I paid to see nine of the films for a total of $62, which comes out to approximately $6.89 per film. If I extend the $62 to cover all thirty-one films, it comes out to an even $2 per film for 2010!
Traditionally the top lists presented in any number of categories at the end of the year use ten for their number of items. However, I will break with tradition and only present five. No, it’s not some rebellious personal position; it is just that, based on the number of films seen by me in 2010, five top films seems a more appropriate number. So let the countdown begin:
Number Five – “Deux De La Vague” – French documentary
Number Four – “Boy” – New Zealand comedy/drama
Number Three – “Freakonomics” – American documentary
Number Two – “Never Let Me Go” – British drama
Number One – “Män Som Hatar Kvinnor” – Swedish crime/mystery
