100 Movies in 2010 - 100/100
100 movies done, in the nick of time! I won't be participating in 2011, I need a break in order to build up a new stash of movies I want to see, instead of forcing myself to watch things in order to hit the 100.
2011 is going to be the year of Rewatching and Nostalgia. I got Scrubs season 8 for Christmas which means I can watch it from start to finish. There are many DVDs I have had for ages but haven't watched because I've been on a "No! New things only!" kick so there's going to be no pressure in 2011!
91. Inception (12.12.10) 7/10
I think it had been a bit overhyped to me but I still enjoyed it.
92. The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader (19.12.10) 6/10
It was fine, but nothing special. And I missed Peter and Susan - I know they're not meant to be in that one but I just love the dynamic between the four of them.
93. Clue (20.12.10) 7/10
One to cross off the list of " movies I should have seen but never have" list! The only one this year, I think! I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
94. Despicable Me (20.12.10) 7/10
I liked this, the story was quite sweet and it made me laugh in places. And the kids were so cute!
95. Four Christmases (27.12.10) 4/10
This is what happens: I've had Sky Movies for a week, and I end up finding myself going "Eh, it's on, I like Reece Witherspoon, I'll watch it! No. No more. This is the kind of reason why I'm not doing 100 in 2011!
96. Unanswered Prayers (27.12.10) 5/10
Typical sickly romantic drama. Good cast - Eric Close and Madchen Amick - but wouldn't recommend it to anybody.
97. The Grinch (28.12.10) 5/10
I'd never seen this before. I can't believe that's Taylor Momsen! Other than that, though, it was a bit dull, and a bit long.
98. Fantastic Mr Fox (28.12.10) 7/10
Really good! The animation was gorgeous and it was a good way to make a short book into a full length film without dragging it out.
99. The Other Boleyn Girl (29.12.10) 6/10
Don't really like ScarJo, but she was good in this, as was Natalie. Very different from the book though.
100. Monsters Vs Aliens (30.12.10) 7/10
Decent, nothing special though. Good enough to get the honour of number 100 though!

Now back to work! I've got me some deaths to plan!
ETA: Scratch that, nothing is happening at work yet, so I'm going to to the end of year movie roundup too:
Best:
9/10 went to Toy Story 3, Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Honourable mentions to 8/10s that were very close to getting 9/10: Drones, Whip It, Julie & Julia, and Up In the Air.
Worst
1/10: Outpost. Far and away the worst thing I saw this year.
Honourable mentions to Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and Fire Serpent which had enough redeeming features to not be 1/10, but still only scraped 2/10.
