“‘ Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,’ which would hopefully make the people think we were a little smarter than we actually are. Also it’ll be a film people will look back at and ask how did that not make money, the same way we ask that of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life.'” the World.’ It’s one of the stand out films of the year that I feel represents so much about movies today (as opposed to say… the ’40s) and what youths need to make it enjoyable. “The answer, without a doubt, is ‘ Scott Pilgrim vs. Wright’s inspired a good number of young filmmakers, and this film proves his worth as a purely 21st-century director, processing the styles of those who came before him into a younger mentality.” The ultra-zippy, ADD-like pacing, deliberate tonal shifts, and video-game-inspired visuals all add up to a thrilling, intoxicating experience. I think Edgar Wright’s choice to maintain the hyperactive style present in Bryan O’Malley’s series of graphic novels makes the movie stand out as a textbook example of modern filmmaking.

Besides all that, it’s a prime example of Hollywood exploiting and nourishing my generation’s sense of nostalgia, in no less than three dimensions.” “My pick is, without a doubt, ‘ Transformers: Dark of the Moon,’ and for a lot of the same reasons Matt picked ‘SHAGS’ as his: it’s a sequel (of a sequel) it puts mindless, sanitized violence ahead of intelligence or a sense of consequences and it relegates women to an objectified backseat. ‘The Avengers’ and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ are the AWESOME movies of this year, and I’m sure more will come in the future. Those moments are so intensely felt that they overshadow larger structural problems. But that doesn’t matter because it’s so AWESOME. It has its problems: it’s too long, the dialogue is overloaded with exposition, and the snow sequence is superfluous. For that reason, ‘ Inception‘ will be the movie that best represents it. “The 2010s are going to be a decade where AWESOME movies get more attention than the best.
