The Runaways - Rating: 9

   The first contender for Mark's Top Ten for 2010.  

   Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning prove they've got the "chops" and absolutely sizzle as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, the primary forces behind the groundbreaking all-girl rock band of the 70's -- The Runaways.

The Vicious Kind - Rating: 7

A good festival film.  I believe it premiered at Sundance last year, it was nominated for Best First Screenplay at the Spiriit Awards.

Alice in Wonderland - Rating: 5

Very disappointing.  Saw it in 3D and wished I was watching Avatar again.

Weather Girl - Rating: 7

An entertaining rom-com that doesn't depend on scatalogical references or on its audience to be exceedingly sexually repressed ("she said balls, tee-hee") to get its laughs.  A nice comic depiction of a couple trwenty something male buddies, one falls for the other's older sister, the local TV weather girl.  Nice job by all actors, does a good job of mocking the phonieness of local TV news/entertainment shows.
