- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJoseph Gordon-LevittElliot PageA thief who steals corporate secrets through the use of dream-sharing technology is given the inverse task of planting an idea into the mind of a C.E.O., but his tragic past may doom the project and his team to disaster.The best movie I've watched this year. Christopher Nolan made every ingredient of a film that you think of worked out perfectly in this film. Drama, suspense, action, thriller, sci-fi, with great musical score, mind-blowing special effects, not to mention the never-heard-plot before, name it! Inception is an example of a film that every director or movie writers should create, where everything is new and unique. Oscar should really name this as Best Picture or at least Christopher Nolan as the Best Director.
- DirectorDavid FincherStarsJesse EisenbergAndrew GarfieldJustin TimberlakeAs Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg creates the social networking site that would become known as Facebook, he is sued by the twins who claimed he stole their idea and by the co-founder who was later squeezed out of the business.The second best movie I've seen this year. One of the strongest contenders for this year's Oscar Best Picture. Be amazed on how a nerdy Harvard student turned out to be one of the world's billionaire by creating the famous social site Facebook. The film is well acted and beautifully presented. David Fincher is really amazing, He makes magic from out of almost everything. From fiction drama to biographic to mind blowing thriller, he is just one of the versatile directors in Hollywood, perhaps the best one after Steven Spielberg.
- DirectorLisa CholodenkoStarsAnnette BeningJulianne MooreMark RuffaloTwo children conceived by artificial insemination bring their biological father into their non-traditional family life.This film is the most honest movie that I've seen this year. Everything was so simple but smooth, there was no exaggeration done on the story. Most movies are done in a way it appears to be cinematic but 'The Kids Are All Right' is just what it is, a reflection of what's really happening out there somewhere. The acting was outstanding especially Annette Bening, hope she wins the Oscar this time. This movie reminds me of George Clooney's Up in the Air last year for some reason. Surely one of the all-time favorites.
- DirectorLee UnkrichStarsTom HanksTim AllenJoan CusackThe toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care center instead of the attic right before Andy leaves for college, and it's up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and to return home.Then there was Toy Story, the best animated film I've watched this year. I'm not really much of a fan of Toy Story series but it took a while for me to move on with its story. Nearly cried at the end of the film (when Andy played his toys for the last time). It's seldom for an animated film that would make you do that. May be the last Toy Story film that the Pixar will ever create but that magic that brought to our hearts will stay in it to infinity and beyond.
- DirectorDean DeBloisChris SandersStarsJay BaruchelGerard ButlerChristopher Mintz-PlasseA hapless young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons becomes the unlikely friend of a young dragon himself, and learns there may be more to the creatures than he assumed.I've always liked animated films and I have watched a lot of them this year, while some of them are just 'ok', two (or three if I expand my list to 15) of this year's animated film really stood out. Apart from Woody and Buzz adventure, I was amazed by Hiccup and Toothless in How To Train Your Dragon. Their unlikely type of friendship would make you believe that everything is really possible once done with courage and heart. Funny and moving.
- DirectorSylvester StalloneStarsSylvester StalloneJason StathamJet LiA CIA operative hires a team of mercenaries to eliminate a Latin dictator and a renegade CIA agent.Ever since the buzz about Sly and these action stars in a movie came out, I've never been so eager to watch it. The film was completed and finally released in theaters after a year. And just like what I expected the film filled with never-seen action thrills with never-seen all-stars line-up. It gets your adrenaline pumping from beginning to end. And at the end of the film it makes you shout for more. Let's just keep our fingers crossed for the sequel next year or on 2012.
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsMichael CeraMary Elizabeth WinsteadKieran CulkinIn a magically realistic version of Toronto, a young man must defeat his new girlfriend's seven evil exes one by one in order to win her heart.The funniest comedy film that I've watched this year. The film is presented in a video-game-like where Scott has to defeat several characters with extra-ordinary powers to earn points and to win his love interest. He gets power-up and gadgets and can earn extra life too. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is an example of a very unique way of making people laugh.
- DirectorBen AffleckStarsBen AffleckRebecca HallJon HammA proficient group of thieves rob a bank and hold an assistant manager hostage. Things begin to get complicated when one of the crew members falls in love with her.Forget the Ben Affleck of Armageddon and the pathetic Daredevil and focus to Ben who directed and starred in this one the most critically-acclaimed films of 2010, The Town. I've never imagined him becoming a good director 'coz Ben Affleck is just the worst actor I've ever known in Hollywood. After watching his first directorial effort "Gone Baby Gone" thought it was just a beginner's luck, but after watching The Town, damn, I can't just wait for his next film (as a director, still don't like him as an actor though). The Town was beautifully written and amazingly acted. I would be so sad if this won't be nominated as one of the best films in Oscar.
- DirectorKaran JoharStarsShah Rukh KhanKajolSheetal MenonAn Indian Muslim man with Asperger's syndrome takes a challenge to speak to the President of the United States seriously and embarks on a cross-country journey.A Bollywood film that will make your heart melt. A story of an autistic Muslim Indian who goes to America and fulfills a promise for someone he loves and that promise is to see the President of America. Funny and filled with love and hope, My Name Is Khan is a type of movie that you would want to watch over and over again and you just like it more and more every time.
- DirectorWilson YipStarsDonnie YenXiaoming HuangSammo Kam-Bo HungCentering on Ip Man's migration to Hong Kong in 1949 as he attempts to propagate his discipline of Wing Chun martial arts.If you have enjoyed the first movie, there is no reason for you not to enjoy this sequel. Donnie Yen (Ip Man) shows more of Wing Chun Martial Arts in this film. Unlike the first part, the second film got a happier ending. The last fight against Western Martial Art is my favorite part. I heard Ip Man 3 is on the works, we shall see if got the same punches like its predecessors.
