Top Ten Movies for 2010: Part 2

Top Ten Movies for 2010: Part 2

I posted a list about two weeks ago that showed all the upcoming movies I wanted to see for 2010. Well now that the movie ‘Kick-Ass’ is in theaters, I need to replace its spot on the list. Below is the list of movies that I am personally really looking forward to seeing for the rest of the year. Granted, you may not agree with the order of the list but hopefully you can agree that most of the movies on this list are going to be good movies to see.

1. The Last Airbender – The number one pick is a hard choice, I was struggling between two different movies for the number one spot but really it is probably tied with my number two pick. I love the show that this movie is based off of (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and by the looks of the trailer M. Night Shyamalan has captured the essence of the show very well.
2. Iron Man 2 – Huge fan of Marvel comics (mostly Spiderman and X-Men though) and Marvel movies, plus Robert Downey Jr. is awesome so this movie is easily a must see.
3. Toy Story 3 – I grew up watching the Toy Storys and other Disney movies. The trailer really hasn’t disappointed me at all, so far it looks just what I think a Toy Story installment should look like.
4. Legend of the Guardians – This is another hard call, it was tough to pick between this movie and my number five pick. I never read the books that this movie is based off of but this movie is made by the same people that brought you Happy Feet, the animation looks amazing. Its definetely not your typical movie, theres something that sets this one apart from most. Its hard to be at least curious by this one.
5. The Other Guys – The only reason this movie beat my number seven spot is because this one has Will Ferrell in it. If he wasn’t in it the Sorcerer’s Apprentice would of easily won it. Its hard to describe what its like to be a Will Ferrell fan, you know he’s stupid but for some reason thats funny… its weird.
6. Sorcerer’s Apprentice – Fantasy is one of my favorite genres, a story where an average person ends up having powers and talent beyond imagine. Plus its another movie with Nicolas Cage and the man has a lot of talent at what he does.
7. Dinner for Schmucks – Starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd… do I really need to say more?
8. The Expendables - Having so much talent built into one movie, it’s hard to overlook this action movie. Written, directed, and starring Sylvester Stallone along with actors such as Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenenegger, and more. It promises to be one of the best action movies of the year.
9. Despicable Me – This is another one with Steve Carell, he plays the voice of Gru the main character. Plus I tend to like the average animated movie and this one looks especially interesting.
10. Knight and Day/Killers – Couldn’t decide with my number ten spot, both of these movies are similar and both have excellent actors. Both Tom Cruise (Knight and Day) and Ashton Kutcher (Killers) play some sort of government agent. Both of these movies also have plenty of action with a touch of comedy so, I might see both of these or only just one… it just depends.
