Cycles or 2010: Shows and Movies

I was reading some of the old posts on my blog and I realized two things: First, life is cyclical. It can be hard to piece it all together but I've got it mostly figured. For instance, every once in a while I get a haircut that is way shorter than I intended.

The second thing I learnt is that their is a spell check for blog pots, which eye will try and use more oftener.

Finally, in the spirit of this post, I wanted to again rank the movies, plays and musicals I saw this past year. The majority are no longer out, but there were some really good ones. The color key is the same as last year:

1.) La Cage aux Folles
2.) Clybourne Park
3.) Fellowship!
4.) Brief Encounter
5.) Angels in America: Perestroika
6.) Angels in America: Millennium Approaches
7.) The Merry Wives of Windsor

9.) The Orphan’s Home Cycle: Part III
10.) The Orphan’s Home Cycle: Part II
11.) The Glass Menagerie
12.) The Divine Sister
13.) The Aliens
14.) The Burnt Part Boys
15.) If it only even Runs a Minute IV
16.) Finian’s Rainbow

42.) The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity
43.) Rock of Ages
44.) The Sneeze
45.) In the Next Room or the Vibrator Play
46.) The Picture of Dorian Gray

Wow! I saw 46 shows in 2010. Movies follow. These are only the movies I saw in theaters, and since there are so few of them, I'll include some thoughts.

1.) True Grit: I really loved the little girl!
2.) The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus: Andrew Garfield is very handsome!
3.) Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: I loved Kieran Culkin's character!
4.) I Killed My Mother: Technically, I couldn't understand this movie. I saw it in Greece. It was in Quebecoise French with Greek subtitles. I really enjoyed it though!
5.) The Secret of Kells: Let's just say that this movie doesn't portray Scandinavians in the best light.
6.) Inception
7.) The Kids Are All Right
8.) The End of Poverty?
9.) Tron: Legacy
10.) Up in the Air: This sucked! I hated it bad!
