Clint’s Top 10 Films of 2010
I’ll actually be glad to see the ass of 2010 – it’s been a fairly tough year. Not speaking about the ass rash most of us garnered sitting through ”Harry Potter : Check out the storks on Hermione” or ”Chronicles of Narnia : Will third studio be the charm?” Nor the amount of work that piled up on my desk (funnily enough, it still sits there – underneath some Roxy Music CDs and a thesaurus (needed to know what a ‘Focker’ was) throughout the year, nope just in general terms, 2010 was a bit of a chore to get through at times.
Earlier in the year I was dealt both a blow and a test when my best mate suddenly passed away (in his sleep) – obviously that’s going to take more than a new year to get over but still, kinda saw 2010 get off to a rough start (And at Christmas time, it’s amazing how much you think of those you’ve lost), then I jumped shipped from one job to the other in the hope of better pay and more respect – I got neither (my little girl’s meals started to get smaller); in October – after much traveling and a couple of rocky airplane trips – I came down with pneumonia. The bastard thing stuck around like the sticky crap that climbs the kid’s bedroom walls – drained me big time; and then, of course, opportunity knocked when a door back into film publicity and talent management swung back open… yes, that’s great, but at the same time, it’s been a really hard juggle! (and I haven’t officially even started the job yet) and I finish the year with a big bout of ‘Shit, I’m stuffed’.
But you know what makes up for all of it? Seeing my little Charisma grow, smile and take after her Dad with her Olivia Newton-John obsession. That’s the shizzle right there!
Film-wise, it’s been a pretty good year – Sure, I struggled with the Top Ten, but not because there hasn’t been enough good flicks out but mainly because, due to work, I haven’t been able to get to as many screenings this year. Still, I’m pretty sure I covered the majority of the ones worth covering – and will catch up with “Gulliver’s Travels” on DVD.
10. Remember Me
I remember getting an Atari for my 10th birthday. That was a big surprise. When I caught the top of those tiny ted joysticks atop of their black spongy controls, I knew my entry into double figure land was going to be one to remember. Wanna know what a bigger surprise was? ”Remember Me”! This truly out Gorfed Gorf and Swallowed Pac Man hole in terms of pleasant surprises – I kid you not. Say what you will about his sparkling work in those vampire pics, Robert Pattinson delivers one of the richest and most weighty performances of any actor this year with his uneasy son and lover at the center of director Allen Coulter’s love letter to 9/11 (yes, there is such a thing). Catch it on DVD – you’ll find it, unjustly, at the ‘bottom’ of the new releases shelf.
