LIke last year and the year before it, I save the first parody of the new year for my favorite film from the year before.
In this case, that’s Inception. It just blew me away unlike any other film of 2010. It may not have been as fantastical as it could have been, nor did it worry about answering all the questions about the rules of dream-sharing. But everything about the movie was top notch, and I was thoroughly entertained.
I haven’t had the chance to see all the movies of 2010 that I’ve wanted to (Black Swan, True Grit, Let Me In) so this list is subject to change – but as of now, here are my top 10 films of 2010:
- Inception
- Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
- The Social Network
- Toy Story 3
- Hot Tub Time Machine
- Kick-Ass
- The Book of Eli
- From Paris With Love
- MacGruber
- Iron Man 2
I’m not entirely sure why I went with Cthulhu for this joke, and I’m not completely convinced I pulled it off. I knew I wanted to throw something totally crazy and weird in there, and the high priest of Lovecraft’s “Great Old Ones” was the first thing that popped into my mind. Luckily, the character hasn’t been in any movies that I’m aware of, so he’s free to use for this parody.
Until next week, Keep it Reel!
