Most movies have been released in 2010, but I thought I would take time to highlight 10 small-seen gems that can be obtained at this time outside of Netflix. Save money and find some terrible movies if my list to fill your queue.
10) Mysterious Skin "My favorite director (Gregg Araki) and his best movie ever. Mysterious Skin is about two children together by a horrible childhood trauma. In the graphic curves, disturbing, however, full of beauty and hope it is one of the best films of the decade. Joseph Gordon Leavitt (no longer that kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun) is nothing short of amazing.
9) Shoes-Dead Man's Paddy Considine is excellent in this brutal revenge drama from director Shane Meadows. The film is about the search for a brother for revenge after his mentally challenged brother is brutally by some thugs in the UK Midlands squalid camps. Some critics have mistakenly called this an art-house torture porn, but is light years better and more convincing than anything the overrated Eli Roth could never happen.
8) The frailty Frailty is a gem of terror starring and directed by Bill Paxton. A macabre tale of a loving father who apparently believes that he and his children are God's hands. He looks for people who believe that demons and cut into pieces. period detail and quality, especially young people, is about the fragility of religious devotion out of control and became madness. A must.
7) In Bruges - In Bruges is the best script last year and the best quality of the career of Colin Farrell. Smart, brutal, funny and extremely violent, is Guy Ritchie is trying to do, and keeps avoiding him. One of the best films of last year.
6) Smiley Face - Director Gregg Araki's latest film is a very funny stoner comedy starring Anna Faris cool. Sublime silly movie that went straight to DVD, though it is much funnier than many comedy movies that get released these days.
5) rules of the game - a sharp and funny look at some unpleasant sharply spoiled college students courtesy of Bret Easton Ellis, author and director and screenwriter Roger Avary. This is probably the best film adaptations to date, Ellis (American Psycho with Christian Bale is an excellent one to do) and despite lothsome characters, I loved every moment entertainig impressive and the film.
4) Sex Drive - The teen sex comedy is updated with hilarious results. Surprisingly, it was a box office flop, but was easily the funniest movie of last year. The drivers are nice and fun, James Marsden, but all steals the whole movie as homophobic bully older brother. Seth Green gives strong support as a sarcastic Amish smarmy know it all. RUMPSRINGA!
3) mirror mask Alice in Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz by Neil Gaiman. MirrorMask is a fantasy film exciting and well acted, for teenagers and adults. The worlds created are original and stars Stephanie Leonidas is perfect as the punk goth emo who wants to flee their creepy circus there and get more than you ever expected.
2) Cashback - original and visually stunning comedy / drama about a young man breaks up with his pretty girlfriend and finds out who has the ability to stop time. Your insomnia produces an opportunity for him to paint subjects randomly frozen in time and the movie could be scary in the wrong hands, ends up being nice and something worth pursuing. All accessories are the director to make a low budget feature look like something with a bigger budget.
1) This Is England - The writer and director Shane Meadows returns with an autobiographical look at his childhood and his alliance with a gang of young hooligans skinheads. Well spoken, sometimes hard to see, and forcing fund, This Is England may be on the UK, but its themes of racial intolerance and hatred could take place anywhere in any country at any time. Could have been called This is America. The film is brilliant, blistering stuff.
