Memories : The Best Films of the 2010s

Only a few years into my tenure as a film blogger, and I’ve been tasked with a monumental undertaking : ranking the top films of the last decade. Reflecting year by year is a journey in its own right, and with things like recency bias to take into account, plus the dice roll of blessing and curse that perspective and time bring to older films, I knew that this would be memorable at best, and stressful at worst.

That being said, I don’t claim to have seen every movie, so I know that there are some ‘glaring’ omissions. I am always open to recommendations for films I should watch (for the purpose of blogging on them or otherwise), but DOOMonFILM has always been about my personal experience as a film fan, first and foremost. Discussion is welcome, and constructive criticism will always be considered, but this is one man’s opinion.

_________________________________________

THOUGHTS ON THE DECADE

The 2010s, despite moments of controversy in terms of diversity, turned out to be surprisingly forward-thinking in hindsight. On more than one occasion in the decade, the film of the year (in terms of awards or in terms of critical/public reception), as well as highlight films of each year, were made by foreign directors. Women and minorities also managed to be recognized in front of and behind the camera at what seemed like a higher rate. Newer technologies were embraced, such as pushes forward in new cameras or directors opting to shoot on devices as small as iPhones, leaps forward in special effects, and a multitude of movies given the iMax treatment. A handful of directors happened to put out multiple movies throughout the decade, and a few of those in that handful managed to make multiple award-winning and widely accepted films. Marvel left such an impact on Hollywood, and the worldwide movie industry, that DC was forced to try and follow suit, and mergers with Sony and Disney were top tier news for months on end. Actors like Scarlett Johanson, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone and Leonardo DiCaprio, among others, solidified themselves as box-office legends, while actors on both sides of their career (first-timers and those in the twilight of their career) found success throughout the decade. All in all, it was a decade that continued to make me happy to be a movie fan, and as hard as it was to do, I managed to find 100 films throughout the decade to rank.

_________________________________________

10. The Last Black Man in San Francisco (dir. Joe Talbot, 2019)

I saw this film as the decade was winding to a close, but it made easily one of the starkest impressions on me of any film-going experience I can recall. The movie looks amazing, the score and soundtrack are powerful, the acting is rich and dynamic, San Francisco is as beautiful on film as it is in real life, and the thoughts that arise from the narrative presented are the kind that hang around and result in personal changes that matter. A shining achievement from a stellar year of film.

_________________________________________

9. Inception (dir. Christopher Nolan, 2010)

If Christopher Nolan wasn’t already considered top tier prior to Inception, any doubters were left floored at the close of this masterpiece. For a story that could have easily been way too convoluted for standard audiences, the visuals, direction and pacing guide us through the madness perfectly. For anyone interested in dream depictions on cinema, for fans of stellar action, and for the smart people who know the quality that comes with the Nolan name, this one was a no-brainer.

_________________________________________

8. mother! (dir. Darren Aronofsky, 2017)

After being a bit on the nose with Noah, in terms of a film on religion, most directors would take that as a sign to move on from the topic. For a director like Darren Aronofsky, however, the next step was to seemingly go back to your mind-scrambling roots, dig deeper symbolically, narratively and metaphorically, and come back to the table with one of the most divisive and controversial films of the decade. mother! will clearly be a film ripe for analysis for years to come, and for as subjective and deep an experience as the film is, this reflection is welcome, as it serves to enrich future viewing experiences.

_________________________________________

7. Uncut Gems (dir. Josh and Benny Safdie, 2019)

How long does a film have to be out to be considered one of the best of the decade? In the case of Uncut Gems, I will allow recency bias, as it is clearly evident at the beginning of the closing credits that the film is special and will resonate for years to come. The Safdie brothers already had a classic under their belt with Good Time, and throwing that Sandler magic into the mix only amplifies their heightened and immersive style.

_________________________________________

6. The Florida Project (dir. Sean Baker, 2017)

There are a small fraternity of directors that put out their first films and follow-up films in the 2010s, and while examples of possible award snubs can be found for these directors, there was one clear-cut case of oversight : the 2017 lack of recognition for Sean Baker’s immaculate, beautiful and moving The Florida Project. While Tangerine was certainly the loudest of warning shots a first time director could provide, the amount of growth, nuance and confidence found in this follow-up deserved multiple awards, not just an acting nod for Willem Dafoe. Perhaps Baker’s next film will bring him the recognition he deserves in terms of awards, but he’s already made a clear cut name for himself.

_________________________________________

5. Hereditary (dir. Ari Aster, 2018)

I rediscovered a love for horror films in the 2010s, and a key reason would be the emergence of director Ari Aster. Upon seeing trailers for Hereditary, I knew that it would probably scare the life out of me, but the taste of the story given was so gripping I had to see it. The fact that the trailer was so powerful, only for the movie to unfold in ways that I never would have imagined or discerned from the trailer, was one of the most rewarding film experiences of the decade. Toni Collette also gave a performance for the ages.

_________________________________________

4. You Were Never Really Here (dir. Lynne Ramsay, 2018)

It’s arguable that Joaquin Phoenix may have had the strongest decade of any actor, and for my money’s worth, he was at his best in You Were Never Really Here. Much of the angst presented was previously explored in The Master, and as great as Joker is, it’s essentially the DCEU version of You Were Never Really Here, tonally and in terms of specific elements. Nobody short of the Safdie brothers are making movies that look, sound and feel like this one, and the unfortunate practice of human trafficking hitting the news forefront makes this film as timely as it is sad.

_________________________________________

3. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (dir. Edgar Wright, 2010)

Hands down the coolest film of the decade. Not since Who Framed Roger Rabbit? had so many elements that I loved from other properties managed to find their way into the same movie, and the way that the gumbo was prepared and served was pitch perfect. As my friend Erin stated after we viewed the film, ‘If you watch this movie and don’t like it, I don’t think we can be friends’. Some of my favorite sequences of any film are in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and this is the EXACT kind of film I look forward to one day sharing with my children.

_________________________________________

2. Parasite (dir. Bong Joon-ho, 2019)

Another recent film that made an instant impact. In terms of topics like honesty, entitlement, and family dynamics, nothing I can think of in recent memory is touching Parasite. The parallels between the two families presented are perfect both visually and in the performances, and with each new bit of information presented, much of what you were previously presented is immediately recontextualized and put into question. This film, from front to back, is one of the most gripping journeys a filmgoer can take.

_________________________________________

1. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (dir. Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2014)

Easily my favorite film of the decade. This is the closest thing to a song-poem that I’ve ever seen presented on film, and it’s heartbreakingly beautiful. Nothing else released in the decade looked or sounded like this film, and the way it meta-reflects on Hollywood, Broadway, superhero films and the importance of actors is equal parts hilarious, thought-provoking and wonderfully frustrating. The film answers enough questions it posits so as to not completely confound the viewer, but it leaves enough open-ended so that repeat viewings are rewarding. A true achievement of film, regardless of decade.

touch of your love// jonah marais

request: jonah imagine where you’re a professional dancer for little mix and at an awards show you dance to touch or reggaeton lento and you have to get close to your dance partner and he doesn’t get jealous until the boys start commenting on his lack of jealousy

okay so i did research and figured out that little mix in fact does not have female back up dancers, only male. so like pretend that instead of the girls dancing with the mixer men, it’s the backup dancers. also this is such a fun thing and i love jealous jonah so heheh

also it’s almost midnight but fuck it here ya go enjoyyyyy

this is also very unedited so soz

tags: @noodleswdw @thatssoherron @boomboomboomwayhoo

pairing: jonah x fem!reader

triggers: none

y/n shook her nerves from her body as she stood on the side of the stage, anxiously awaiting for the performance. she was dressed in her stage clothes, which was nothing more than a sparkly bodysuit, a pair of fishnet tights, and some high heels.

she stayed still, staring at the lit up stage which was currently buzzing with assistants and awards show personnel, since the show was currently on commercial break.

the ginormous screen placed on the walls held the letters “BBMAS” standing for the iconic, famous billboard music awards. she was dancing backup for little mix, one of the biggest girl bands in the world, at one of the most famous music awards shows in the world. talk about pressure.

she bit her lip, tugging at the flesh so hard she nearly drew blood.

“y/n babe, calm down,” a british accent rung in her ears, and y/n turned around to see perrie right behind her, dressed in her wardrobe for the night and looking as beautiful as ever. “you’re gonna do amazing,” perrie walked to where y/n was and wrapped an arm around her, squeezing tightly in affection.

“thank perrie, i’m just nervous that’s all. it’s the first big awards show i’m dancing at and it’s very nerve-wracking that’s all,” y/n bit her lip once more, staring out onto the giant stage that she was going to be on in a matter of minutes.

“it’s a good thing that you’re an amazing dancer, because you are going to do phenomenal.” perrie smiled at y/n, about to say something else before she was interrupted by a stage hand yelling for their thirty second call. “well i should get going to my spot, good luck y/n, you’re gonna do amazing!” and with that, perrie ran off to where the rest of the band was.

the music sounded, causing screams to elicit from the crowd, which signaled that the commercial break was over. this was it.

jonah adjusted his bow tie as he sat in his seat, awaiting for the commercial break to end. after that, his beautiful girlfriend would be performing, and he couldn’t wait.

he had never seen her perform with little mix before, due to his touring schedule and hers. and he was as excited as ever to cheer on his baby at the billboard music awards.

loud music sounded through the arena, signaling that the commercial break was over. jonah smiled widely, he could finally watch his girlfriend slay the stage.

“-and without further ado, this is little mix with their hit song, touch!” the announcer yelled, before the stage went dark and the crowd went wild.

the first beats of the song sounded, leigh-anne immediately beginning to sing. the little mix girls appeared on stage, with their back-up dancers in tow.

jonah’s jaw dropped at the sight of y/n, who was doing her choreography in perfect sync with the rest of the dancers. she looked absolutely stunning, with a perfect smile plastered on her face as her body moved to the music. she hit every single one of her moves perfectly, any sign of her previous nerves not showing the moment she stepped foot onto stage.

jonah’s eyes never left her form, and he had to be physically shaken out of his daze by zach to notice that all the boys were staring at him.

“dude, how are you not jealous right now?” zach managed to say over the loud commotion, causing jonah’s brows to furrow in confusion.

“why should i be jealous? she’s just doing her job,” jonah questioned, sending zach a confused look. y/n was just dancing, what was the harm?

“bro, your girlfriend is literally onstage practically grinding on some guy that isn’t you on live, national television. why shouldn’t you be jealous?” jack commented from the other side of jonah, gesturing to the stage.

the song was at the second chorus by now, and jonah was finally realizing how risque the choreography was. y/n’s dance partner’s hands roaming her torso, and her hands on his. she had done a move that was particularly sexy, with her hips moving onto her partner, his hands grazing over her backside ever so slightly before moving on to the next move.

something deep inside jonah ignited, seeing his girlfriend being touched like that by a person that wasn’t him.

“you’re right,” he mumbled, his eyes fixated on y/n’s body as she twisted and turned against her partner. jonah’s fists clenched tightly and his chest felt compressed, anger and jealousy seeping into his bloodstream.

his blue eyes darkened, the veins in his neck and arms becoming more prominent than ever. he bit his lip, staring as her dance partner’s hands skimmed across her thighs.

jonah’s previous excitement had faded away, being replaced with a cold enviousness. he was the only person who could touch y/n like that. he was the only one who could see her move her body that way.

“-just the touch of your love.” the last words were sung, and the crowd went crazy. jonah clapped and hollered, but with less enthusiasm as he would if his stomach wasn’t bubbling with jealousy.

the show went on to present some more awards, with y/n finally making her way from backstage during a commercial to her seat next to jonah as his plus one.

she smoothed out her fancy dress and sat down in her seat, her hair and makeup fixed after her intense performance.

“hey babe,” she greeted her boyfriend, leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek.

he took no time in smashing his lips onto hers, not even taking the time to greet her back. he took y/n completely by surprise, her eyes widening a bit. she kissed back nonetheless. she pulled away, completely breathless and a confused look on her face.

“what was that for?” she stared at her boyfriend, who now had a bit of lipstick smudged on his lips. she leaned over and wiped it off, still giving a look to her boyfriend.

“i-” he was at a loss for words, his jealousy still lingering but slowly being replaced with guilt on how he felt. “i’m sorry, i just saw you up there with your dance partner and his hands were all over you and the moves were way more sexual than i thought they would be and you looked so good and i guess i got jealous-” he rambled, his cheeks reddening a bit as he finally realized how ridiculous he was acting.

“babe,” she cut him off, smiling a bit. “jealousy is natural. do you think i don’t feel jealous every time i see a fan get just a bit too cozy with you, or when an interviewer gets a little too personal? just know that i’m completely, 100% yours and nothing will ever change that, okay?” she kissed him again, but this time softer and more heartfelt than the last one.

“okay, and i’m sorry i acted so weird. i know it’s just your job and i shouldn’t be jealous but i guess it just happened,” jonah bit his lip, making y/n laugh.

“i understand babe, it’s okay. let’s just enjoy the rest of the night okay?” he nodded and took her hand, kissing it lightly.

“i’m glad that jonah isn’t a giant green monster now, but the commercial break is almost over and we have an award to present,” daniel called out, taking jonah’s arm and pulling him out of his seat.

“good luck babe!” y/n called out to her boyfriend, who was being dragged up to the stage by the boys.

“thanks babe!” jonah managed to get out before being pushed onstage, the music signaling the end of the break being blasted through the speakers.

“welcome back to the billboard music awards!”

off the rack #1187

Monday. November 6, 2017

I've reached the age where there is no avoiding life's less appealing realities, death and taxes. Reading provides a pleasant respite but I can't hide behind a comic book forever. Lucky for me I have a lot of other good things like family and friends to balance out the bad.

Charles Soule and Mark Waid are the two writers dominating the comic books that I took to read last week. I'm still a big art fan but bad writing can still turn me off a book even if it's drawn by one of my favourite artists. Lucky for me it seems like my favourite artists only work with good writers.

Power Pack #63 - Devin Grayson (writer) Marika Cresta (art) Chris O'Halloran (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). I enjoyed the original series when it hit the racks in 1984 and thought it was cool that June Brigman modelled the kids' parents after Louise and Walt Simonson. Marika Cresta's art is really nice in this one shot and she doesn't change the look of the kids much as an older Katie recounts a fight with a super villain in a story she wrote for a school writing assignment. I liked this a lot and would recommend it for younger readers.

Superman #34 - Peter J. Tomasi & Patrick Gleason (writers) Ed Benes, Doug Mahnke & Jack Herbert (art) Dinei Ribeiro (colours) Rob Leigh (letters). Part 2 of "Imperius Lex" starts off with the wily Lex Luthor pulling the old switcheroo to weasel out of being proclaimed the new ruler of Apokalips. Then we catch up with how Lois and Jon are dealing with being stuck on this unforgiving planet. I really like how feisty mother and son are.

Archie #25 - Mark Waid (writer) Audrey Mok (art) Kelly Fitzpatrick (colours) Jack Morelli (letters). The end of this issue is a classic cliffhanger that will result in a lot of drama for Archie and the gang. I hear that Betty and Jughead are romantically involved in the TV show. Sacrilege, I say.

Captain America #695 - Mark Waid (writer) Chris Samnee (art) Matthew Wilson (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). I'm giving good old Cap another look see because it's being done by the team that made Daredevil a delight to read for quite a while. This issue recaps the origin and has Captain America fighting white supremacists. I like the message that everybody can be a hero so I'm putting this title back in the reading line up.

Batman #34 - Tom King (writer) Joelle Jones (art) Jordie Bellaire (colours) Clayton Cowles (letters). I love the Cat and the Bat fighting together. When Batman's ex shows up things get real. There's an emphasis on family in this story and people are being forced to behave in ways that they would not normally. That is what is making this fun for me.

Paper Girls #17 - Brian K. Vaughn (writer) Cliff Chiang (art) Matthew Wilson (colours) Jared K. Fletcher (letters). This series goes way out on a limb here by including time travelers from 70,000 AD. I'll be surprised if mankind makes it to 3000 AD what with the extreme weather changes and global political turmoil happening. I hope we get to the end of this story before the end of the world as we know it.

Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man #6 - Chip Zdarsky (writer) Michael Walsh (art) Ian Herring (colours) VC's Travis Lanham (letters). I only read this issue for the super big secret reveal that I was told was in here and yes, I agree that it was a monumental moment in Spider-Man history. I liked how Chip captured the emotions of both Peter and Jonah as they argued about power and responsibility. This issue impressed me enough to put this title back in the reading line up.

Batman White Knight #2 - Sean Murphy (writer & artist) Matt Hollingsworth (colours) Todd Klein (letters). This Joker versus Batman story for mature readers is super cool. The appearance of the Harley Quinns took me by surprise. Harleen Quinzel is a lovely piece of eye candy.

Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 - Charles Soule (writer) Giuseppe Camuncoli (pencils) Daniele Orlandini (inks) David Curiel (colours) VC's Joe Caramagna (letters). This issue sets up a big conflict for Vader that involves an old Jedi and a mysterious secret. Hints like that will make me rush to the racks in 2 weeks to pick up the next issue.

Astonishing X-Men #5 - Charles Soule (writer) Ramon Rosanas (art) Nolan Woodard (colours) VC's Clayton Cowles (letters). The Shadow King is winning the battle to possess the souls of the X-Men but Charles has a plan. I'm curious to see if Professor X will come back from the dead after this.

Avengers #673 - Mark Waid (writer) Javier Pina with Paco Diaz (art) Rachelle Rosenberg (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Worlds Collide part 3. It's the Avengers and the Champions versus the High Evolutionary and his Ani-Men. What's going to happen to Falcon and Viv Vision in the hands of the big bad guy is what's going to get me to read part 4 when Champions #14 hits the racks in 2 weeks.

Spider-Man #234 - Brian Michael Bendis (writer) Oscar Bazaldua (art) Justin Ponsor (colours) VC's Cory Petit (letters). Sinister Six Reborn part 1. Anybody can be a super villain with the proper attire. I had to search way back in my memory banks and Google the guy to make sure, to ID the mysterious gent that gathers together the new Sinister Six. Miles is going to be busy soon and that's not even considering the drama that Bombshell junior might start bringing.

Batman: The Devastator #1 - Frank Tieri (plot) James Tynion (words) Tony S. Daniel (pencils) Danny Miki (inks) Tomeu Morey (colours) Tom Napolitano (letters). It's an obvious choice for a Batman Doomsday mash up if the objective is to kill Superman. It's what Doomsday Bat does next that makes this issue interesting. These Metal one shots are okay but they do not entice me to read any of the regular DC books that tie into the main story. I don't think I would even read these if I wasn't a Batman fan.
