As a follow-up to this post<\/a>, I mentioned Batman: Under the Red Hood<\/em> and Superman\/Batman: Apocalypse<\/em> as the two 2010 DC animated direct-to-DVD films that I enjoyed.\u00a0 Apparently I forgot that Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths<\/em> also came out in 2010.\u00a0 I also enjoyed it very much, with Under the Red Hood <\/em>remaining my favorite of the three.\u00a0 It added another Whedonverse, specifically Firefly<\/em>, actor to the list of those with roles in the DC animated films, namely Gina Torres as Super Woman.<\/p>\n

As for the “2010 movies I haven\u2019t seen yet that I hope are good, because I already bought at least one of them, and I want to like the others,” I have now seen them all, and own three of them, so that’s something.<\/p>\n

Shrek Forever After<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the one that I had already bought, in the complete series pack for my kids for Christmas.\u00a0 It was definitely better than Shrek the Third<\/em>, though not quite as good as the first two entries in the series. I enjoyed it enough not to get tired of it after the next several times my children watched it.<\/p>\n

The A-Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a fun movie to watch, and a lot better than I really expected it to be.\u00a0 I am sure that I watched the the TV series as a kid, but I have no real memories of it, so I had nothing to compare the movie to, for good or bad.\u00a0 I did not end up buying this one.<\/p>\n

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was definitely my favorite of all the Harry Potter movies.\u00a0 It was also the only one that we felt was a bit much to let our children watch at their ages, so we are reading the book, having read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone<\/span> a couple of months ago, and apparently skipping the intervening entries for now.\u00a0 I am actually looking forward to seeing the final film in the theater, something that I do less and less for movies these days.\u00a0 The only other Potter<\/em> I have seen theatrically is also Sorcerer’s Stone<\/em>, nearly ten years ago, and the others I did not even see until the last six months or so.\u00a0 I bought this the day of release, because Leslie insisted.<\/p>\n

Megamind<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was the third that I bought, after getting it from NetFlix and the kids liking it a lot and me liking it enough, and it still being release week and therefore on sale and even having a coupon available.\u00a0 Woohoo!<\/p>\n

The Other Guys<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a rental, and a good one-time viewer.\u00a0 I laughed a lot, especially at crazy Mark Wahlberg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
