The Best Shots of the Decade: 2010

-
This month, I wanted to start sharing "Decade" posts celebrating the 2010's. It's extra fitting that this year is the 10 anniversary of Rambling Film. I decided to split up each year, with 10 gifs from 10 different films. Here are some shots that stood out to me. Let's get a start on 2010.

 Inception

Black Swan

 Never Let Me Go

 127 Hours

 Scott Pilgrim vs The World

 Shutter Island

 The Social Network

 Fish Tank

 Blue Valentine

How To Train Your Dragon

      Thank you! Never Let Me Go was gorgeous it was hard to just chose one shot.

    Yeah, I can't say no to these choices as I'm planning to do something for the 2010s really soon as it's likely to happen in 2022 just so I can catch up on the 2010s films that I've missed so far...

      Ohh cool! I'd love to see how we match up. 2022 is a long ways away though!

      It was, easily one of the strongest of the decade.

    Holy shit I love this. So we can expect 9 more of these posts!? So so cool.

    And great choices for 2010. Mara’s face in that shot is incredible, and I love that Blue Valentine gif!

      Yes! Every Monday and Friday..2019 will have to be later because I'm sure everything I love won't be available to gif yet.

      Blue Valentine is such a beautiful film but I find it hard to re-watch because it's so sad.

    Love them! From your list, my favorites are Inception and How to train a dragon! My own list would probably include something from Steve McQueen (Shame) and from Park Chan-wook (Handmaiden)

    Inception, Black Swan & Scott Pilgrim vs The World knocked it out of the park visually. A great year for cinema. I want to buy a spinning top if I see one somewhere. Maybe when Nolan gets his own museum like Kubrick :)

      I'm such a sucker for HTTYD, those films just worked for me so well.

    I love that shot from The Social Network. Rooney Mara has the best face, and Fincher so gets that. And how perfect a shot to capture the theme of that film. The villain that is Zuckerberg in one look.

      YES. It's one of my favorites of all time, she was just perfect and said so much with that one look.

    Awesome picks! I'll never forget the ending to Inception and how it kept everyone on edge when the credits hit. All of these selections are pretty perfect. Nice to see Fish Tank included - it's really underrated.

      I love Inception, such a wonderful film. I miss seeing JGL in movies. Fish Tank is so underrated. I'm going to have to watch it again soon.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-

Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
