Though 2010 was the best year for movie releases in my lifetime with the likes of movies like The Town, Inception, Shutter Island, Blue Valentine, 127 Hours, Black Swan, and The King’s Speech, it still liked that one killer comedy (although Date Night was an entertaining movie).

After being thoroughly disappointed by Terrence Malick’s tone poem The Tree of Life, I was hesitant to watch Melancholia after watching its similar artistic trailer and hearing comparisons between the two movies. However, unlike The Tree of Life, which I went to see thinking would be a good movie, I decided to view Melancholia because some were calling it the best performance of Kirsten Dunst’s (Spiderman, The Virgin Suicides) career.
