Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Julie Taymor’s The Tempest

Titus...I never saw it but I'm sure we'll have something that just as ambitiously vibrant and visually lush -- it's been pushed back due to extra special effects coating, I like this might be 2010's dark horse pic of the year.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Mike Mills’ Beginners

We interviewed Michel Gondry's American cousin back in 05' (I make the comparison because the two have that insatiable appetite to create and use a more experimental approach), so it's been a long, painful wait for fans of Thumbsucker. I see elements of Magnolia + Gods and Monsters in the story-line and then you add the Mill's visual style and how he works with his actors and you've got what sounds like a great cocktail.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Benedek Fliegauf’s Womb

Fliegauf has certainly made his mark as a filmmaker with style (see his work in the 2004 film Dealer), and now that Womb received the Krzysztof Kieslowski award and was part of the Atelier at Cannes, this may be the film that breaks out beyond the Europes.

Master of the long take, this won't be your standard biopic on Nietzsche - as the POV is shared with those who changed the philosopher's life course. Rumor is that this would be Tarr's last film.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Gilles Marchand’s Black Heaven

Apart from a couple of doc samples, all commentary on how the virtual world has socially altered/modified our habits and comportment has pretty much bit the dust - L'autre monde might be a poignant game changer.
