Criterion's New Year's card featuring hints for their 2010 slate of releases
Photo: Criterion Collection
The above image was released by the Criterion Collection on New Year's Day as an artful hint helping Criterion fans guess at what might be released from the home video studio in 2010. The use of blue was specifically seen as nods to Blu-ray candidates (how many blue leopards have you seen?) and helped inspire me to put together ths following list of confirmed and rumored catalog Blu-ray releases for 2010. However, I wasn't able to do this on my own. I needed help from Blu-ray.com, Hi-Def Junkies and The Digital Bits to put the following list together.
I started with a list of confirmed 2010 releases followed by rumored 2010 releases. I have included links to any of the titles already added to the RopeofSilicon database.
Confirmed

Daybreakers Movie Reviews

The idea of a vampire like Bromley feeding off the misery of his own kind is an intriguing one. But the Spierig brothers never truly commit to dissecting the economics of supply and demand during a time of crisis. Then again, it’s just one of many ideas pursued by the Spierig Brothers that are never fully realized.
How about the allure of vampirism being too strong to resist? You don’t age and you live forever. Hey, I understandable why a girl would rather burn to death in the sunlight than remain trapped for eternity in the body of a 10-year-old year child. But why would Dalton – 35 (again for the 10th time) and upwardly mobile – resist being a vampire when his human-hunter brother Frankie (Michael Dorman) embraces it? Dalton’s actions reveal that vampires do not completely lose their moral code when their humanity is sucked right out of them.

Daybreakers Review

The concept behind “Daybreakers” is reminiscent of “I Am Legend.” No, not the movie with Will Smith, but the book. In the near future, vampires have become the dominant society on the planet. Grocery stores are no longer relevant as human blood is the only form of nourishment that the vampires require. A vampire by the name of Charles Bromley (Sam Neill) is the head of a company that specializes in farming humans for their blood. The problem is that humans are nearing extinction and there aren’t that many of them left to farm. To keep his company afloat, he enlists the help of a scientist named Edward (Ethan Hawke) to come up with a blood supplement. Time and time again, Edward (poor choice of name) attempts to find another way of nourishing the vampire race, but fails…read more [BadGuyWins]

The best films of the decade

"Synecdoche, New York" is the best film of the decade. It intends no less than to evoke the strategies we use to live our lives. After beginning my first viewing in confusion, I began to glimpse its purpose and by the end was eager to see it again, then once again, and I am not finished. Charlie Kaufman understands how I live my life, and I suppose his own, and I suspect most of us. Faced with the bewildering demands of time, space, emotion, morality, lust, greed, hope, dreams, dreads and faiths, we build compartments in our minds. It is a way of seeming sane.
The mind is a concern in all his screenplays, but in "Synecdoche" (2008), his first film as a director, he makes it his subject, and what huge ambition that demonstrates. He's like a
novelist who wants to get it all into the first book in case he never publishes another.

Part 3: From Kick-Ass to new digital technology
Kick-ass
Meet the new class of slacker superheroes
Although 2009 was notably free of Super- and Spider-Men, with only the underwhelming Watchmen to fill the gap, 2010 sees the return of the comic-book hero big time, but with a sneaky twist: next year's crop don't have a single superpower between them. First out of the gate is Matthew Vaughn's scabrous Kick-Ass, adapted from Mark Millar's graphic novel, about a teenage boy (played by Aaron Johnson), who dreams of being a masked vigilante and winds up crossing paths with real-life caped crusaders Big Daddy (Nic Cage) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Moretz), a ferocious, foul-mouthed father-and-daughter double act. Following that comes Edgar Wright's long-awaited Hot Fuzz follow-up Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, based on a series of comics by Bryan Lee O'Malley and starring Michael Cera as a lovelorn slacker who has to defeat
