Best of 2010 end of the decade Part 2:Top 10 Movies

ok let cut it straight to it:
Movies:

Number 10: Inception


At the beginning I couldn't make head or tails of it seriously,but then the ball of yarn started to unveil and I understood the movie pretty well,I just watched it tonight by the way right before making this post.

Number 9:Hatchi: A Dog's Tale



I learned about the story of Hachiko about a year ago or more perhaps due to a game: "The World Ends With You",which is based on shibuya a popular district in japan so they used real locations in the game,one of them of course being Hatchiko's statue on that very same district,and of course being the curious nature I had I decided to investigate about it,that and the fact that the dog resembles my own dog,bought me to see that movie.

Number 8: Grown Ups

One reason to watch this movie? Adam Sandler, my favorite comedian ever, then we had all these other funny guys like Chris Rock and Rob Schneider oh and Salma for the eye candy :3.

Number 7: Astro Boy



Yet another movie we didn't get until the start of this year(released on October in US) this was actually the first movie I watched this year,and well what can I say I grew up watching the anime and astro always reminds me to megaman in some kind of way.

Number 6: The Karate Kid
And we are down to number 6,Karate kind didn't fulfil the expectations for some people as to a decent successor of the 80s movie,but for me it did,Jackie chan in the movie was great,is kind of sad though he's getting old and he is just not the same,but I do think Jackie plays a great role as Miyagi.



Number 5: Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga hoole



Kind of interesting seeing an animated movie from the same director that made 300 and Watchmen,I liked the animations and the soundtrack provide by one of my favorite bands: Owl city, REALLY fitting.

Number 4: The Expendables



Stallone,Jet li,Statham, and Steve Austin? I'm in :3
Number 3: Tron Legacy




First thing in your mind when you think in Disney:Animated kid's movies, Tron was one of a kind back in 1984 breaking the mold,and it has become a geek icon even to this day,this movie for my outlook was a worthy successor,and the best part: The soundtrack, Daft Punk is in the house!!

Number 2: Iron Man 2


Yet another great sequel for me,at least,since a lot of people complained about the characters development and story,but let's be sincere why do pay 5$ to go to watch iron man? If you answer to see some super hero action that is correct my friend.

Number 1: Toy Story 3



A third part but a very particular one indeed,you see in cases such as Iron Man,Spider Man,Transformers and so on,you would expect sequels to come after another at least during a 1-2 years period,however disney decided to revive their older treasures such as Tron and of course Toy Story,Toy story however is far different from the case of Tron,at least for me for: 1.- in 1984 I wasn't even born yet therefore I didn't even watch the movie until many years later, and 2.- since they waited 26 years most people don't even remember it,but toy story well in my case and those of my generation was a particular case,we saw this kiddo Andy back at the end of the 2nd movie in a happy ending with his toys...and I was also the same age as Andy(I was 9,I don't remember exactly how old was andy but he looked like 9 lol) so I remember having my own buzz and woody and the toys,but then pixar played a very low blow to us..playing with that nostalgia,at the end of Toy Story 2 everybody was like: "ok I can't wait till the 3rd movie comes"....and then a year passed,then 2,3,4,5...nothing,now remember back then in 1999 and the beginning of 2000 Internet was really a luxury and something very rare only a few knew,there was no way of knowing if a movie was being develop other than magazines or Tv,but nothing,no hints or even seeing a 3 movie,and of course all hope was lost,how could disney bring a 3rd movie to that same generation who would grow up eventually into teenagers not really interested in toys anymore....but then after 10 long years in 2009 it was announced...toy story 3 would come, of course my first reaction was: really?at last!? and I'm sure I was not the only one who wanted to see it just for the nostalgia,of how 10 years back I used to laugh,play and enjoy those toys,well the day came and....surprise Andy grew up too just as we did,it was indeed as if everyone of us was watching a movie about us..growing up,going to college,giving up toys....I can say I had not felt that feeling with any other movie before,and many people of my age does hadn't either.Well played Pixar...well played.

Hope you like my top 10 on movies,but stay tuned! we are still missing the top 10 for Gadgets and Video Games!

Best of 2010 end of the decade Part 1: Introduction

I still remember back in 2000 when everybody thought we were going to die on new year's and the world would end back then on 1/1/2000 but it didn't happened(fortunately for me who was only 10 back then) the first decade of the 2000 will always be a decade of changes not only for me(going from being a 10 year old to a 20 year old,probably the best years of my life,since all goes downhill from now on :3),but for everyone else,back in 2000 I was playing my PS one,being a normal kid at school,cell phones were only for adults and they were very heavy indeed,the thought of a elementary school kid carrying a cellphone was ridiculous,and now every kid has one and they got camera,wi-fi,internet,facebook,video and mp3 players,and what-not but that's the only thing that changed,computers,video games and movies have become more complex and elaborated,I still can't believe I had to wait until I was 14 to get a cellphone that was one with the snake game and no color at all,or how everyone would play PlayStation and the graphics of such games as the final fantasy games or resident evil games were just mind blowing at the time,and then again the PS one and the Nintendo 64 were the first consoles to introduce the 3D games successfully to the market (and I do say successfully because Atari and even Nintendo through the virtual boy tried 3D but failed really hard) as for the movie industry I only remember x-men in 2000,the lord of the rings in 2001,and spider being released the very next year,I remember going to the cinema waiting a long line just to finally watch X-men and spider man in a life action movie,back then only batman and superman had made that and I never was fond of DC except for batman at times,but I really like Marvel,so X-men being the first iconic heroes of Marvel(blade debuted in 1998,but I don't like him,almost nobody knew him and I hate vampires) was awesome and since then I have only dreamt watching the Avengers some day on the cinema,and you can imagine how happy I was to watch spider man the next year then the sequel and the third part for spider man and the 4 movies for x-men so far,as well as Iron man 1 and 2,and 2011 will bring us Thor and Captain America and in 2012 my dream will finally come true...watching the avengers in a life action movie at last.And of course some t.v. shows I enjoyed as I grew up: Kenan and Kel,Are you afraid of the darkness?,Dexter's Lab,Yu gi oh and my favorite: Pokemon which stills airs up to this day and this something just amazing how the adventure continues even after all this years and of course there are some others t.v shows I will mention later.At any rate let's proceed to the purpose of this post: The best Gadgets,TV shows,Movies and of course Video games from 2000 to 2010 from my point of view some might not even be in imd or ign top tens but for me they meant a lot,without anything more to add let's proceed through this time travel....on the next part of this Post.
