User blog:Radical M/2010 in Review

Inspired by Turnertag's Best and Worst Movies blog, I decided to review 2010 in every aspect of media.

Top 10 Movies

 * 1) The Social Network - Although I thought the idea for the movie was kinda strange, it turned out to be an extremely good movie. Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Mark Zuckerburg really well. It was a great message and it showed how money can tear friends apart and that Brenda Song is a pretty good actress when she's not playing a dumbass heiress. <3 Facebook <3


 * 1) Inception - Leonardo DiCaprio is an amazing actor and this is an amazing movie. It is hard to follow, but it is an intense movie.


 * 1) The Other Guys - This movie was hilarious. Will Ferrell is one of my favorite actors and this is one of his bests.


 * 1) Vampires Suck - Critics hated it and even people who liked it didn't love it, but this was one of my favorite movies of 2010. Scary Movie and Meet the Spartans were hilarious, and this movie lives up to them.


 * 1) Scott Pilgrim vs The World - Michael Cera is another great actor. Not only was this movie good, but it was also unique. I loved the old video game references, mostly because I'm addicted to video games.


 * 1) Iron Man 2 - I know it seems that I love every actor I mention, but Robert Downey Jr. is especially one of my favorites, maybe even my favorite. He always plays such witty characters like Tony Stark and Sherlock Holmes (by the way, Sherlock Holmes was my favorite movie of 2009). I love Marvel superheroes and can't wait for more upcoming films.


 * 1) The Karate Kid - Unlike most people, I liked this more than the original. Probably because it more action and it was less of a cliche (well I guess the original kinda started the cliche but whatever).


 * 1) Due Date - Another hilarious movie. Again, I love Robert Downey Jr. and I also loved The Hangover.


 * 1) Kick-Ass - Pretty funny. Honestly, I couldn't think of anything else.


 * 1) Megamind - I like Dreamworks movies and again, I like Will Ferrell.

Top 10 Video Games of 2010

 * 1) Halo: Reach - This was a great way to end the Halo series. The Campaign was amazing and it's even more fun when playing co-op. The best part has to be Forge though. I love making maps even though they are usually pretty bad. I also liked Theater. It was overall amazing. The Matchmaking mode was okay, but not too addicting (I guess that's good in some ways).


 * 1) Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - Assassin's Creed is my favorite overall video game series. I was looking forward to this for a while and even pre-ordered it just so I could get Harlequin. I was hoping to see a new character, but once I played it I was glad to delve further into Ezio's story. My favorite part about the series though is Desmond's story. The ending was amazing. I won't spoil it for some, but it was something Sprink would probably think up (that's a compliment btw XD). The storyline of the series is AMAZING. Along with the campaign, the multiplayer is awesome. Although the server is slow, it's worth the wait.


 * 1) Call of Duty: Black Ops - I am not much of a Call of Duty fanboy, but I have loved the series lately. I was starting to get sick of Infinity Ward, and World at War wasn't too fun, so I was really looking forward to this. It turned out to be even better then I expected. The campaign is much more amazing than previous Call of Duty games. I know many video gamers don't care about this, but I loved the cast. Sam Worthington is amazing as Mason. Other notable appearances are Gary Oldman as Reznov and Ice Cube as Bowman, who both do a fabulous job. The multiplayer is much more addicting than Reach. Another great mode is Zombies, which I honestly probably play more than multiplayer.


 * 1) Red Dead Redemption - Although it's not very appropriate (but what can you expect from the makers of Grand Theft Auto), it is a very fun game. John Marston is one of my favorite video game characters of 2010 and the setting is really interesting. It has never been tried before, but it turned out well.


 * 1) God of War III - I wish I owned a PS3 just so that I could play this game. I played it as a friend's house and it is amazing. The combat is really amazing and it is a great way to end the series.


 * 1) Dead Rising 2 - A very gory game, but I love zombie-slaying games. It's very fun and kinda relaxing in a way (I know, it's weird). Combining weapons is very unique and really fun.


 * 1) Kinect Sports - Unlike Kinect Adventures!, Kinect Sports is extremely fun to play with friends. You could play it for three hours straight before getting bored and you'd probably play it again the next day. The only sport I could say I don't have fun playing is Bowling.


 * 1) Alan Wake - Although I don't normally like thriller games, Alan Wake has a really intense plotline and is fun overall.


 * 1) Epic Mickey - I hate how Mickey Mouse has turned more and more into a little kids' character. Epic Mickey is trying to change that. It has a very interesting plotline and amazing gameplay.


 * 1) The Sims 3 - This is kinda a game you play when you have nothing to do, but then you start playing it for hours.

Top 10 Songs of 2010

 * 1) Dynamite - I'm not gonna comment on the songs too much, but Taio Cruz has a nice voice.


 * 1) Love the Way You Lie - Really catchy and Eminem is my favorite rapper


 * 1) Airplanes - Hayley Williams has a beautiful voice and the song's lyrics actually have meaning


 * 1) Just the Way You Are - A very romantic song. If I knew how to sing, I'd probably just sing this to every girl I met, playing on my acoustic guitar. :D


 * 1) Grenade - Another great Bruno Mars song. Although, he never mentions whether the grenade is live or not...or whether the blade was a knife blade or a grass blade...or whether the train was moving or not.


 * 1) Replay - Iyaz is a good rapper. Everytime I listened to this song on my iPod, I'd replay it. (That was corny. XD.)


 * 1) In My Head - Very catchy song


 * 1) Just a Dream - Also very catchy


 * 1) I Gotta Feeling - I put this near the bottom of the list because it actually came out it 2009, but it was actually still #1 in 2010.


 * 1) Bottoms Up - I like Trey Songz's part, but I hate Nicki Minaj's voice. It's like a mouse inhaled helium and spoke into a bullhorn.
