A Decade of Teen Movies

A Decade of Teen Movies
The best teen movies reflect modern youth culture and alter it—they transform the vernacular, fashion, and the trajectory of the genre itself. They are original and smart (even mid-dick joke). Some are raunchy comedies, some are stark dramas, some defy classification, but all are unflinchingly honest (even mid-dick joke). Most likely to influence future filmmakers: Brick (2005) Writer-director Rian Johnson overhauled the teen genre, the noir, and blew everyone’s mind by setting this brilliant whodunit in a high school. Most likely to cause a lot of ill-advised sweater fondling: Wet Hot American Summer (2001) All right, so almost everyone in the cast is over thirty but this endlessly quotable parody of all of those late 1970s, early 1980s camp movies like Meatballs and Little Darlings is the ultimate (penis-in-vagina), dick cream coated love letter to the teen genre. Most likely to be seen as the defining moment of Mandy Moore’s acting career: Saved!

Art Documentaries 2011 Comic-Con Cosplay Winner: Lady Two-Face Out of all the cosplay costumes at this year's San Deigo Comic-Con, this one easily takes the cake. The makeup on Lady Two-Face is flawless and the transformation between both sides of her face is shockingly awesome. Edit: Thanks to Reddit user sweetloris, we found out who Lady Two-Face really is! Her name is Meagan Marie and according to her website, she works at Crystal Dynamics by day, reads comics at night, and runs around in costumes on the weekend. Sounds like the perfect woman... Special thanks to the Reddit community for always being so helpful!

I can reel off the best foreign films of the year without pause and feel fairly confident that I haven’t missed anything notable, but best of the decade? Adding to the difficulty is the fact that of the thousands of films released each year in other countries very few of them actually ever reach our shores in any official capacity. Then there’s the issue of release dates… do I use the year the film was first released or the year it finally reached the US? There’s way too much gray area here, so we’re going to simplify things a bit. This is my list of the best foreign language films of the past ten years, and I highlight that ownership because I don’t expect it to look too similar to lists put out by most other critics. 3-Iron(Kim Ki-duk, South Korea 2004) Amelie(Jean-Pierre Jeunet, France 2001) Damn I love this movie.

Year in Review: The Best Foreign Films of 2010 | Film School Rejects Welcome to my list of the best foreign films of the year! In case you’re wondering why certain films appear to be missing there are a few factors to take into account. First, films like Mother, A Prophet, The Good the Bad the Weird, and The Secret In Their Eyes are movies that made previous lists. Second, I haven’t seen everything that was released this year. I kid. But seriously, these are my picks for the ten best foreign language movies of the year in alphabetical order. About Elly (Iran) A group of friends take a weekend trip, but when one of them goes missing the truth about who she was gets lost in a haze of suspicion, judgment, and fear. Bedevilled (South Korea) An ugly incident in the city sends a woman home to the rural island where she grew up, but she discovers life there has become a living hell for her childhood friend. Enter the Void (France) A young American in Japan dies, but his spirit continues on as he once made a promise to never leave his sister again.
