The Films Of 2010 (MCN) Dec 17 second tally

Second iteration of the MCN tabulation of Critic Top Ten Lists. 50 critic lists now represented. Glad that Inception won't be the year's dominant film, disappointed to see that The Social Network will be, but pleased as punch that Winter's Bone is clearly the Indie to beat. Need to see Black Swan (Darren Aronofsky, on Vancouver screens now) and TS3 (on DVD). Wish I could see the five your Carlos, waiting for Let Me In on DVD though I want to see the Let The Right One In with GOOD subtitles first. GHOST WRITER at #10? Dear lord of movie criticism, will you not intervene? Expecting King's Speech to rally, eager to see it, maybe even before Christmas. Tickled that Please Give is in the top 20, but realizing Animal Kingdom maybe just didn't get seen by enough folks: well, it's still my Number One, they can't take that away. Also realizing Me & Orson Welles probably just an idiosyncratic pleasure, and sticking to my theory that crits have forgotten how fine was The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, lumping it in with its lumpen sequels.
