While setting up the 2010 Wrap-Up series, several of the RCC writers expressed gratitude they weren’t asked to rank the year’s releases in a Top Ten list. Being a sadist, that’s precisely what Devin Pike asked ‘em to do…

It’s not hard to say what the worst film of the year is, if looked at objectively. Technical deficiencies, narrative failures, cardboard characters, awful dialogue, a complete lack of artistry, a complete lack of anything unique, clever, charming, powerful or affecting.  Now, you might think I just described “Killers,” but what I’m getting at is: [...]

There were a ton of memories that stick out for me in the first full year of Red Carpet Crash’s online existence, from bum-rushing SXSW and the DALLAS International Film Festival, to hosting our first Big Gold Statue Watching Party (note to self: putting the free beer section up flights of stairs is not the [...]

2010 was a blasé year in movies. A few standouts, sure, but overall the good offerings were a little slim and often dim. So instead of the standard “Top Ten” list of the movies that defined 2010, a list of the ten best beards seems almost too great to pass up. Not many would have [...]

You gotta love the French. They can make the most mundane things sound really cool. For instance, really thin pancakes aren’t mistakes, they’re crêpes; a low-key party isn’t boring, it’s a soirée; and a toilet that shoots water up your butt isn’t creepy, it’s a bidet. They also have one other cool phrase that I [...]

For avid moviegoers, the real die-hard fans that make movies part of their life and not just an option for their leisure time, there’s nothing quite like finding a diamond in the rough. Whether it’s a title no one’s heard of before, or maybe a film that got released so quietly and under-the-radar that it [...]

My skin tends to crawl at the reality that “Alice in Wonderland” made more than $300 million in the US. I’m equally disturbed by the fact that “Grown Ups” and “Clash of the Freakin’ Titans” each earned more than $160 million, and that “The Last Airbender” and “Valentine’s Day” brought home $131 million and $110 [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, especially for cinemaphiles. The holiday season usually means a bombardment of films with Oscar buzz but the majority are for adults only. Kids are usually treated to 1) a new Narnia movie and 2) a CGI reboot of a cartoon series from when their parents were young. [...]

Red Carpet Crash looks back at the movies that – for better or worse – shaped the state of cinema in 2010… Click Here for the series of articles.

The writers and editors of Red Carpet Crash look back at 2010 this week, beginning with Editor-In-Chief Steve Norwood… If it weren’t for a mere handful of films (among them the largely disparate “Black Swan” and “Toy Story 3″),  I would wager that most American critics, reviewers and writers would quickly run out of U.S.-produced [...]
