CM's Best-Reviewed Movies of 2010
PART 2 [No. 10 - 1]
________________________________
1. The Social Network (9.75/10)
Overall summary: Marvellously-written, masterfully-directed, sharply-edited, and hugely engrossing, "The Social Network" is hands down the best movie of the year so far, a true masterpiece of modern cinema, and one of Fincher's finest achievements along with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Fight Club" and "Se7en".

2. Black Swan (9.50/10)
Overall summary: Remarkable in its terrifying brilliance and captivating in its ballet-like gracefulness, "Black Swan" is the most sophisticated and beautifully-schizophrenic horror film of the year, if not the decade.
________________________________
3. Tangled [3D] (9.50/10)
Overall summary: Filled with smart and witty dialogues, hilarious characters, eye-popping visuals and stunning 3D effects, "Tangled" is, arguably, the best non-Pixar Disney film, since their 1991 masterpiece, "Beauty and the Beast", and, hands down, the funniest animated flick I've seen in my life.

4. Inception (9.50/10)
Overall summary: Christopher Nolan's "Inception" is a groundbreaking, intriguing, exhilarating, super-compelling, and visually mind-blowing sci-fi thriller, that's destined to become a timeless classic!

5. Jianyu a.k.a.
Reign of Assassins (9.50/10)
Overall summary: Visually-fantastic, spectacularly-choreographed and captivatingly entertaining, "Reign
of Assassins" is the best martial arts film since Zhang Yimou's 2006
visual feast, "Curse of the Golden Flower", and my favorite movie of
2010, along with Fincher's "The Social Network"!

6. Trolljegeren a.k.a.
The Troll Hunter (9.25/10)
Overall summary: Due to its chillingly-original concept, pitch-perfect execution and mind-blowing visuals, "The Troll Hunter" ranks right up there with such mocku-masterpieces as "[REC]" and "The Blair Witch Project".

7. How to Train Your Dragon [3D]
(9.25/10)
Overall summary: "How To Train Your Dragon" can surely be added to the list of fantastic animated films of the past 10 years - it's a touching, beautifully-crafted and visually-spectacular film about family, friendship, tolerance and something more!
________________________________
8. Toy Story 3 (9.25/10)
Overall summary: With its witty, moving script, engaging story and utterly likable characters, "Toy Story 3" is not just a great piece of animated storytelling, it's also an absolutely brilliant piece of film-making.
________________________________
9. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (9.25/10)
Overall summary: Totally refreshing, wildly imaginative, extremely funny, and spectacularly dazzling, "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is the most original and visually-unique movie since Stephen Chow's cartoonish martial arts extravaganza, "Kung Fu Hustle", and almost like nothing you have seen before.
________________________________
10. 127 Hours (9.00/10)
Overall summary: A visual and technical tour-de-force, accompanied by James Franco's irresistible performance, "127 Hours" is one of Danny Boyle's most remarkable achievements, and certainly one of 2010's best films.
