The 25 most exciting movies of 2010!

[b][color=red]25. CLASH OF THE TITANS[/color][/b]

Action impresario Louis Letterier (The Transporter, The Incredible Hulk) helms this remake of the classic 1981 film Clash of the Titans. Gone are the stop-motion villains; enter glorious CGI monsters. With a cast that includes Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes combined with a screenplay from Lawrence Kasdan (The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark), consider us intrigued. I only hope they figure out a better tagline than “Titans will clash”. No duh.

[b][color=red]24. AREA 51[/color][/b]

Oren Peli, the financially savvy horror maestro behind breakout hit Paranormal Activity, is already working on follow-up Area 51. The flick will be another 'found footage' narrative based around three curious teens who wind up in the notorious Area 51 in the Nevada Desert. A prediction: things go badly for them. Area 51 has a budget of $5 million; roughly 500 times what Peli had to work with on Paranormal.

[b][color=red]23. I LOVE YOU PHILLIP MORRIS[/color][/b]

I Love You … is based on the real life events of a con artist (played by Jim Carrey) who escapes prison to reunite with his former cellmate/love of his life (Ewan McGregor). This film, written by the team behind Bad Santa, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival almost 12 months ago to some great reviews. However, the risqué homosexual content scared distributors away. Maybe 2010 can be the year that an Australian distributor shows they are brave enough to bring a critically acclaimed film to audiences, regardless of its content (which frankly, should not have been a problem in the first place).

[b][color=red]22. DAYBREAKERS[/color][/b]

Aussie brothers Peter and Michael Spierig throw their hat into the vampire genre with their latest film Daybreakers. Filmed mid-2007, their picture will finally see release in 2010. The pic stars Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe, alongside Australian thesps Isabel Lucas, Vince Colosimo and Claudia Karvan.

[b][color=red]21. THE EXPENDABLES[/color][/b]

Sly Stallone has positioned himself as one of the best action directors working today. The Expendables might just be his masterpiece; a trashy throwback to the muscleman movies of the 1980s. The film stars Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts and features cameos from Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[b][color=red]20. YOUR HIGHNESS[/color][/b]

Comedy/fantasy is a dangerous game, but in the hands of indie-auteur David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, All The Real Girls), it could be spectacular. Danny McBride and James Franco play two prince brothers (really?) who must rescue Franco’s recently kidnapped virginal bride (Zooey Deschanel). They are joined on their quest by a warrior princess (Natalie Portman).

[b][color=red]19. THE A-TEAM[/color][/b]

I should know better than to be excited for a TV-to-film adaptation, but there is something palpably cool about the new A-Team. Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and Liam Neeson (and to a lesser extent the UFC fighter they got to play Mr. T) look the part, and director Joe Carnahan has long-deserved a big action flick to sink his teeth into. My anticipation is tentative – but a boy can dream can’t he?

[b][color=red]18. COP OUT[/color][/b]

Formerly known as A Couple of Dicks (and briefly, A Couple of Cops), Kevin Smith makes his studio debut with this buddy flick starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. Willis is no stranger to funny action movies, but the real wildcard here is Tracy Morgan. Can he top the heights of Who Dat Ninja?

[b][color=red]17. THE OTHER GUYS[/color][/b]

The Other Guys is, aptly, the other action comedy about police officers to debut in 2010. Adam McKay (Talladega Nights, Anchorman) directs his muse Will Ferrell alongside Mark Wahlberg as they play two detectives who always miss out on the action. Of course, the big reason to get excited is that the film features Michael Keaton in a supporting role. And who doesn’t love Michael Keaton?!

[b][color=red]16. THE SOCIAL NETWORK[/color][/b]

The name David Fincher doesn’t exactly conjure up thoughts of warm comedy and intimate relationship drama as much as it does brutal beatings and horrific, violent imagery. Therefore, I was definitely excited to hear that he would be adapting Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal (adapted by Aaron Sorkin). Starring Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake, I cannot wait to see Fincher bring out his sense of humour on this one. Saying that, perhaps it is apt that the man who depicted the fall of civilisation also direct the Facebook movie.

[b][color=red]15. PAUL [/color][/b]

Greg Mottola follows up the genius Superbad and the touching Adventureland with this sci-fi comedy written by and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. They play British geeks who go on an American road trip, during which time they encounter an alien named Paul (a motion-captured Seth Rogen). Although it has perhaps the most boring movie title of the year, it features an incredible cast that includes Jason Bateman, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch and Sigourney Weaver.

[b][color=red]14. KICK ASS[/color][/b]

Comic author Mark Millar’s ultra-violent superhero satire is getting ready to bombard movie goers in a big bad way. We could discuss the debut of Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin himself) as a dangerous superhero, or the inclusion of the Quickflix team’s favourite actor Nicolas Cage in the cast. But why bother? After its debut, we’ll all be talking about Hit Girl (Chloe Moretz) – the foulmouthed sword-wielding 12-year-old with a penchant for decapitating drug dealers.

[b][color=red]13. YOUTH IN REVOLT[/color][/b]

If it stars Michael Cera, you can pretty much guarantee it’s on my radar. I can’t wait to see Miguel Arteta’s adaptation of C.D. Payne’s novel Youth In Revolt, in which Cera plays nervy Nick Twisp and his suave, moustached alter-ego Francois Dillinger. Early reports say the film harks back to the films of Savage Steve Holland. But I know what you are thinking: when you’ve already made the sale, stop sellin’!

[b][color=red]12. SHUTTER ISLAND[/color][/b]

Martin Scorcese’s Shutter Island claimed 11th place on our most anticipated films of 2009. As punishment for Paramount’s decision to postpone the release until 2010, it has been dropped by exactly one devastating position. Marty, the ball is in your court. Impress us!

[b][color=red]11. GET HIM TO THE GREEK[/color][/b]

Judd Apatow’s one and only production for 2010, Get Him to the Greek is writer/director Nicholas Stoller’s first film since Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Russell Brand reprises the character of Aldous Snow from that film, except this time, the hard-living lothario has fallen off the wagon. It is up to young record company intern (Jonah Hill) to get Snow across the isles to an important gig. Co-starring Rose Byrne, Elisabeth Moss and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

[b][color=red]10. BLACK SWAN[/color][/b]

Fox Searchlight are producing Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, a psychological/supernatural thriller about two rival ballet dancers. As if the similarities between this and Suspiria weren’t enough to get you excited, then perhaps the “intense” love scene between starlets Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis will.

[b][color=red]9. LET ME IN[/color][/b]

Let the Right One In was one of my favourite films of 2008, and although I don’t think an English-language remake is necessary, it’s hard not to be intrigued by this new take. Directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield), Let Me In stars Kodi Smit-McPhee as a young boy who befriends a vampire (Chloe Moretz - of future Kick Ass fame). Of course, this ain’t no “aw shucks, aren’t they cute?” relationship. There will be blood.

[b][color=red]8. HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS - PART 1[/color][/b]

Ummm, it’s the last Harry Potter film. Well, Part 1 anyway. Part 2 doesn’t hit cinemas until 2011.

[b][color=red]7. THE GREEN HORNET[/color][/b]

Perhaps this is the riskiest title on the list. Despite my excitement, there are a lot of elements that could go wrong here. Seth Rogen as the legendary masked vigilante; Michel Gondry directing; Christoph Waltz as the villain; a cameo from Anvil. It could all equal an offbeat action classic or an unintentionally comic mess. I’m hoping it's the former.

[b][color=red]6. IRON MAN 2[/color][/b]

Director Jon Favreau and star Robert Downey Jr. proved they are more than capable to elevate the superhero genre with the insanely fun first Iron Man. This time around, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Don Cheadle are thrown into the mix. I don’t want to jinx the project, but… oh what the hell! Iron Man 2 can’t fail!

[b][color=red]5. TRUE GRIT[/color][/b]

The Coen Brothers have been on a bit of a streak lately – of course, this streak began back in 1989, so it’s also one of the most impressively sustained streaks in Hollywood history. This year they will remake the classic John Wayne western True Grit with Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin. The Dude meets The Duke!

[b][color=red]4. CEMETERY JUNCTION[/color][/b]


Although The Invention of Lying wasn’t the most auspicious of directorial debuts for Ricky Gervais, we have higher hopes for his first project with his Office and Extras co-writer/director Stephen Merchant. The film takes place in the 1970s and focuses on three young men working at an insurance company. Not intrigued? Don’t forget, these were the guys that made a paper company in Slough more fascinating viewing than any televisual police department.

[b][color=red]3. TOY STORY 3[/color][/b]

It’s Pixar. What more do you want? The only real question is, can it top the previous Toy Story installments? Not only that, will it match the flawless triumvirate of the studio’s last three films: Ratatouille, WALL-E and Up? Let’s face it. Probably!

[b][color=red]2. INCEPTION[/color][/b]

Christopher Nolan follows up The Dark Knight with a mind-bending thriller in which “your mind is the scene of the crime”. It also features the best cast of 2010: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Ken Watanabe and Michael Caine. It threatens to change the face of action/sci-fi cinema like The Matrix before it. Inception will be a tremendous hit and will likely be atop many ‘most anticipated’ lists. And it almost topped mine, but not quite.

[/color][/b]1. SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD[b][color=red]

Much like last year’s number 1 film, my most anticipated picture of 2010 is another long-awaited adaptation of a graphic novel. Bryan Lee O’Malley’s six-part Scott Pilgrim saga is equal parts (500) Days of Summer and Super Mario Bros. It is an evocative and truthful romantic comedy, wrapped up in an absurd video-game, executed with satirical (and sometimes blisteringly earnest) perfection. It skewers Hollywood, fighting games, indie-punk, Canadian/American affairs, 'the scene’ and post-teen/pre-adult relationships – all in the most loving manner possible.

Michael Cera stars as slacker Scott Pilgrim, bass player for the band Sex Bob-omb, who falls in love with the elusive roller-skating delivery girl Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). He’s ready for romance, but Ramona’s affection comes at a price – he must defeat her seven evil ex-boyfriends, including the dastardly Gideon Graves (Jason Schwartzman), if he wishes to claim her hand.

Directed by Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) and adapted for the screen by writer Michael Bacall (he was an Inglourious Basterd!), Scott Pilgrim has been atop my most-anticipated film list for some time now. At its best, it could be a hilarious, action-packed and very touching film that captures Generation Y better than even Juno or Superbad. At its worst, it’ll probably just rock really hard.
