Films Reviewed in 2010

Films we've seen in 2010 that were worth reviewing [Updated: 4.14.10] Baraka (1992) Devils On the Doorstep (2000), China, bw The Hurt Locker (2009) Junebug (2005) The Kite Runner (2007) The Namesake (2006) Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941) The Promise (2005) China Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002), Australia Red Cliff (2008) China Rendition (2007) The Triplets of Belleville (2003) France-Belgium-Can.-UK Together (2002) China Under the Sun (1998), Sweden United 93 (2006) Up (2009) Up In the Air (2009) We of the Never Never (1982) Australia Where In the World Is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) Among those we chose not to review, The Hangover was the most disappointing; hardly a laugh, it's baffling to think that films like that can make so much money and thus perpetuate the trend. The best of these: Baraka, Devils on the Doorstep, Hurt Locker, The Namesake, Rabbit-Proof Fence, Together, Triplets of Belleville, Under the Sun, United 93
