Ben, I've got no problem with your 2010 list. Prodigal Sons and Alamar are both technically 2009 films as far as my strict new accounting goes. Besides those two, I still haven't seen Blue Valentine, Never Let Me Go, Black Swan, or 180° South.
Like I emailed you the other day, Catfish totally underwhelmed me. Part of it was the hype, sure, but part of my dislike is the adoption of an attitude of self-importance not only by the filmmakers in the press, but throughout the film. They really think they're all that and a Big Mac. But, I don't think there's a memorable shot in this thing and the story and people didn't grab me. What's left?
You need to see Uncle Boonmee. THAT'S the Catfish movie of the year.
