2. Black Swan: Pure genius. Darren Aronofsky shows his brilliance once again. Had it been up to me, I would easily have given this Best Picture Oscar. DO NOT MISS IT, unless you have a weak mind. There were times when I actually physically flinched.
3. True Grit: Slightly boring in parts but still worth a watch. Hailee Steinfeld, Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges shine in their performances.
4. The Social Network: Fast-paced and completely engrossing movie, simply excellent soundtrack and brilliant acting.
5. The King's Speech: Slow, which might be mistaken as boring for some. But period dramas require a slow pace. Colin Firth truly deserves Best Actor. Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter should have gotten Best Supporting, if you ask me. Excellent movie.
5. The Kids Are Alright: Good movie. Watch it if you can get your hands on it. Excellent performance by Annette Bening.
6. The Fighter: Excellent. Melissa Leo and Christian Bale shine. Mark Wahlberg in his element.
7. Happythankyoumoreplease: Josh Radnor's directorial and acting debut. Not bad.
8. Hot Fuzz: Lots of guns. Plus guys with English accents. What more could I ask for?
9. Ishqiya: Excellent. If Indian cinema takes a cue from this movie and follows its direction, I would be a much happier person.
10. Once: Little known movie. Irish man, Czech woman. Please try to get a hold of it and watch it. And once you're done, download the soundtrack.
11. Pineapple Express: Laughed out loud countless number of times in this movie. Typical Seth Rogen-James Franco flick. Watch it.
12. Rec: Spanish horror film. Do not make the same mistake I did and watch it alone at night.
13. Stranger than Fiction: Saw it recently for the second time. Obscure Emma Thomas-Will Ferell movie. Also stars Dustin Hoffman and Queen Latifah. PLEASE watch it. Excellent plotline, amazing execution.
14. The Butterfly Effect: Nice idea but I didn't think they carried it out as well as they could have. Watch it though, if only for the pop culture value.
