Get Low (2010)
Robert Duvall is pefectly grizzlied and Bill Murray perfectly glib in a depression-era story of a funeral party, but the performances aren’t quite enough. The movie meanders and never delivers on wild stories of a hermit, settling for a too-safe third act.

The Kids Are All Right (2010)
Lesbians Annette Bening and Julianne Moore have a complicated marriage and two kids — just like everyone else! Then the kids contact forgotten sperm donor Mark Ruffalo, who again plays a scruffy, emotionally impotent fuck-up who fucks everything up.

Inception (2010)
Director Christopher Nolan creates a visually stunning, surrealistic dream world, then one beyond that and then another beyond that. Along the way, Leonardo DiCaprio leads a heist of another man’s mind and finds closure with dead wife Marion Cotillard.

Toy Story 3 (2010)
The third “Toy Story” doesn’t have the resonance of “Up” or the imagination of “Where the Wild Things Are.” It is just cute, nothing more, nothing less, the middle half an endless prison break. Plus, the filmmakers go for too many “Is Ken gay?” jokes.

The A-Team (2010)
Like “Charlie’s Angels,” this action-comedy is the rare movie based on a television series that honors the source material, having fun without making fun. Bradley Cooper delivers charm and smarm and director Joe Carnahan the action, including a flying tank.
