Movies of 2010


Da Guru saw a lot of movies in 2009 -2010: A quick recap of them all in one sentence each:


1. The Lovely Bones: flashy, but not very good when it comes down to it.

2. Avatar: Didn't see it on IMAX; plot non-existant

3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1: instantly forgettable.

4. Get Him to the Greek: Really really funny......don't think it got the praise it deserved.

5. Hot Tub Time Machine: Less funny, but clever. Good for cheap laughs with friends.

6. Alice in Wonderland: Gave this movie 15 mins, didn't like it, moved on.

7. Toy Story 3: Genius.

8. Valentine's Day: Lovely mess of a movie -- good if you like really famous actors/actresses.


Realized very quickly that I actually didn't get around to seeing many movies in 2010, like Social Network, The King's Speech, The Kids are All Right, Inception, Black Swan......yeaaaahhhh.... Changed this to recap of favorite fantasy players:


1. Dustin Pedroia: A wasted year; He'll be back.

2. Kevin Love: was freed in 2010.

3. Arian Foster: Living proof that fantasy football is just a crapshoot.

4. Jamie Garcia: proof of life on the free agency list.

5. Chauncey Billups: is done.

6. Derrick Rose: Blossoming (cliche alert)

7. Jhoulys Chacin: Up and coming.

8. Adrian Peterson + Chris Johnson: Enjoy while it lasts.

9. Aaron Rodgers: Fantasy God. Dislike team he plays for.

10. Blake Griffin: perfect illustration of dichotomy between economic + fantasy value: I wouldn't draft him in top 50 for fantasy, yet would draft in top 5 as owner to attract revenue.

11. Trevor Hoffman. You had a good run. Enter Sandman.

12. Robinson Cano: Welcome to 2012 #1 draft pick (Trust me).


Fantasize on,

Robert Yan
