Party Down: Season 2

Steve Guttenberg's birthday? Best of the batch this year.

Toy Story 3

I didn't get truly geeked about version 3 until the final escape sequence, so that doesn't put it at the top of my Pixar list. Worthy successor, however.

Shutter Island

Within the first 5 minutes, I knew it would be overlong, not tension-filled, and a big cheat. Which isn't all bad, but just not worth the time.

Youth in Revolt

Oddly stilted dialogue, but not styled to best effect. See "Brick" instead.

Sex and the City 2

Here's the next movie: "Sex and the City 3: The Girls Help the Poor." Wouldn't that be a breath of fresh air?

Lifeboat

Stick a bunch of people in a situation there's no getting out of, and you have a film about the human condition. There are others, but this one is at the top.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Initially a delight, but finally, a narrative mess.

The National Parks: America's Best Idea

Far, far better would have been to make a 2.5 hour documentary, comprised of the entire last episode and smatterings of the previous five.

The Gay Divorcee

If I were Ginger Rogers, I'd hate those costumes. So hot in all that foofera, you can't see her feet, and didn't they make her trip?

Glee: Season 1, Volume 2

I am certain Kurt's dad has done more for gay rights than any other TV or movie character. Ever.

Stargate SG-1: Season 6

Corin Nemec, such a... nice boy. Never could you dream of filling Shanks' shoes.

The Secret in Their Eyes

Formalistic, but certainly not formulaic. Best thriller I've seen all year, or even last year.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1305806/ (Original title: El Secreto de Sus Ojos)

The Blind Side

Yes, it was a tearjerker. Yes, it was a comedy. Yes, it was elevated by Bullock.

A Serious Man

This IS about fate, right? What else could those final two scenes be saying?

Whip It

Someone had entirely too much fun making their movie.
