It's been more of a catch up year for me with films. This is partly because, when I'm at home, the nearest cinema is half an hours drive away and only has one screen. Then when I'm at uni, there are two one screen cinema's. All of these cinema's get their releases really late too. So this is basically just a list of the films which came out this year that I have actually seen:
Enter the Void:
Visually stunning and emotionally effective, with moments of wierdness and humour so pure they make your head explode.
Kick Ass:
Chloe Moretz is the scene stealer as Head Girl, eviscerating drug dealers while dressed as a barbie doll on crack. Nick Cage is tolerable and Aaron Johnson is pretty if you're into that sort of thing. Oh yeah, it had McLovin in it too
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Michael Cera is slightly more of an asshole than usual, which is a god send. This is hilariously written, filled with video game references which will delight any man of a certain generation and the girl in it is superhot. Bitchin sound track plus Jason Schwartzman round it all off nicely.
Inception/Shutter Island
My how Di Capri Sun has grown since Titanic. Both good films, enjoyed them lots. Can't really decide which one was better, not sure it matters either way. Inception had the dude who used to be in Third Rock From the Sun in it so I suppose it wins.
Oh my god it's Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Tetro
I think this was technically released in 2009, but it didn't get put out in most places until this year. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola (Sophia's dad), it's got a brilliant plot, is well shot, and has Vincent Gallo being (very) marginally more mature, but still doing his thang as good as ever.
The Illusionist
This was cute, I enjoyed the garbled dialogue and the animation was very warm and nice
