2010 Releases

By: Sean Keeley

This is a ranked list of the new releases I’ve seen in 2010. Some of them are technically from 2009 or even 2008, but they only came to my neck of the woods this year. Keep in mind that a lot of movies I’d like to see never come to my home town. There’s an “art” wing at my local multiplex, but that’s all Sony Pictures Classics stuff and nothing more. Luckily, there is a local art house that runs for part of the year out of a local college. That’s where I got to see Me and Orson Welles, Still Walking, and Farewell.
