Well: it’s here! The end of 2010!! We made it! How many movies do you think you watched this past year?

A lot of movies came out in 2010. To be even more technical: a “GRIPLOAD” of movies released in 2010! Some made us laugh, some made us cry, some made us mad, and some made us ask “WHY?” I didn’t get to see all of them (sorry, I’m not Ebert), but all the movies I did review can be seen at this link, anytime.

Just for you, I have compiled a list of 100 movies that released in 2010 split into 4 categories (25 each). My own personal lists of

  • (1) Movies I’m Glad I Saw,
  • (2) Movies I Missed….but wanted to see,
  • (3) Movies I wish I could “Un-see”, and
  • (4) Movies I’m glad I missed!

The movies are not listed in any order of preference, the fact that they are on the lists speaks to my desire or distaste for the film…if I’m GLAD I saw it, or not, etc. Be sure to vote HERE for your top 3 movie choices of 2010!

(*note: The ScarletSp1der’s Web was first spun on May 25. Some of the movies on this list came out prior to May 25 and therefore, at this point in time, have not been reviewed. But they still were mentioned.)
