This was another easy one. I just googled all the films that were released in 2010 and this one popped right out at me. And - it gave me an excuse to add these films in my list. :)
I don't watch a lot of obscure films. I'm pretty mainstream in my movie choices - other than my horror movies. I picked this movie because it was originally a Swedish horror movie and was a remake. It only made about $12 million - so I'm guessing a lot of people have never seen it. It wasn't bad. A bit slow - but the cinematography was really good.
I honestly didn't know what consituted an independent film versus a regular film. So, I googled "Independent Films" and just thought I'd see if I'd seen any of them. Luckily, not only had I seen several of them, but one of my favorite movies was on the independent list.
Great movie...and if you haven't seen it - a twist that you will never see coming.
Like the Romantic and Documentary catagories, I don't watch a lot of foreign language movies. I can actually only think of 2 movies I've watched over the past 10-15 years that are completely spoken in a foreign language...not just subtitles when the Hispanic or Japanese character comes on the screen. One of them is The Passion of the Christ - which is an amazing movie - but it's not my favorite...probably because I ended up sobbing through the last half of the movie and I tend to watch movies to enjoy them...not to be distraught by the end of it. So...the winner is...
Interestingly enough...both foreign language films that I have seen are Mel Gibson movies. Just noticed that one... Great film though.
I don't watch a lot of documentaries but I will watch just about anything having to do with nature or animals. I absolutely love the National Geographic series that they have put out. This was not a hard decision.
