Best Movies of 2010!

So since it's still the beginning of 2011, I thought that maybe doing a quick rundown of the my favourite movies of 2010. Now I do believe I am pretty open minded about movies, I try not to discount them for arbitrary reasons, although I do find that if they make a bad trailer, it is very difficult for me to change my mind.

I have to apologise for anyone who accidently stumbles across this blog and is still reading at this point that I am a huge Twilight fan (Team Edward!) and therefore that will colour some of my reviews, although I will try to not to go into Twilight-Obsessive mode too much!

So, 2010, some great movies, and I will just have to go with the one's I remember:

1. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
Well of course this is my movie of the year, it was long anticipated by myself and about 70 million other people so its not like I am a minority, and no I am not a teenager either. This movie was simply beautiful, well made and exciting, the best of the saga so far, want more can be said, except for Tent Scene, Meadow and proposal....now a long wait for Breaking Dawn! Wooooo!
2. The A-Team
A-ha that was a surprise huh? See, I am not just a typical woman swooning over Robert Pattinson (although that is very true), I do love me some action, and I was a fan of the A-Team when I was a kid...and I have to say this movie absolutely blew me away...it was friggin' AWESOME! Action packed, funny, fast-paced action and Liam Neeson - wow he was so good as Hannibal - amazing! The funniest was Murdock...he had some brilliant lines..."You spin me right round baby right round LMAO!
3. The Social Network
This one was a suprise to even me, I wasn't particularly enamoured by the trailer, but learning about how facebook was invented intrigued me (being a prolific facebooker) so I gave it a go, and boy am I glad because it was such a great movie. I don't know how I would convince someone to watch it though because it is basically a movie centred around a court case but I just found it fascinating. I am a sucker for the "humblest starts" although Harvard can never really be humble, however the thought that a university student created one of the biggest websites in the world...500 million users -wow - what an achievement. I was also intrigued by the music. I have to admit that I don't often notice the music in movies (unless its hip hop) but I really thought the music created such an atmosphere. Justin Timberlake was a surprise too, who knew he could act? I am a huge fan of his music, but having seen a couple of his earlier movies I was very surprised to see such an improvement.

My blog

So my husband came up with the idea for me to start this blog...I wonder how many other people have started a blog with that same sentence! I am calling it Dinner and a Movie because they might just be my very favourite things to do in this world, watch movies and eat great food. The problem I come across with both activities is that I often end up watching great movies, and then forgetting about them, same with restaurants and sometimes just a reminder not to order the steak at the Horse and Hound or whatever might just be helpful!
