Has Affleck taken the #2 spot in the list of top actor/directors working today (behind Clint Eastwood of course)? I’m beginning to think so…
Released on Friday the 17th
The A-Team (DVD and Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)

What do your fellow Flickcharters have to say?
willhunting – “Aren’t these pretty much the same movie? Either way, The A-Team was actually damn fun. Just turn off your brain and enjoy. I was afraid of how Rampage was going to do but I thought he did great. Every character, even the bad guys are enjoyable in some way. ”
Avenger7 – “The A-Team is what The Losers was trying to be but failed. The Hannibal character said it best with one line of dialogue, “Overkill is underrated” and in this case, it’s probably true.”
(From The A-Team vs. The Losers discussion)
Despicable Me (DVD and Blu-ray | PG | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best animated movies of all time?
Flickchart Ranking: #1191
|
Nowhere near as good as Toy Story 3 or How To Train Your Dragon but still a decent watch.
The Other Guys (DVD and Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best comedy movies of all time?
Flickchart Ranking: #2121
|
What do your fellow Flickcharters have to say?
flickme – “The Other Guys was a series of well executed scenes that didn’t coalesce into a whole time the way the transcendentally funny Anchorman did. That and Anchorman had a jazz flute scene, so its got that going for it, which is nice.”
(From The Other Guys vs. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy discussion)
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole (DVD and Blu-ray | PG | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best animal movies of all time?
Flickchart Ranking: #5623
|
Zack Snyder’s first attempt at animation and it looks like he knocked it out of the park according to Flickchart.
Released on Friday the 17th
Cyrus (DVD and Blu-ray | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best dramatic comedy movies of all time?
Flickchart Ranking: #2072
|
What do your fellow Flickcharters have to say?
admiralpiett – “One is immensely loud and crowded, the other is so simple and even-keeled it would seem slow for a sitcom. Maybe this makes me an arthouse snob, but I’ll take the everyday-life humor of Cyrus over Mickey Rourke’s mangled accent and Scarlet Johannson’s dead eyes; Cyrus FTW.”
(From Iron Man 2 vs. Cyrus discussion)
Exit Through The Gift Shop (DVD and Blu-ray | R | 2010)
 |
How would you rank it amongst the best documentaries of all time?

I’m neither old enough nor white enough to feel like I can sufficiently enjoy a John Wayne movie. There will come a time in my life where I fit both of those categories more clearly but for now, I’ll just stick with Clint Eastwood, Lee Marvin and the like when I want to watch a western.

An old Douglas Fairbanks movie. I haven’t had the time to fully get into Fairbanks yet but from what I’ve seen, his movies are a lot of fun.
