Screen World Volume 62: The Films of 2010
Monush's annual survey consistently reminds readers that compelling films are produced outside Hollywood's glittery epicenter. Of course, he doesn't shun blockbusters and devotes significant coverage to Oscar-winning films like The Social Network and best-picture nominees like Black Swan. Indie and foreign films also enjoy the spotlight, each represented by a black-and-white still, plot synopsis, and listing of cast and crew. Additional segments profile promising new actors, top box office stars and films, and Academy Award notables, and provide obituaries. A worthwhile summary of 2010 productions for film studies collections. --Library Journal
