My Top 10 Action Movies of the 2010s

Action movies are some of the most underrated, misunderstood, and impressive movies out there, and in the past several years, there have been some incredible ones. This list is dedicated to everyone out there who is sick of hearing people mindlessly call great movies "mindless" just because they feature explosions. Prudes. Explosions are awesome...

10. Pacific Rim
Directed by Guillermo Del Toro

Fans of Godzilla should appreciate this one. A sci/fi action epic about giant monsters battling giant robots for the fate of the Earth. A basic concept, but thanks to the style and finesse of Guillermo Del Toro, this movie is able to escalate above standard popcorn fare and into the realm of totally awesome. Though I'm not usually a fan of distinctly CGI action, the animation and approach this movie takes to the battle scenes totally capture the massive scope and epic nature the film was going for, making it a visual treat, as well as a badass kaiju vs. rock'em sock'em robot smash-fest.

My Top 10 Movies of 2015 (so far)

Guess who's back?
Back again?
I am back.
Sorry.

And now for a list, because that is how the Jeff do. These are my top 10 favorite movies of the year so far. No honorable mentions, no tom foolery. This is serious business.

10. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night
Directed by Ana Lily Amirpour

Not the most original vampire movie out there (it shares a lot of similar themes with Let The Right One In), but still a very welcome inclusion to the largely poor horror sub-genre -- even though I would be hard-pressed to call this a "horror" movie at all. Though technically American, this Iranian pseudo-romantic horror drama is stylish, beautiful, and thoroughly engrossing from start to finish.
