I’m well aware that there are approximately three hours of Saturday Night Live programming yet to air in 2010, so a best-of for the year might be a tad premature. Nevertheless! Here are the 10 best Saturday Night Live sketches of 2010. I promise, though, that if anything extraordinary happens in the Paul Rudd or Jeff Bridges hosted episodes — which is quite likely, actually — I’ll update this list accordingly.

Helen Mirren controls the weather in The Tempest , Julie Taymor’s gusty, peripatetic screen version of Shakespeare’s thunderous play. As Prospera, a female iteration of the original’s vengeful wizard, she rules the island to which she was condemned, the sky above it, and the sea that tosses at its shores. Mirren also does her level, ensorcelling best to give ballast to the film’s erratic tone by force of will and peerless commitment. She stalks the heath, herds the youngsters, and trades commands for unerring obedience with her wispy spirit, Ariel (Ben Wishaw, nude and denatured). Yet she cannot wrest the film from the meteorological whims of Julie Taymor, princess of the plodding, mistress of mayhem.

Men talk with gaping holes where their hearts should be (We flash back to the hideous singing corpses from Fringe’s unfortunate musical episode ). Mad scientists string up corpses like marionettes so they can dance. Why did these things happen in last night’s Fringe? Because, while they are largely totally unrelated to the plot, they help pad the creepy quota. And sometimes, as long as you’re not thinking too hard about it, that’s all you really need. Read on for the mad science breakdown of “Marionette!”

Before Hollywood discovered it could reap huge profits by adapting comic books, mainstream movies used to attempt subjects that might have something to do with real grown-ups’ lives. That impulse rarely surfaces these days, but it’s the motor that drives The Company Men, John Wells’ downsizing drama set in the Boston area circa 2008, just as the economy was beginning its long, slow-motion crash.

I always like to take a little nihilism with my morning coffee, especially on Fridays, when the inky abyss of the weekend sprawls before me with so much self-medicating potential, and when one has finally grown at least a little inured to the thwack of the cultural switch to the raw, riven backs of one’s knees. And ultimately, when you’ve get a dose like today’s — a bleak, bleak diagnosis from filmmaking BFF’ s Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo del Toro — its summoning in part by a hypocrite hardly seems to matter.

Last week I met actor Jesse Eisenberg for a lengthy discussion of subjects ranging from his coming-of-age in the New York theater to his beloved Zombieland and his awards-season prospects for The Social Network. We covered a lot of ground, which I’ll be retracing this week in a five-part series here at Movieline. And so we arrive, sadly, at the end of our five-part journey with Jesse Eisenberg. By the time the actor and I reached this point, the done-to-death The Social Network had given way to… well, quite a few subjects. Let’s just say that in this last installment of our bar-side conversation, it’s a movie-reference blowout: The Godfather , Jurassic Park , all six Star Wars films and three Lord of the Rings films, among others, made the cut. We also discussed the pending progress of Zombieland 2 and Eisenberg’s surprising affection for the star of Three’s Company .

The Spider-Man reboot is going to be so awesome , if only because it may very well be the first film in the history of Hollywood from which we’ll apparently have paparazzi photos delivered to our desktops every single day , followed by total speculation educated guessing about what’s happening in said photos, thus creating our own parallel Spider-Man universe where gossip, comic-book narratives and photo-agency spoilers converge in a continually evolving fanboy fantasia. Excited yet? Anyway, my point is that my first impression of Emma Stone’s return to her natural blond hair color was wrong: She looks great. Click through for the first shots of Stone, in character as Gwen Stacy, from the first day of shooting.
