MY TOP 20+ FAVORITE MOVIES OF 2010 (SO FAR)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011YEAR 2010 was officially over. It has been a wonderful year with so many excitements and enjoyments in the cinema. A year that I have watched so many movies, so that enable me to keep writing and updating this blog. I never thought of writing a blog. Never even dreamed of writing a single critic and post it to the 'virtual' world. It was just something popped-up in my head sometimes...

2010 - Albums Of The Year (Top 10)

Numbers 20 - 11 are here... Now prepare yourself for the horror that is my Top Ten...10. Manic Street Preachers - Postcards From A Young ManI really do not get "embedding disabled by request" on youtube. Why would the record companies not want me to cross-promote their songs? Could they be scared someone might hear it and actually want to buy a copy? It's another ridiculous example of copyright law...

2010 - Albums Of The Year (20 - 11)

And so I conclude the 2010 review with my customary countdown of my favourite albums of the year. The usual provisos apply... including the one about me no longer caring about being seen as remotely cool, so nyah nyah if you don't like Meat Loaf, get over it, you fake hipsters... and the one about me not having heard every single record that was released in 2010 - not even every single one I might actually want to hear, and there being loads of stuff...

2010 - TV Of The Year

"I don't watch a lot of TV but..." could well become a catchphrase round these parts. Here's what's kept me glued to the idiot box this year...15. CastleCastle isn't great TV. It's formulaic as hell. The scripts rarely get beyond workmanlike. It has none of the sparkle of Moonlighting or even Remington Steel, which it so carefully models itself on. And yet, I can't stop watching it - for two great...

2010 - Books Of The Year

As in previous years, I've divided my favourite books of 2010 into two blurry sub-categories. New(ish) ones and old(ish) ones. There may be a bit of crossover... but what do you really care?

2010 - Films Of The Year

Let's be honest, it's not been a great year at the cinema. It has instead been a year in which most of the films I was looking forward to ended up disappointing. Hollywood's answer to a crap year at the box office appears to be to film everything in 3D next year... like that'll work!Let's look at the biggest disappointments first...
