If you love going to the movies like I do, then you know that 2010 hasn't been a great year so far. Iron Man 2 was entertaining, but it didn't live up to the expectations set by the first. Shrek 4's box office tallies suggest that people are getting tired of the green ogre and want him put to rest. Prince of Persia was a bust by Jerry Bruckheimer Standards.
That is not to say there are not good movies coming out this year. The summer and Christmas seasons have some good ones to look forward to.
Splice, a science fiction thriller starring Adrien Brody was released this weekend and although it has not received box office acclaim, it is getting rave reviews. I have only heard great things and plan on seeing it this week.
With the potential to be the biggest Pixar success yet, Toy Story 3 is coming out this summer. The original Toy Story was the first CG animated movie of its kind and Pixar has been churning out classics ever since. You know if they took this long to make it, that it will be great.
Inception, a new film from the brilliant Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Memento, etc) is sure to be incredible. If you are somehow not a fan of his movies, maybe you will be drawn by the lead role, belonging to Leonardo Dicaprio.
Nolan has yet to make a bad movie in my opinion and an original screenplay from him about a psychological thriller has oscar nominations written all over it.
Because the trailers have looked so great, I am willing to give M. Night Shymalan one more chance with The Last Airbender. Based on a Nickelodeon show, the movie is about a boy who must use his ability to control all elements in order to save mankind from evil.
I think Cyrus is another movie to look out for. It is a dark comedy starring Jonah Hill, John C. Reilly and Katherine Keener and has received rave reviews at film festivals this year.
