Confession: Perhaps I’m not the best man to judge these things. The only 2010 flicks I have seen are – Inception, Toy Story 3, Youth in Revolt, The Book of Eli, The Crazies, Hot Tub Time Machine, Clash of the Titans, Date Night, Kick-Ass, Iron Man 2, Get Him to the Greek, Splice, Predators, Dinner for Schmucks, The Expendables, The Last Exorcism, Resident Evil: Afterlife, The Town. That’s 18 out of approximately 340 movies released in 2010 (or a little more than 5 percent). So there.
