Trying to figure out the themes that the 2010 year in cinema gave to us is not a hard task at all. If anything, this year’s best films had an irrepressible surge that impelled them all toward themes focusing on alienation, instability, conformity, and deception, all different routes that lead to the same destination: at an arrival of self-discovery.
Below are my picks for the Top 30 films of 2010, all of which, in one way or another, had characters that had to confront the danger that was permeating their existence, as a bullfighter bravely confronts an oncoming bull. This confrontational theme knew of no cinematic boundaries. It hit hard in Toy Story 3 and The Kids Are All Right just as hard as it did in Winter’s Bone and Black Swan. It did not matter if Andy had to confront college or if Nina had to pierce a deep wound into her own being just so an answer could be derived. All characters in all 30 films were just as much bothered with universal issues as they were with personal demons. King’s Speech demonstrates this as King George VI has to face WWII and his stammering issue. And the directors of these films did not revile such themes, as they satisfyingly indulged in them by creating unwelcoming atmosphere fostering trite and brutal themes and making them into something glowingly artistic.

If you’re a Star Wars fan then you definitely know the name Ralph McQuarrie, the concept artist behind the original trilogy. McQuarrie has worked on some other popular sci-fi franchises, including Star Trek.
After completing work on the original Star Wars: A New Hope, McQuarrie got busy on concept art for Star Trek – Planet of the Titans, which was to be Paramount’s first attempt at a big-screen Star Trek.

Some truly incredible Star Wars-inspired posters have come from Mondo, the art boutique arm of the famed Alamo Drafthouse. Now you can see the final offerings, which includes posters for Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi, as well as variants of each.
All of Mondo’s Star Wars posters, along with many others created in celebration of various pop culture favorites, sold out insanely fast, so this last batch will hold the largest number of posters yet. Each of the 24″x36″ will have a limited number of 850 posters available, with 275 of each variant also up for grabs. And as always, once they’re gone they’re gone forever.
These posters come from artist Tyler Stout, and will be available later today, December 31, at a random time. All you need do is follow Mondo on Twitter and keep a close eye out for their announcement that the sale is on.
