10 Reasons Why 2010 Looks To Be A Great Year

6 hours ago | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Wow, 2010 is finally here! The last decade went by incredibly fast. Or at least it seems like it. So much in the entertainment industry has advanced, but there's been several setbacks as well. Superhero and 3D movies appear to be in full swing as well as undesirable remakes and no talents like the Hiltons and Kardashians are famous for absolutely no reason. I think that as the first year of this new decade begins, there's much to look forward to. Well at least for me there is. Despite the many setbacks in the quality of entertainment, I think we're now in an exciting time. Young minds with original and fresh ideas are starting to get their chance to step out and revolutionize things, while the return of the old guard and the familiar can be nostalgic and also bring back a more simplistic time. For 2010 there are many things I look forward to, »

tMF Top 50: Best Movies of the 2000s (10-1)

2 January 2010 9:32 PM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »

We finally made it.  The best of the best.  Before we get to the top ten best films of the decade, take a minute to review the rest of the list:

#50-41 | #40-31 | #30-21 | #20-11

These are the films that mean the most to me. They have kept me up at night causing me to ponder endlessly about them, its characters, its themes and its mood: What was it that made feel (enter whatever emotion)? They successfully have managed to penetrate my body, settling there ever since I first viewed them and will probably be established within me for the rest of my life. I also believe they helped shape the decade in film by bringing new dimensions to historic genres. This decade alone allowed us, encouraged us and eventually forced us to view romance, relationships, corruption, greed, dreams and hope in a fashion that movie goers never perceived prior to it. »

Top 50 Performances of the Decade (Male)

2 January 2010 1:13 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

They aren't ranked. Deal with it. I must thank these 47 actors again (three performers have two entries) one last time for delivering such indelible characterizations these past ten years. Bid them adieu before moving on to a fresh decade, the Teens. You may notice that this list includes no 2009 performances. It's too early! I don't wanna give away my upcoming nominees and I still need time to let the year settle. My dozen favorites are selected rather impulsively in red. And with "best/favorites" it's always subject to change with the passing of time... or moods.

The Western Isn't Dead! Here Are the Top Ten of the Last Decade

1 January 2010 9:01 PM, PST | amctv.com - Future of Classic: Westerns | See recent amctv.com - Future of Classic: Westerns news »

The popularity of bromances like I Love You Man didn't begin and end with comedies. With a few exceptions, the finest Westerns of the 21st-century have focused on the world of male bonding: Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris, Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal... These all-star pairings have helped the form come a long way from its collective dry spell in the 1980s. Here's hoping »

Part 5: From Swords and sandals to Up in the air

Swords & Sandals

Move over robots, here comes the beefcake!

The tide has turned turned against robots and time travel in the blockbusters stakes. This summer's big movies involve medieval weaponry, mythical beasts, and beefcake straining against leather strapwork. Stepping into the sweaty Schwarzenegger-sized sandals are Avatar's Sam Worthington and Donnie Darko's Jake Gyllenhaal – the former battling Medusa, vengeful Greek gods and hopefully the Kraken in a remake of Clash Of The Titans, the latter flexing his new, gym-pumped physique against Ben Kingsley in lavish Disney fantasy The Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time. Curiously, Gemma Arterton stars in both. Elsewhere, Kevin Macdonald enters Gladiator territory with his Roman Britain epic The Eagle Of The Ninth (see "R" for Russell Crowe's return to the genre), Tarsem Singh is getting his Theseus pic Dawn Of War together, »
