2010 is over. No more. Done. Finito. Some are more than happy to kiss that year goodbye, while others wish it would have never ended. In the realm of movies, 2010 looked great in terms of box office receipts. However, even with the second highest grossing domestic box office of all-time ($10.5 billion) in the books, let’s just say the quality of the product put out, is far from what the numbers suggest in terms of stellar entertainment all year around. Yet 2010 did have a few exceptional moments. With all that said, here’s 20 topics, accompanied by my candid/stripped-down thoughts, on what caught my critical eyes in cinema for…

Clearly a comedy starring Rob Corddry isn’t bulletproof, but someone out there recognized the depths of his hilarity in Hot Tub Time Machine and hired the former The Daily Show with Jon Stewart correspondent to join the cast of the dramedy Butter. The film already boasts big names including Jennifer Garner and Kate Hudson, but Corddry’s comedic prowess is a welcomed addition. Just as notable as the cast is the script.

When a young orphan girl (Yara…

I’ve done a lot of interviews, but never once has the interviewee beat me to the first question. Not only did Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink throw a question my way before I could ask him one, but he asked me something totally predictable and simplistic, yet a question that caught me completely off guard. He wanted to know what I thought about his movie.

But, no, Hot Tub Time Machine has much more to…
