1. Inception

Super Hadouken's Top 10 Films of 2010!!


10. Black Swan
- This film was truly twisted. A quality psychological thriller by all means. Natalie Portman was really good in this film and should be considered seriously during awards season.

9. Shutter Island
- Scorseses does it again with this psychological thriller. The script, setting, everything just clicked with this film. And Leonardo DiCaprio was amazing as usual. The twist at the end pushed this to one of the top films of the year.

8. The Book of Eli
- This film was sooo tough! The concept was crazy, Denzel was amazing and the action sequences were incredible. Definitely one of the best action films of the year. I know a lot of people slept on this movie but its definitely in the top 10.

7. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
- Ok. This film didn't do as well in the box office as it should have. It was really good. The creativity that was pumped into this project was incredible. The visuals were great and Michael Cera was funny as usual. A future cult classic for sure!

6. The Town
- I'm not particularly fond of Ben Affleck... that was until I saw this movie. He did an amazing job with this film. A classic Boston heist film, The Town is a perfect mix of drama, action and on-screen chemistry. Affleck has definitely redeemed himself with this one. Go see it!
5. Avatar
- There's a reason James Cameron only makes one film like every 5 years. The world is not ready for too many of his films at one time. This film created the 3D fad! By far the best 3D film ever made! Yea I said that. Avatar is visually stunning equipped with a genius concept. Cameron once again proves why he is one of the world's greatest directors.

4. Kick Ass
- Hands down, the best superhero film/ comic book film of 2010. Kick Ass was a perfect mixture of comedy and hardcore action. I've never read the comic but after seeing this, best believe I will. If this is what an R-rated superhero film looks like bring 'em on! I loved this movie.

3. Inception
- Mind-blowing! That's all I can say about Inception. Christopher Nolan is quickly making a name for himself in this business. He is really a problem right now. Its hard to imagine what kind of mind could dream up such a concept but it does exist and its just scary. I loved this movie. I can watch the hotel fight scene all day long. Its simply amazing cinematography and the action never stops. If you haven't seen it yet, prepare to have your mind blown.

2. Toy Story 3
- One of the best reviewed films of the year for good reason. I'm simply in love with this movie. It was like an on-screen adaption of my childhood. It is brimming with nostalgia and is one of the only films that could bring me to tears. A perfect ending to a wonderful franchise and is a very close second for the best film of year. And I do mean close. I see Oscars in this film's future. A lot of them.

1. The Social Network
- This film was simply spectacular! When this movie was announced, I was one of the people who laughed in disgust but I must say, my expectations were exceeded insurmountably. Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher took a concept with little potential and turned it to one of the greatest films of our generation. I can watch this film over and over and over and still want to watch it again. It was great to see how one of the most successful social networks of our time materialized by means of engaging story telling and breath-taking cinematography. Soooo entertaining! If this doesn't win Best Picture, I will be very surprised.

Honorable Mentions:
Get Him to the Greek, Buried, The Other Guys, The Kids Are All Right

*Yo, cuzzos! There are a few films that I haven't gotten a chance to see that I know would be potentials for this list like The Fighter, Tron: Legacy, True Grit, 127 Hours, and The Kings Speech so don't get upset because they're not on the list. It's not because I don't like 'em, its beacuse I can't judge 'em unless I've seen 'em. But I'mma see them pronto and let you guys know what I think about 'em. Stay Up and Happy New Year!!

Super Hadouken's Worst Films of 2010


6. Jonah Hex
- This film was simply boring to me. It was built up to be this action packed comic book film and it just fell on its face. I wanted to like this film, I really did but it just wasn't that good

5. Takers
- This film was extremely hyped up. Everybody I know loved this movie and built it up to be something great when in all actuality it was a film filled with shaky, unfocused camera work, spotty dialogue and a cliche story

4. Clash of the Titans

- I thought this film was gonna be really cool before it came out.. I was sadly disappointed. I can't really explain what went wrong with this one. It was just disappointing. One of the things that really stood out for me was the crappy CGI and once you mess that up, you've lost me.

3. Ong Bak 3

- *sighs* I had high hopes for this film. And I mean high! Ong bak 2 was a masterpiece! And I thought this would be no different... again I was wrong. They downgraded this franchise. The violent Tony Jaa fighting sequences were rare, the story was long and drawn out and the ending was so stupid! Although if this wasn't a follow up of Ong Bak 2, it would've been pretty decent


2. Harry Potter 7

- This film probably would not have been on this list if I cared about this franchise. But since I don't its on here. While watching this film, I was counting the minutes. Seriously counting the minutes until it was over. The action sequences were ok at best but overall they were lame and the story was long-winded and boring. I feel like this film was made only for the hardcore fans and I am not one of them

1. The Last Airbender

- When I think of the expectations I had for this film, it makes me wanna cry now. I was so hype for this!! I followed it from casting all the way to the first teaser trailer. This was finally gonna redeem M. Night's reputation. This was gonna be one of the year's best films... Yea hell no! This movie was the definition of disappointing. It was very drawn out and the action sequences were redundant. I was literally sitting in the theater reassuring myself that it was gonna get better, even into the last 20 minutes. That's how much faith I had in this film. M. Night Shymalan will make a come back, just not with this garbage. Sorry M. Night.

Super Hadouken's Top 5 TV Shows of 2010


5. Heroes
- Heroes was one the underrated shows of the year. The season really popped with special guests like Ray Park and even though season wasn't no Season 1 by any means, it was a good season.

4. Boardwalk Empire
- This show is like watching a new Scorsese movie every week. The action is there, the plot is there, and the drama is there. Hands down one of the best dramas on Tv right now.

3. Walking Dead
- Not only is this show a zombie slaughter fest, it has very deep dramatic elements. Its very well structured and will be around for at least 5 more seasons at this pace.

2. Entourage
- The show went out of control this year! Omg!! Its completely changed itself from strictly a comedy to a drama as well. Im fiending for the next season. Let's go!!

1. Breaking Bad
-The latest season of Breaking Bad was simply bananas! The writers took this series to a completely different level this year and this was by far the best show of the year.

Roger Ebert's Top 10 Films of 2010


1. The Social Network

David Fincher's direction, Aaron Sorkin's screenplay and the acting by Jesse Eisenberg, Justin Timberlake and the others all harmoniously create not only a story but a world view, showing how Zuckerberg is hopeless at personal relationships but instinctively projects himself into a virtual world and brings 500 million others behind him.

2. The King's Speech

Tom Hooper's filmmaking itself is crafted in older style, depending on an assembly of actors, costumes, sets, and a three-act structure. The characters project considered ideas of themselves; "The Social Network," in contrast, intimately lays its characters bare. From one man speaking at a distance through the radio, to another man shepherding hundreds of millions through a software program, the two films show techology shaping human nature.

3. Black Swan

This film depends more than many others on the intensity and presence of the actors, and Portman's ballerina is difficult to imagine coming from another actor.

4. I Am Love

In this film and "Julia" (2008), Tilda Swinton created masterful performances that were largely unseen because of inadequate distribution. Is it an Academy performance if no one sees it?

5. Winter's Bone

Debra Granik, the director and co-author, risks backwoods caricatures and avoids them with performances that are exact and indelible, right down to small supporting roles. Ree is one of the great women of recent movies.

6. Inception

Inception led me to speculate that my mind, at least, generates architectural pathways, and that one reason I responded to Inception is that, like all movies, it was a waking dream.

7. The Secret in their Eyes

No, this isn't a silly movie love story. These are adults--experienced, nuanced, survivors. Love has very high stakes for them, and therefore greater rewards.

8. The American

A standard thriller plot, but this is a far from mainstream thriller. Very little is explained. There is a stark minimalism at work. Much depends on our empathy. The entire drama rests on two words, "Mr. Butterfly." We must be vigilant to realize that once, and only once, are they spoken by the wrong person -- and then the whole plot reality rotates.

9. The Kids Are All Right

Sure. In a comedy with some deeper colors, the film is an affirmation of--family values.

10. The Ghost Writer

This movie is the work of a man who knows how to direct a thriller. Smooth, calm, confident, it builds suspense instead of depending on shock and action. The actors create characters who suggest intriguing secrets.

Super Hadouken's Best Animated Film of 2010


Yo, cuzzos! With the 2010 coming to a close, we decided to give our pick for the best animated film of 2010 and our pick is one of the greatest animated films ever made... Toy Story 3! This film was the perfect ending to the trilogy and was just oozing with nostalgia. Watching this movie was a emotional experience and if it isn't seriously considered for an Oscar, the world is lost.
