My favorites from the year were Moon, The Hurt Locker, Zombieland, Gran Torino and The Reader. I deeply enjoyed the vast majority of the films on the list. 2012 was laughably bad, Thirst got tedious, but Fast and Furious was the only unredeemable film here.
The cost for 2010 is $230 and the break-even is 15 films for two people. If you’re a Raleigh-area movie fan, it’s a fantastic deal and a great way to support an independent theatre. As with the past two years, I look forward to the new year in movies.
