It\u2019s that time of year, again, kids. No, not Christmas. We\u2019re talking about the time to review the movie moments of 2010 that madue us laugh, cry, hurl, jump, or maybe all at the same time\u2026<\/p>\n

10. <\/em><\/strong>Piranha 3-D<\/strong><\/em><\/a> doesn\u2019t get nominated for an Oscar\u2026 couldn\u2019t care less<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Piranha<\/strong><\/p>\n

It takes a special, special movie to make you feel better about being alive, and Piranha 3-D<\/em> is that movie. Not because of the man-eating fishy-thingies, but because they didn\u2019t once even pretend that they were about anything other than cheap thrills, cheaper boobies, and B-level 3-D. They thumbed their noses at the academy and anybody else who assumes every work of art absolutely has to have a broader underlying political agenda before those pretentious dickweeds could turn their noses up on them and go back to saving the rainforest, or something.<\/p>\n

9. Steve-O got covered in poo\u2026 we laugh<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"jackass3d<\/p>\n

The success of Jackass 3D<\/em> <\/a>remains the guiltiest pleasure anybody will admit to, and it\u2019s safe to say they topped themselves with the new and improved poo cocktail. Spoiler alert: Steve-o gets strapped into a porta-john full of you know what that\u2019s hooked to bungee chords and launched hundreds of feet into the air. He screams like a little girl and gets poo everywhere, even in his mouth. It\u2019s the little things in life you cherish\u2026<\/p>\n

8. <\/strong>M. Night Shyamalan<\/strong><\/a> bombs with The Last Airbender<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"m.<\/p>\n

If M. Night Shyamalan were a coach, he would now officially be on the hot seat. He\u2019s fallen pretty far since The Six Sense<\/a><\/em>, and you got to believe he can\u2019t possibly survive many more bombs. The words \u2018written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan\u2019 still pique the average Joe\u2019s interest the same way \u2018written and directed by Brian De Palma<\/a>\u2019 once did, but that won\u2019t last forever, just like it didn\u2019t with Mr. De Palma.<\/p>\n

7. <\/em><\/strong>Legion<\/strong><\/em><\/a> makes you scared of your grandma\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"legion4kj10<\/p>\n

Few on-screen moments were more profoundly surprising and unnerving than Legion<\/em> turning a sweet old grandmother into raving supernatural beast. There used to be a line in the sand when it came to grandmas. Reanimate toddlers into demonic, undead cannibals<\/a>. Make Santa into a serial killer<\/a>. TurnBoo Boo against Yogi<\/a>. Anybody but grandma! We\u2019ve clearly come a long way since Mrs. Sturak in Don\u2019t Tell Mom the Babysitter\u2019s Dead<\/a><\/em>, and have passed the point of no return.<\/p>\n

6. <\/em><\/strong>Paranormal Activity<\/strong><\/em><\/a> \u2014 still scary<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"paranormalactivitykj09<\/p>\n

Thank you, Paranormal Activity 2<\/a><\/em>. Sure, you weren\u2019t as good as your predecessor, but you reminded us once again that you don\u2019t need gore, or expensive special effects to truly frighten people. Horror is like any other genre\u2014it works best when you simply have a good story, a good imagination, and a firm grasp of human nature.<\/p>\n

5. <\/em><\/strong>The A-Team<\/strong><\/em><\/a> proves that nostalgia is contentious\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"A<\/strong><\/p>\n

This sounded like a good idea, and honestly, it\u2019s not liked it bombed at the box office. But there\u2019s a tricky science to summoning long-dormant ideas and transferring them to the present-day. It\u2019s easy to get lost in trying to appeal to the current generation that buys the tickets and forgetting what made the original memorable in the first place. And how do you market something whose milieu is so intertwined with the time and place it was conceived?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re talking about the 80s, of course. You can\u2019t just drag something out of its place in time and expect to retain all of its charm and relevency.<\/p>\n

4. <\/strong>Joseph Gordon-Levitt <\/strong><\/a>fights in zero gravity\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Inception<\/p>\n

Inception<\/a><\/em> exploded onto the national scene like a new pressure-molded, high-impact type of cocaine. Making a film about dreamscapes within dreamscapes within dreamscapes within dreamscapes that can scramble a person\u2019s brain and not piss them off is quite a feat. Bravo,Christopher Nolan<\/a>. Bravo also for easily the coolest, most creative fight scene of the year, featuring Levitt battling another dude inside a rotating hallway that perfectly encapsulates the scope and imagination of one of the year\u2019s best films.<\/p>\n

3. <\/em><\/strong>The Social Network<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/h4>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Not so much a moment of the movie as a moment for movies. It was inevitable that somebody would make a movie chronicling the birth and full flowering of one of the most important inventions of the young century, and something that fundamentally changed the world. Watching Jesse Eisenberg <\/a>as Mark Zuckerberg tear-ass his way to the top is watching history being made, and an invaluable part of your life and everybody else\u2019s life around you explained in a chilling biopic form.<\/p>\n

2. <\/em><\/strong>Clash Of The Titans<\/strong><\/em><\/a> tries 3D, and fails\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"Clash<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just because James Cameron <\/a>can make a boatload of money doing it for a movie that was specifically designed for 3D, doesn\u2019t mean everybody else should try, too. Believe it or not, you can\u2019t just add 3D to chicken shit and expect it to make it into chicken salad. People misperceive 3D just like they misperceive rap\u2014that anybody can do it, and furthermore any movie is fair game for it. Not true. Clash<\/em>\u2019s failure served as a warning to all future filmmakers who think adding 3D to a movie is like adding sprinkles to an ice-cream cone.<\/p>\n

1. Toy Story 3<\/a><\/em> brings animation to dangerously powerful levels\u2026<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"inception<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ending of Toy Story 3<\/em> involves Woody & the gang thinking they\u2019re going to die by way of a garbage dump incinerator. The scene make you have to tell yourself \u2018it\u2019s okay, it\u2019s okay, they\u2019re just actors, they\u2019re not real\u2026wait, god damnit they\u2019re not even actors! They\u2019re just collections of computerized pixels on a screen!\u2019 Seeing them lock hands as they await a fiery death is right up there with the opening montage ofUp<\/a><\/em> as far as eliciting deep feelings that all logic tells you shouldn\u2019t be able to be elicited and controlled by a bunch of animated cells. We\u2019re calling it right now\u2014Pixar is the real life Tyrell Corporation. It\u2019s downright scary how much they make you care.<\/p>\n

Did we leave anything off that perhaps deserved the nod over Steve-O literally getting shit on?<\/p>\n

Bonus: It`s snowing here. Got myself a new fridge for the beer.<\/h3>\n
