43 new movies last year is significantly up from the 34 I saw in 2009.


Random notes:

I loved, loved, LOVED "Alice in Wonderland", pretty much everything about it.

I loved "How to Train Your Dragon", even though it was a Dreamworks release and I normally don't like their animation style, but this one was different. It's a very strong contender for Best Animated Feature this year.

Yes, you've heard it in many other places, but seriously, "Inception" was mind-blowing good.

"The Expendables" was just a boatload of fun.

It was a good year for arthouse movies - "Chloe", "The Kids Are Allright", "Never Let Me Go" and "Black Swan". Lots of lesbianism sex and nudity as well, I'm also realizing.

There were two duds in the bunch - "Due Date" (even though RDJ was in it) and "Skyline".

"Burlesque" has apparently gotten lots of bad reviews, but I loved it - the singing, the dancing, even the acting. And hey, Stanley Tucci was in it, and that's always a good thing.
