《阿凡达》如火如荼的上映势头似乎证明了2010在电影史上会是不平凡的一年。的确没错,今年除了这部里程碑式的电影之外还有很多值得期待的好影片,小编为你精选十部、来先睹为快吧! 

                                          禁闭岛

No.10 - Shutter Island

  《禁闭岛》

  Martin Scorsese hasn’t done horror since Cape Fear, but he’s back at it again. Scorsese’s pinup boyLeonardo DiCaprio and the tragically underrated Mark Ruffalo star astwo U.S. marshals investigating a woman’s disappearance on a prisonisland for the criminally insane. It looks grotesque and psychologically earth-shattering from a glimpse at the trailer and it boasts anall-star roster that includes the fetching Emily Mortimer (sigh),Michelle Williams, Ben Kingsley, Max von Sydow, and Jackie Earle Haley.The release date shuffle is a bad omen, though. Shutter Island wassupposed to be in theaters last October before it was unexpectedlydumped this February, where most stinkers go. But we have faith inScorsese and a cast that reads like a list of Oscar nominees。

  故事发生在1954年,军官泰迪和同伴查克被派去调查一个从精神病院失踪的女凶犯的下落。精神病院的所在地就在关门岛上,它主要收治那些有精神疾病的罪犯们。但是在医院平静的外表下,似乎隐藏着许多秘密。泰迪和查克越接近真相,一切就变得越难以捉摸,而他们也越来越感到自己正被推向崩溃的边缘……

                                            罗宾汉

No.9 - Robin Hood

  《罗宾汉》

  After one glimpse at the trailer where a bloodied, disheveled-looking Russell Crowe takesdevil-eyed aim through his bow and arrow, you already know that this isnot the Robin Hood that Bryan Adams swoons to. Ridley Scott’smuch-anticipated adaptation of the medieval criminal is not going to vilify the folk hero as was reported back when the movie was stillcalled Nottingham. But the new movie looks epic, like Gladiator-epic,giving the Prince of Thieves a grittier polish and a conceivable historical background. And you know you can’t gowrong with the accomplished Cate Blanchett filling in Maid Marian’swardrobe. Let’s just hope the studio doesn’t make the director hack an hour off the movie like they did with Kingdom of Heaven, because in that case we might as well wait for yet another Ridley Scott director’scut。

  本片讲述了一个三角恋的故事,发生在传奇人物罗宾汉、少女玛丽安和罗宾汉最强劲的对手——诺丁汉的郡长之间。

                                                                  盗梦空间

 No.8 - Inception

  《盗梦空间》

  We know next to nothing about the closely guarded plot of Inception, but we'll bank on this Leonardo DiCaprio vehicle anyway. It’s a sci-fi detective story that takes place within “the architecture of the mind” and it’sdirected by Christopher Nolan, he who gave The Dark Knight box-officewings and gave us one of the best psychological thrillers in decades with Memento. Inception promises blackmail, corporate malfeasance and some Matrix-style ass kicking, and with Nolan behind the camera we’rebetting it can’t go wrong

[page]

盗梦空间》被定义为“发生在意识结构内的当代动作科幻片”,电影讲述一种新的生物信息技术被研发出来,让人可以通过注射手段进入他人的心灵、思维或梦境,莱昂纳多和他的团队在片中便会利用这种科技进入一些人物的大脑,从中获取或向内植入一些目标信息。

                                              机器侠 2

No.7 - Iron Man 2

  《机器侠 2》

  Iron Man re-engineered comic book movies to be mature,socially relevant and totally fun, and we’re expecting more of the samewhen Robert Downey Jr. returns to his role as the alcoholic,sex-addicted, wise-ass billionaire Tony Stark. While we’re glad to seeGwyneth Paltrow bring back sexually mischievous undercurrents to therole as Pepper Potts, it’s the new additions to the cast that aregetting us excited. Scarlett Johansson looks seductive and smashing asthe Russian dominatrix Black Widow, and Don Cheadle looks like he’shaving a lot of fun in his War Machine getup. And in one of the mostingenuous casting moves of the year, we have Mickey Rourke as Whiplash,looking like a gypsy with a hardcore mean streak。

  《钢铁侠2》将于2010年5月7日上映,其故事说的是托尼·斯塔克(TonyStark)公布自己“钢铁侠”身份引发的一连串后果,除了主演小罗伯特·唐尼(Robert DowneyJr。)、格温妮斯·帕特罗(Gwyneth Paltrow)回归,影片还找来了斯佳丽·乔安森(ScarlettJohansson)来扮演“黑寡妇”(Black Widow)。

                                                                  美国人

No.6 - The American

  《美国人》

  George Clooney risked over-exposure this year, appearing in a total of three movies. In 2010, he’s focusingon just one and that’s The American. Clooney goes against type, playinga master assassin hiding out in Italy while preparing for his final job. Passing himselfoff as an artist, the assassin forges new relationships and a new life,meaning this will probably turn into a romantic comedy laced with aviolent identity crisis. Why would we be so excited for this kind offlick? Well, disregarding the general appeal that is Clooney and hitmen, The American is directed by Anton Corbijn, the indie success storywho brought Joy Division back to vivid life in the critically hailed biopic, Control. Clooney and Corbijn sounds like a match made in indie heaven。

  性感老帅哥乔治克鲁尼在影片中扮演了一名杀手高手,要到意大利去执行他的最后一次任务。而在这最后一次任务中他却卷入了一段罗曼史……

                                                                          绿色地带
[page]

 No.5 - Green Zone

《绿色地带》

  With Paul Greengrassand Matt Damon reteaming, you might as well call this Bourne doesBaghdad. Damon stars as a U.S. soldier who is searching for weapons ofmass destruction but finds lies and treachery instead. Although moviesset in Iraq have done poorly at the box office, the critical receptionof The Hurt Locker and the involvement of Greengrass and Damon promiseto change the atmosphere. Green Zone promises to be a politically edgedaction thriller from the team that gave us Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum, two of the best action thrillers in recent memory to take ashot at politics。

  本片是根据《华盛顿邮报》驻巴格达记者拉吉夫·产德拉斯卡兰(Rajiv Chandrase karan)的作品改编而成的。通过对照重兵保护下的绿区与兵荒马乱、生灵涂炭的外围地区的日常生活,描绘了美国推翻萨达姆后,伊拉克在临时当局统治下的荒废、失败和无能。

                                     日光行军曲

No.4 - They Marched Into Sunlight

  《日光行军曲》

  Paul Greengrass dives headfirst back into politics with a movie that focuses on two events over two days during the Vietnam War. In the U.S., University of Wisconsin students protest Dow Chemicals for producing napalm. Meanwhile, in Vietnam, a U.S. platoon walk into a Viet Cong ambush. The peaceful antiwar protest escalatesinto violence while 61 American lives are lost in the ambush, and these two events simultaneously stimulated student opposition to the war.With his verite style of camera work, Greengrass brought an intense, visceral energy to both Bloody Sunday and the brilliant United 93. Here’s hoping he can do it again。

  本片所叙述的两个故事都发生在1967年的十月,其中一个是美国学生抗议陶氏化学公司生产凝固汽油弹用于越战,随后原本和平的游行演变为暴乱。另一个故事则是一队美军遭遇越南游击队埋伏,结果61个美国军人在枪战中丧生。影片通过两个平行的故事,引发人们对于越战的反思。

                                                       社交网络

No.3 - The Social Network

  《社交网络》

  This is the true story of two friends who create a profitable website that brings people together, while the success breaks them apart. And it stars Justin Timberlake. Sounds kind of cheesy? Sure.Except that the guys being portrayed are Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg, the site is Facebook and the director is David Fincher.Dealing in sex and mountains of money, The Social Network sounds likethe online version of Wall Street. And as we mentioned, it’s directedby David Fincher, the man who took a cleaver to social norms with FightClub. So we can expect a clever dissection of modern social relationships, highlighting how men feel castrated by online “friends”lists. The first rule of Facebook is… lol。

  《本杰明·巴顿奇事》斩获13项奥斯卡提名的美国导演大卫·芬奇,即将执导一部讲述大热全球的SNS社交网站Facebook崛起史的影片《社交网络》(The SocialNetwork)。据悉,这部电影剧本将根据本·梅兹里奇即将于7月14日出版的新书《意外的亿万富翁:Facebook诞生史,一个关于性、钱、天才和背叛的故事》改编。在这本书中,本·梅兹里奇再现了全世界最红社交网络的崛起,以及地球上最年轻的亿万富翁马克·扎克伯格的发家史。这是一个非常吸引人的故事,内容涉及背叛和大笔财富——讲两个好朋友如何革命性地改变了全人类的沟通模式,最终却反目成仇。”另一个吸引人的因素在于,当红男歌星JustinTimberlake将会在影片中献出他的表演处女秀。

                                生命之树

 No.2 - The Tree of Life

  《生命之树》

  It took Terrence Malick 30 years to make four movies, so when the lyrical director of Days of Heaven has a new project on the way, consider that an event. It stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, two of our most accomplished characteractors, and it’s about… god knows what. The period piece, set around the 1950s, has a plot that has been kept top secret. The only official tidbit reveals that the film revolves around a boy’s loss of innocence.But rumors are circulating, and they say Tree of Life is Malick’s most ambitious project to date. It may or may not have segments that deal with the prehistoric or even evolution (Tree of Life, get it) and itmay be released in IMAX. True or not, just the suggestion of Terrence Malick’s spectacular visuals in IMAX gets us tickled with anticipation。

  故事讲述生长在美国中西部的11岁少年杰克的成长变迁。他的家庭由父母和三兄弟组成。在一个孩子眼中,起初一切都是新奇的。他从母亲身上看到了慈爱,而他的父亲告诉他,这个世界的生存法则就是把自己放在首位。在成长过程中,杰克竭力想要调和双亲相悖的人生观。 本片由著名导演泰伦斯·马力克执导、西恩·潘和布拉德·皮特主演,泰伦斯·马力克很早就开始构思该片,他花了30年时间才让这部影片变为现实。

                                          恐怖黑手

No.1 - The Matarese Circle

  《恐怖黑手》

  Denzel Washington can get pretty boring, as he’s often playing the same role in different movies. Tom Cruise can get pretty creepy, just in general. But you have to cut the two stars some slack. When they want to be good --Washington in Training Day and Cruise in Magnolia -- they’re damn good.Both Washington and Cruise go head-to-head as two archrival spies, one American and the other Russian, who must gain each other’s trust inorder to fight a common enemy called the Matarese. It’s an adaptation of a Robert Ludlum novel, the author who conceived Jason Bourne, so expect some riveting high-wire espionage and intense tête-à-têtes. But what has us ecstatic is director David Cronenberg, who’s molding the screen play to his perversely brilliant taste. So expect a spy thriller that dissects the sex appeal in brutality a la A History of Violence。

  电影改编自《伯恩的身份》原著作者Robert Ludlum 的小说[The MatareseCircle],剧本改编由[刺客联盟Wanted]的剧作Derek Haas and MichaelBrandt和Cronenberg担任。本片改编自罗伯特·鲁德鲁姆创作于1979年的小说。故事发生在冷战期间,一个美国特工和一个苏联特工必须联手共同阻止一场凶险的阴谋。
