True Grit
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUiCu-zuAgM The stubborn 14-year-old girl, Mattie, played by Hailee Steinfeld, is one of the most memorable characters of the year. Rating: [rating: 4/5]
The Fighter
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hwv7kT9P0mg A movie about brotherhood, family and brutal but captivating boxing. Rating: [rating: 4/5]
Barney’s Version

Blue Valentine
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oiY7W7nDeE Saying "relationship is difficult" is too simple. Cindy's character is flawed. Rating: [rating: 3.5/5]
The King’s Speech
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYoSQkfrjfA Consecutive great performance year after year by Colin Firth. Rating: [rating: 3.5/5]
127 Hours
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlhLOWTnVoQ What Aron Ralston did is an ultimate test to human's courage, but it's too difficult to accommodate it in a movie. Rating: [rating: 3/5]
Black Swan
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jaI1XOB-bs Delicate, vulnerable and always frightened, this is a perfect role for Natalie Portman. The music and story of Swan Lake also provides an ideal backdrop of the movie. Rating: [rating: 4/5]
The Social Network
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB95KLmpLR4 You don't make billions of dollars without making a few enemies. Rating: [rating: 3.5/5]
Hereafter
httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDnHfQtH0zU To make the dreadful movie somewhat inspiring is an achievement. The bonding between the brothers is really touching. Rating: [rating: 2.5/5]
