Reel Short Takes: 127 Hours

Music makes the movie. That is so true in this case.  Boyle used some cheesy tactics in selling this movie.  He prompted, he pandered to the viewer. I fell asleep while Franco was cutting his arm off. The best part is when he escapes and finds help.

It was okay, not a top ten in my book but worth renting.  The best part was that they used “Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone.”  By Bill Withers.

Heloise’s Top Ten Flixs of 2010: Part II

See my other post of the films I’ve seen. A couple on this list may not have been seen by me for one reason or another. Many films just do not come here so I have to rely on Netflix to get caught up. I did not include any foreign films on the list. This was not the best year in film in fact some films were kinda, well, flimsy LOL. And that’s too bad.  American films don’t take enuf risks IMO. Anyway here is my list. Can’t say I’ve seen them all, but that should not matter.

11.  Eat Pray Love (honorary mention actually)

10.  Inception

9.    127 Hours (did not see)

8.   The Town
