Roger Ebert’s Top 10 Movies of 2010

1. The Social Network – “it is an early observer of a trend in our society, where we have learned new ways of thinking of ourselves: As members of a demographic group, as part of a database, as figures in…a social network.”
2. The King’s Speech - “Tom Hooper’s filmmaking itself is crafted in older style, depending on an assembly of actors, costumes, sets, and a three-act structure. The characters project considered ideas of themselves”
3. Black Swan – “uses powerful performances by Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel to represent archetypal attributes”
4. I Am Love – “Tilda Swinton created masterful performances that were largely unseen because of inadequate distribution.”
5. Winter’s Bone – “risks backwoods caricatures and avoids them with performances that are exact and indelible, right down to small supporting roles.”
6. Inception – “brilliantly visualized movie.”
7. The Secret in Their Eyes – “Soledad Villamil and Ricardo Darin have presence and authority that makes their scenes together emotionally meaningful, as beneath the surface old secrets coil.”
8. The American -  “The film sees dispassionately, guards its secrets, and ends like a clockwork mechanism arriving at its final, clarifying tick.”
9. The Kids Are All Right – “In a comedy with some deeper colors, the film is an affirmation of–family values.”
10. The Ghost Writer – “Roman Polanski’s best film in years”

I agree with his list. What do you think?
