Action Movies 2010 – Guide

- JULY -

Knight & Day
Starring: Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Grace, Paul Dano
Director: Lee Unkrich
Release Date: 2nd July 2010

Top 30 Best Action Movies 2010
His Tropic Thunder cameo showed Tom Cruise do comedy, so now with his career still reeling after the Scientology madness, feature action comedy seems a sensible direction to try out. Hence Knight & Day, which centers on a lonely woman (Cameron Diaz) whose seemingly harmless blind date suddenly turns her life upside-down when a super spy (Cruise) takes her on a violent worldwide journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source. The title sounds like it belongs to an 80s sitcom, but I like the madcap energy of the trailer.

The Last Airbender
Starring: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Release Date: 2nd July 2010

Top 30 Best Action Movies - 2010
Nothing to do with farting, The Last Airbender is a live-action adaptation of the first season of animated TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender. It follows the adventures of Aang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, who must put his childhood ways aside and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations. It’s written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan. Anyone who saw his last movie, The Happening, will be nervous. This is the first of a planned trilogy.

Predators
Starring: Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Alice Braga
Director: Nimród Antal
Release Date: 9th July 2010

Top 30 Best Action Movies 2010 - Predators
Produced by Robert Rodriguez, based off his old spec script, Predators will star Adrien Brody as a lean mercenary. The R-rated movie is a direct sequel to the first film, as Aliens followed Alien. If Rodriguez lets him get near the camera, it’ll be helmed by Nimród Antal, who gave us Vacancy and the not-so-great Armored. The Predator will look as it did in the original film, but is joined by new creatures, such as Predator dogs and Predator falcons. Can’t wait for this.

Inception
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cotillard
Director: Christopher Nolan
Release Date: 16th July 2010

Top 30 Best Action Movies - 2010
The director of the Dark Knight upsets everyone by making a movie that isn’t a Batman sequel. But wait, this looks great. And all of Christopher Nolan’s other films have been terrific too. And what a cast he has for this. Inception is a mystery story set within the architecture of the mind. In other words imagine being able to physically enter the world of someone’s brain and steal confidential information that exists only in their memory. Or something like that. Is director Nolan trying out Heath Ledger-lookalike Joseph Gordon-Levitt with an eye to him taking over the Joker role?


The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Monica Bellucci
Director: Jon Turteltaub
Release Date: 16th July 2010

Top 30 Best Action Movies - 2010
I don’t think anyone reading this saw Fantasia when it first hit cinemas in 1940 but you may still be aware that Mickey Mouse played the role of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Well Mickey has been recast as Jay Bacochel from Tropic Thunder in this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced live action spin-off which sees him coming under the wing of Nicolas Cage and fulfilling his magician’s destiny to stop New York etc being destroyed by evil forces. Think of Harry Potter without any kids. Looks like fun, with some cool sorcery visuals.

Salt
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor
Director: Phillip Noyce
Release Date: 23rd July 2010

action-2010-movies-salt.jpg
Action-thriller starring Angelina Jolie as a CIA officer accused of being a Russian sleeper spy. The trailer is unintentionally silly, with Jolie jumping off a bridge onto a moving truck then hopping from vehicle to vehicle with ease. But big names have been attached to the movie (Salt was originally to be played by Tom Cruise) so there must be something special about it?

    Salt, A Team was amazing and The Expendables and Machete was good too, I thought Machete was going to be some boring Mexican drug lord film like a lot of film but it was more interesting than that. I recommend it.

    i would have to say i have heared a lot of people talking about inception and how good it was i have heared atleast 60 people tell me how i needed to see it. it was odd because people were like obsessed over it. sixty people is not an exaggeration either and i didn’t have one person tell me they didn’t like it or it was soo so. they were nuts about it and i just got done watching it for my first time last night and i would have to say it lived up to its hype and was one of the best if not the best action movie or movie i have seen in my 23 years of movie watching life. you are so drawn in to that movie with the emotions and suspense that makes you feel like you are really a part of it. and the director who thought that movie up was a genious. there was a lot of work put in to that movie and all the critics and people i know loved it.
