The 2010 Year In Review Meme by Mike DeVito

The 2010 Year in Review Meme by Mike D.

1) 3 Favorite Movie Releases of 2010:

- Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World - A perfect movie... nothing else to say.

- Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows pt.1 - What a wonderful first part to the finale of this unreal movie franchise. I absolutely loved everything about it, and it did its job in hyping me up for the final film of the most successful franchises ever!!!

- 'Kick Ass': This is the kind of comic book movie I want to see. It is great. Millar's story is phenomenal, and Vaughn brings it to the screen magically. Also, I have two words for all you guys out there: Chloe Moretz. That little girl is gonna be huge... trust me!!!! Also, how can you not love a movie that features a batshit crazy Nic Cage being lit on fire. Wonderful.

2) Favorite Song of 2010:

'Hold Yuh' - Gyptian

3) Favorite Album of 2010:

Rhianna - Loud - Great album from a great artist. She had a good rebound year after the Chris Brown fiasco, and Love the Way you Lie, What's My Name & Only Girl were some of my favorite songs of the year. Classic.

4) Favorite "New" TV Show of 2010: AMC's The Walking Dead & No Ordinary Family

Honestly, if The Walking Dead was 12 or more episodes then it would have been a slam dunk. But 6 episodes left me wanting more. Sure, No Ordinary Family is cheesy, and schmaltzy, but guess what... I love it. Yeah its a rip of The Incredibles & The Fantastic Four... so what? Not to mention Julie Benz & Autumn Reeser. Good Lord!!!! Watch it... it's great! Also, I love Boardwalk Empire.

5) Favorite "Old" TV Show of 2010: Glee - A fun show that makes me laugh week in and week out. Plus, too many hotties to count. Quinn, Rachel, Brittney, Santana... JEEZUSSSSSS!!!

6) Best Purchase you made in 2010: My Netflix Membership - Holy fucking shit. I watch alot of Netflix. I watched over 500 movies on my Instant Streaming. 500!!! Not to mention about 10 TV series in its entirety. I use it so much, and I love it. Best 8 bucks a month that I spend....

7) New Technology that you acquired in 2010: Blu Ray Player - I have over 1,000 DVD's and don't want to upgrade but, the Blu Ray player plays DVDs (and makes them look better) and I might as well buy any movies FROM HERE ON OUT in a better format. Can't hurt... but I will not double buy anything. EVER!!!

8) Favorite Film you watched on DVD, Netflix or Cable in 2010:

'Exit Through The Gift Shop' - Phenomenal documentary, and all around excellent movie. A must see. Just missed my top 3 movies of the year. (Probably number 4 or 5).

9) Celebrity That you loved in 2010 (1 male & 1 female):

Female: Chloe Moretz - I love this kid. Sure I could have went with Scarlett Johanson or Katy Perry's wonderful TaTa's or Zooey Deschanel's wonderful baby blue eyes. But this kid stole my heart this year. She is great. In 'Kick Ass', she did just that... Kick Ass. She was great. The 'cock signal' line was so amazing, I choked on my popcorn. Great stuff. Also, see her in '500 Days of Summer' as Joe Gordon Levitt's younger sister and her starring role in 'Let Me In'. Phenomenal movie. She is so amazing. Can not wait to see her in ANYTHING she does.

Male: Robert Downey Jr. - Why RDJ you ask? Well, he is my favorite living actor and I feel he is amazing in everything he does. But I picked him here because he is a HUGE star, yet has no problem playing a supporting role ('Charlie Bartlett') or being part of an ensamble cast like he will be in The 'Avengers' (2011). He is perfect. Name me a bad Robert Downey Jr movie... can you? I am so happy that my first Blu Ray purchase was 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang', one of his most under rated performances of his story book career. Keep it up RDJ!!!

10) Celebrity That you hoped would die in a plane crash (1 male & 1 female):

Female: Kate Gosselin, Snooki, and just about every other reality show female on the planet earth. My girlfriend Tara watches a lot of reality shows... so by default I watch a lot of reality shows. One thing I noticed about almost all of them is the fact that the females tend to let it get to their heads the most and act like animals on a regular basis. Why is this? Just take the 'Jersey Shore'. Before that show started, I saw the way the guys looked and said "These guys are going to be the biggest dicks... ever!". In reality, overall they are pretty mellow and cool. The girls are heathens and animals. Especially that goblin Snooki. Grrrrrr! I hate them. If she wasn't responsible for 8 kids, I would really want Gosselin's plane to nose dive. But then they would be stuck with their tool bag father, so I wouldn't wish that on no one.

Male: Steve Martin - Why, oh why Steve? Steve Martin was one of my favorite actors of all time. He was great in everything throughout the 80's & 90's. Then he forgot how to pick roles. He should have never made that movie with Queen Latifah (it's been all downhill since then!) and the fact that he remade 'The Pink Panther' Movies should qualify him for a firing squad. He was not some young actor who took a paycheck and you can understand. He is a multi millionaire and a 30 year vet. He should have left Sellers & Blake Edwards alone. If I ever see him, I am going to smack him with a hamburger for those ridiculous scenes. He has to do some pretty remarkable work to get back in my good graces, and he can start by never making another 'Pink Panther' movie again... ever!!!!

No Ordinary Family Honors Its "Incredibles" Roots...

The Incredibles... the family

I am a huge fan of Abc's No Ordinary Family, and I am also a huge fan of Pixar's The Incredibles. There is no denying that there are similarities between the two, but this is a perfect example of what I think more producers/directors should do. Instead of remaking/rebooting something, they should just do ANOTHER show/movie with a similar premise that is its own phenomenon. The new Clash of the Titans movie was nothing like the original Clash of the Titans movie. All they shared was a title and The Kraken. So in reality, that remake was not a remake at all. So if the would have just called it "War of the Gods" or something like that, they could have avoided the uneasy feelings that were associated with the remake. This is exactly what No Ordinary Family does.



No Ordinary Family... the family

So instead of making an Incredibles TV show, or remaking an already quality movie, the producers took some of the elements that made it great (a Superhero family, dealing with new powers in regular society) and then adapted  those great features into its own entity. I really love the show. Its amazing. Julie Benz is gorgeous, and Michael Chilkis is great as well. The supporting cast is also wonderful, and they do a good job of making the show great. Season 1 is moving along swimmingly, and more people out there should look to N.O.F. for an example on how to pay an homage correctly.



No Ordinary Incredibles....



In order to pay respects to how great The Incredibles & No Ordinary Family are, Starwordsman made a Youtube mashup of the two. He took the audio of the beginning of No Ordinary Family and put it over clips of The Incredibles... the outcome is very cool. If you are not watching No Ordinary Family, you should be... make it happen. And if you have not seen The Incredibles... what the fuck are you still doing here? Go watch it... enjoy the video!!!





OHC of the Day: Autumn Reeser

Although she had a starring role on seasons 3 & 4 of the WB show The O.C., can you really honestly say you know what the character known as Taylor Townshend real name was. If you said Autumn Reeser, you would be right... and a dick because her name is in the title. I digress... Autumn Reeser is the epitome of an Obscure Hot Chick, because you know her. She has been in stuff that is main stream, but not at the forefront. Her contributions are memorable, but leave you wondering "whats that chicks name again???" over and over. She is Lizzie Grant, the agent who almost brought down super agent Ari Gold on Entourage by secretly taping him. She is also Layla, a semi reoccuring character on Fox's criminally underated The Human Target. She has been in two sequels to classic movies, Lost Boys: The Tribe & Smoking Aces 2: Assasins Ball, that both sucked major balls. But she did look hot in them. She even portrayed a character (Lisette Handley) in the video game Red Alert 3. But now she may have finally recieved a breakout role, as she is a main cast member of ABC's No Ordinary Family. Family tells the story of parents and two kids who gain superpowers after a plane crash. Reeser plays a lab tech for Dr. Mom Julie Benz... which means she is constantly on screen with Benz, and that can never be a bad thing (they are some sexy lab workers, no?). The show has been a suprise hit, and Reeser's character is integral to the show. Her role on Entourage is sure to increase n the upcoming season, and that show is almost done... and that means moving on to bigger and better things. Obscure for now, but that will likely change soon enough. Enjoy the pics.... many more after the jump by clicking Read more below!!!!
