My Personal Rankings of the Nominated Films of 2010,

1. True Grit - I really enjoyed this film for many different reasons. From a picture standpoint, the light and scenery was perfect in each scene. Also, the acting in the rolls of Maddie and rooster were spot on, and fit perfectly. However I am not crazy on the idea of Matt Damon playing the roll of a cowboy. This film is also a great blend of the book, an the original movie staring The Duke, John Wayne.


2. The King's Speech - At first I wasn't crazy about this movie. However, after watching it I found my self wanting to watch it again. I was intrested by the interaction of the king of England, and the speech theripest and how their relationship was so different compare to other commoners surrounding the king. However, it was extremly had to get used to Captain Barbosa helping a stammering king with his speach, and the pesky man who turns into a rat in harry potter playing the roll of W. Churchill. Overall, I would say this film is a close 2nd to True Grit.


3. Toy Story 3 - I ranked this film as third on the list not based on the film alone, but the film as the ending of a seiries. Toy Story is a movie I grew up with, and i was facinated with the imagination it would take to make toys come to life on film. however, this is kind of a dark film for young children. I feel like if I were ending the Toy Story ending, I would have done it a little differently, But it is nice to have closer on an old childhood favorite.


4. The Social Network - It took me a while to get into this movie mostly because I went into it wondering how they could make a whole movie on the creation of a website. However, once I got into it, I really enjoyed the film. I thought it was different and interesting, and provided a great history lesson more closely related to our times. The film was also education, and enoyable to watch.
5. Inception- I thought this film was interesting and different. It was extremly well done, and the acting was very good, but it had a little to much syfy for me. I am more into a more realistic aspect. Otherwise the film was extremly interesting, and well thought out in plot and storyline.
6. Winters Bone- This movie is also very good, but it is at the bottom of my list because of how dark the film is. it is a real downer, and is very gloomy. However, for a low budget film it was very well done, along with pretty good acting by previusly unknow actors. Through out the whole movie I hated it, But after the movie the beauty of the film really hit me, and like The King's Speech, I wanted to watch it again.
