Daybreakers

Atlanta Creative Loafing
01/06/10 Excellent "...stylish, grown-up.... has enough intelligence, action, gore and campiness to satisfy horror buffs and general moviegoers alike."
2.

Cop Out

Atlanta Creative Loafing
02/26/10 Weak "Toward the end, the film moves beyond predictable until you want it to just wrap up as neatly as possible - unfortunately, it does neither."
3.

Brooklyn's Finest

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/05/10 Excellent "What sets 'Finest' apart is the way Fuqua seamlessly weaves the characters and their multiple story arcs together.... amazing performances..."
4.

Repo Men

Atlanta Creative Loafing
03/19/10 Weak "...gets bogged down with the emotionally charged drivel from Law's bad-guy-gone-good Remy and his and Jake's awkward co-dependency."
5.

The Joneses

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/14/10 Weak "It's unclear whether 'The Joneses' is an attempt at dark comedy or ambitious social drama."
6.

Death at a Funeral (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/16/10 Good (Not Great) "LaBute was smart enough to leave Dean Craig's central story alone and instead focus the energy around an amazing ensemble cast.... a smart and laugh-out-loud movie..."
7.

The Losers

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/21/10 Weak "...thumbs up for delivering a satisfying mashup of explosive action and light-hearted fun, but hands down, it sorely lacks the glue to sensibly hold the whole thing together."
8.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
04/30/10 Weak "Aside from a few jumpy moments to keep you squirming in your theater seat, this remake has little to offer."
9.

Just Wright

Atlanta Creative Loafing
05/14/10 Good (Not Great) "Sanaa Hamri matches a great ensemble cast and uniquely stylized shots to keep the audience in the game that makes this film an overall slam dunk."
10.

The Karate Kid (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
06/10/10 Excellent "Jackie Chan goes above and beyond to deliver surprisingly compassionate and powerful acting akin to his predecessor in the same role."
11.

Salt

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/28/10 Good (Not Great) "...chock full of bold action and often predictable twists that envelope the cast of characters in this exciting chess game between superpowers."
12.

Charlie St. Cloud

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/30/10 Weak "What starts out as a sappy love letter between brothers slowly, and I mean slowly, turns into a sappy, melodramatic farce... a drawn out bore..."
13.

Dinner for Schmucks

Atlanta Creative Loafing
07/30/10 Weak "...derails by just going too far -- never knowing when to rein in the sheer onslaught of buffoonery."
14.

Devil (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
09/16/10 Poor "There's no salvation for this M. Night Shyamalan inspired horror."
15.

Alpha and Omega

Atlanta Creative Loafing
09/17/10 Poor "Aside from a few funny moments this movie is a fair movie for babysitting, but unfortunately, completely forgettable."
16. 09/23/10 Good (Not Great) "Director Zack Snyder makes a stunning and dramatic leap with his animation directorial debut..."
17.

Megamind

Atlanta Creative Loafing
11/04/10 Good (Not Great) "...satirical pop culture slugfest has heart, jokes and some clever 3D action to have you laughing and ultimately cheering in the end."
18.

Unstoppable (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
11/11/10 Good (Not Great) "...a nonstop thrill ride and a satisfying payoff in the end."
19.

Burlesque (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
11/25/10 Good (Not Great) "At best, it's campy, predictable and pedestrian. Even with so much missing, its still quite entertaining and really fun."
20.

The Tourist (2010)

Atlanta Creative Loafing
12/10/10 Weak "...cat and mouse film regrettably feels more like a stripped down version of the worst Bond film, without the 007. In other words, a pompous bore."
