#79 - No Strings Attached
Yes, this film is previsible and not really original. But man, it works. The alchemy between Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman is there, the soundtrack is awesome, the film is both hilarious and touching. Exactly what one expects from a romantic comedy....

#78 - Black Swan
Disturbing, slightly crazy, in and off reality, sublime... These attributes are both for the film and its lead actress, Natalie Portman. As usual, Natalie Portman is perfect. But with this film, her talent is even more impressive and amazing, because...

#77 - The King's Speech
The story of a king who stammered. Incredible acting from all the characters. Colin Firth is especially impressive in his subtlety and the way he really gets his character. Unbelievable cast (half of HP's cast is here). Touching and epic scenario , also...

#76 - Ludovico Einaudi @ Le Trianon, Paris
Reflecting on this concert has me convinced that I'm right in only ever going to gigs of artists I'm really a fan of. I was already a fan of Ludovico Einaudi's. I'm even more in awe of him and his work now that I've seen his piano solo concert. Ludovico...

#75 - Somewhere
She's done it again. Sofia Coppola's a genius who can turn the most simple, almost uneventful story, into a mind-erasing, profound, epic journey. Elle Fanning's on her way to become a great actress, not unlike her sister. Stephen Dorff is perfect in his...

#74 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I
I wanted to see HPDH Part 1 twice before I wrote my review. I saw it first at midnight the day it went out, and this remains one of the best cinema experiences I've had so far. The atmosphere was absolutely incredible: eerie, cheery, full of emotion......

#73 - K's Choice @ Casino de Paris
I went to K's Choice gig last Monday in Paris. It was awesome, they were definitely up to my expectations! I got lucky enough to be on the right side of the scene, precisely facing Sarah Bettens (the lead singer). I even managed to scrape one of her mediators...

#72 - The American
Undeniably the most boring film of 2010 , and I happen to like George Clooney very much. Viewers' ratings were good (6.7/10 on IMDB), and the synopsis was very tempting: "Alone among assassins, Jack is a master craftsman. When a job in Sweden ends more...

#71 - Arthur and The War of Two Worlds
I think my review is contained in one word: disappointment . I adore this fictional universe, the sense of realism and adventure it offers, but, well, I had been disappointed by the second installment, Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard, and the third...

#70 - Despicable Me
A couple of surprises but otherwise not an original film. Some good jokes, but a great deal of déjà vu, probably because I had been too much exposed to the trailer since I go to the cinema once a week and there had been a massive budget on advertising....
