The End Of 2010 (But Not In A Roland Emmerich Way...)

It's been a while hasn't it?

A lean couple of months kept me out of the cinema but here's a very quick catch up before we get to the new year.

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT

This is one of those films where there is loads of hype and I just don't get it. A great cast make it just about okay but when even someone as good as Julianne Moore can't make her character convincing, you know there was trouble on the page before anyone stood in front of or behind a camera. Unconvincing is in fact the best word I can think of to describe this film.

4/10

SKYLINE

Dear God...

1/10

TRON LEGACY

A friend of mine described it as "dramatically redundant" a phrase I quite like. A fancy light show with an admittedly great soundtrack. My advice? Buy the soundtrack.

And that literally was it! 2010 was not a great year at the movies. The highlights were there, Inception, The Social Network, Toy Story 3, but they were few and far between. So, 11 days in, what is 2011 serving up so far?
