Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Alex]

My stats

Movies Watched in 2010: 146
2010 Releases: 61 (includes 3 2010 movies seen since the beginning of the year)
Had already seen: 5
Movies Seen at the theater: 56

I only use a five point scale for my personal notes so not a lot of differentiation

Highest rated at time seen (both 5 of 5): Toy Story 3 and 127 Hours (I'd pick neither of them as my favorite movie of the year but they invoked strong feelings while walking out of the theater. I saw 31 movies I gave 4s to so it wasn't a bad year.

Lowest rated at time seen (lots of competition): Deep in the Valley (2009), Legion, When in Rome, The Cannonball Run II (1984), Repo Men, High Kick Girl! (2009, Japan), Jonah Hex, Species, Crank 2: High Voltage

Movies in the list of things seen in 2010 where just looking at the title on the list I have no idea what it is (some of these I rated highly):

People Will Talk (1951) - 4 of 5 - Ah, a Cary Grant movie, I still don't remember it even after looking it up.
My Name is Bruce (2009) - 2 of 5 - Ah, a spoof on Bruce Campbell's cult fame.
Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006) - 3 of 5 - Ah, a comedy about what happens when a woman reveals to her boyfriend that she once had sex with her dog.
The Boys Are Back (2009) - 2 of 5 - Ah, a cookie-cutter grief drama of Clive Owen having to figure out how to raise his sons after the death of their mother.
Cop Out (2010) - 2 of 5 - Ah, that bad cop buddy movie with Tracy Morgan (thus almost by default bad) and Bruce Willis.
The Stranger (1946) - 4 of 5 - Ah, finding secret Nazis. Actually was very interesting for shedding light on an aspect of the post-war mood. Not such a great movie just as a movie.
Paper Heart (2009) - 3 of 5 - Ah, that Michael Cera/Charlyne Yi relationship mockumentary.
