VIDEO: One Final Viral Back to the Future Clip to Close Out 2010

2010: The year we went Back to the Future . Of all the cultural anniversaries and milestones that occurred during the last 365 days, none was more all-encompassing than the 25th anniversary of the time Marty McFly hopped in a souped-up Delorean, headed to 1955 and almost stumbled into an incest-y relationship with his mother. Memories! In case you aren’t Back to the Future d out — and in case Santa didn’t bring you the Blu-rays for Christmas — AMC is running all three films in marathon form starting tonight at 6 p.m. Ahead, in an effort to get you excited for this epic timewaster, watch a scene-by-scene comparison of the end of Back to the Future and the beginning of Back to the Future II …now with more Elisabeth Shue!

What Should Have Happened in 2010, According to Movies

If futuristic movies were correct, we would have gotten armed, robot teachers ( Class of 1999 ) and virtual reality that taps into our brains ( Strange Days ) in 1999, followed by a robot uprising in 2004 ( Terminator 3 ). And all of that after the demise of the human population way back in 1977 ( The Omega Man )! 2010 tested the prophecies of five more Sci-Fi movies and, for the most part, proved them wrong. So take a second to stop looking back on all of the horrible 2010 news and remember what movies claimed would happen this year. 2010 could have been worse! Or at least weirder.

Oscar Index: Inception, ‘Steak Eaters’ on the Move

2010 Box Office Receipts: 3-D Surcharges Are Alive and Well

The year-end box office receipts are in, and Hollywood fell just short of last year’s record-setting $10.6 billion haul. While ticket receipts still broke $10 billion, overall attendance this year dropped a whopping 5.36 percent, making 2010 the second-lowest-attended year of the last decade. This drop, along with the fact that awful 3-D conversion of Clash of the Titans finished just outside the top 10, suggests that audiences this year were totally down with that 3-D surcharge. Also interesting is the fact that almost half of the top 10 films of the year, including the number-one ranked Toy Story 3 , were CGI animation. Watch your backs, bankable actors!

Does Pregnancy = Oscar? A Brief History of the Academy Awards’ Nominees With Child

No Strings Attached may not be Natalie Portman’s Norbit , but is the recent admission by the perceived Oscar frontrunner that she is engaged (gasp!) and pregnant (choke!) a golden ticket to the most elusive of acting statuettes? A look back at some of Oscar’s former parties of two suggests that Natalie’s personal bliss may not serve to guarantee any professional lauds.

10 Favorite Stories of 2010: Brian’s Picks

Not surprisingly, It wasn’t so hard to compile numerous top 10 lists judging other people’s work in 2010. But karma caught up with me and I’ve now had to endure going through all of my own work from the latter half of this year. Whew! While the task is by its nature a little painful, it also served as a welcome reminder of how much I enjoy writing for this site, and also reading the ensuing feedback (even the cranky, venom-filled responses). So, here are my 10 favorite Movieline articles from 2010, which is based on a number of factors including my own memories and the feedback the articles provoked. Since it’s awkward enough for me to choose favorites from my own work, these are not in any particular order.
