2010's Top 5 Best Movies, So Far . . .

I meant to give a review of what I thought about Alice In Wonderland days ago, but I haven't done it. There's no real reason for the delay other than I haven't felt like it.

On my list of favorite movies for 2010 Wonderland comes in at number 3. Here's a few quick thoughts . . .

The movie was beautiful. Tim Burton movies always are. One of his best looking movies since Sweeney Todd.

I expected a more over the top performance from Johnny Depp. I thought it was reserved but still enjoyable.

Helena Bonham Carter was great with a huge head.

I didn't like Anne Hathaway with white hair. Looks better as a brunette.

Mia Wasikowsa stole the show. I thought she was great.

I think my wife and I are talking about seeing Remember Me today or tomorrow.  Let you know how that one turns out.

Here's my standing for this year's movies so far. This list will probably change from week to week, and may expand as I see need. Right now it's just a top 5 . . .

1. Shutter Island

2. The Crazies

3. Alice In Wonderland

4. The Book of Eli

5. Valentine's Day

I would say that 2010 is off to a good start. I think that it can only get better. There's some great movies coming out. My most highly anticipated movie is Inception. I'll be raving about this movie until it comes out, and probably until after I see it. The movie is studded with amazing actors and Chris Nolan is behind the camera. CNol is my favorite director. Memento is one of the greatest cinematic achievements I've seen. Nolan gives me hope that good things still come out of Hollywood.

I read that they're considering doing a remake of The Wizard of Oz. My things is . . . why the hell would you want to do that. How can you replace Judy Garland. She's Hollywood royalty. Besides, who could ever fill those red slippers? Can't happen, people!

Also, a prequel to the original Planet of the Apes is in the works. God, shoot me now! Why?! Charlton Heston is one of my favorite actos, ever. He and Clark Gable are my two favorite classic actors. 20th Century Fox has already tried to resurrect the franchise with a Tim Burton remake. And. It. Was. Horrible. Please, just leave one of my favorite movies alone. Get out there and find something original. There are good ideas out there. Look at District 9. It was one of the best Sci-fi movies in recent years. Don't rehash old things. Especially when they're classic. *sigh*

Until next time . . .

Adios and vaya con dios.
