Having seen 105 films in cinemas last year, I have a long list of contenders for my favourite ten. Whittling them down to the finalists is tricky, but here we go.
10. Hanna - Siaorse Ronan is a young assassin on the run
9. X-Men First Class - the best superhero story of the year
8. No Strings Attached - romantic comedy with Natalie Portman and Ashton Kucher
7. Sucker Punch - amazing visuals
6. Source Code - mind-twisting science fiction storyline
5. True Grit - Coen Brothers western
4. Melancholia - the opening slow-mo sequence is the most memorable four minutes of my entire year
3. Sarah's Key - such a poignant story of the second world war
2. Midnight in Paris - I love both Paris and midnight.
1. Black Swan - saw this twice.
Note that none of the above are 3-D. Although several blockbusters in the extra dimension were moderately enjoyable at the time, they didn't make a lasting impression on me.
have you forgotten about Barney's Version, We Need to Talk about Kevin, The Trip, Incendies, Biutifu, Contagion, Eye of the Storm, The Hunter? So many movies, so little time...
