A Top Ten for 2010.


Whats shorter and sweeter than a Top Eleven List? Don't you dare say top ten. Who said top ten? Top tens are so last millennium. Also noted will be the type of film that they are. Why? Cuz who's gonna stop me.

While I've not seen every movie released in 2010, I have seen enough to constitute a top 11 list. 

And here. We. Go. 

12. The Fighter
11. Predators (Sequel)
10. TRON: Legacy (Sequel)
9. Toy Story 3 (threequel)

6. The Town
5. Daybreakers
