Notes on the Year-End Recap to Come

Greetings and a Happy New Year to you, the reader. Time permitting, I'll try to put up another review tonight. There are a number of options, but I can't decide whether to close 2010 out with a classy documentary like Casino Jack and the United States of Money, Walt & El Grupo, or if I should stick to my roots and watch Mega Piranha (a gag gift from a friend). I don't know if I need any more movies to add to my "Never Again" list, but I'm a little burnt out and could use something terrible to relax with.

Tomorrow would have been the beginning of my 2010 Year-End Recap, with films falling into the "Favorites," "The Middle," or the aforementioned "Never Again" categories, but the Cranpire had to reschedule last night's field trip to see True Grit until Saturday (and thus necessitating the Cap'n bumping up my review of The American). If I can't see Black Swan before the recap starts, I'd at least like to see True Grit. As it stands, I think that when the first part of the recap goes up (probably on Monday), you should have plenty of interesting films to check out, with links to the reviews. I know it's not easy to keep up with a blog that updates so frequently, so this will be an opportunity to find movies you missed over the year.

If you're wondering what I didn't get to see that I wanted to, here's a handy list:

Black Swan
127 Hours
The Fighter
Winter’s Bone
The King’s Speech
Get Low
Cyrus
Let Me In
Monsters
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
Casino Jack and the United States of Money
Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One
Somewhere
Tetro
I Am Love

Let's agree to look forward to reviews of these and many other films in 2011!
