Through the Decades: 2010s: 10-Film Collection on DVD

High-concept hijinks, taut spy thrillers, new takes on old classics! It's never too soon to reminisce with this ten-film collection that celebrates the movies of a decade that still feels just like yesterday: The 2010s!

10 Film Collection:

MacGruber (R, 90 min)

• Starring: Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Val Kilmer
• The legendary MacGruber faces off against his nemesis Dieter Von Cunth, who is threatening to level Washington, D.C. with a nuclear warhead.
• “a raunchy, broadly played farce that may amuse — and almost certainly will surprise — even non-fans of the “Saturday Night Live” sketches that inspired it.” - Joe Leydon, Variety

The American (R, 105 min)

• Starring: George Clooney, Paolo Bonacelli, Violante Placido
• American assassin Jack has one more job to do before he gets out of the game for good. Hiding out in the Italian countryside, he befriends some of the locals, risking their lives and his own in this taut thriller.
• “"The American" allows George Clooney to play a man as starkly defined as a samurai. His fatal flaw, as it must be for any samurai, is love. Other than that, the American is perfect: Sealed, impervious, and expert, with a focus so narrow it is defined only by his skills and his master. Here is a gripping film with the focus of a Japanese drama, an impenetrable character to equal Alain Delon's in "Le Samourai," by Jean-Pierre Melville.” – Roger Ebert,RogerEbert.com

The Dilemma (PG-13, 111 min)

• Starring: Vince Vaugh, Kevin James, Winona Ryder
• Ronny discovers that his best friend and business partner Nick's wife is having an affair, and struggles with telling Nick as the biggest opportunity of their career approaches.
• “Ryder is devious and witchy, her eyes flashing, her crinkly voice developing knife edges. She gives an acidly brilliant performance...” - David Denby, The New Yorker “...engaging and emotionally challenging...” - Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies

The Adjustment Bureau (PG-13, 106 min)

• Starring: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Michael Kelly
• A simple affair between a politician and a dancer unfurls into a thrilling race for the truth behind the mysterious organization that seems determined to keep them apart.
• “Equal parts playful, sophisticated and engrossing, The Adjustment Bureau is like the first songbird of spring, signaling that the winter of our collective brain-freeze is over and it's safe to go back to the multiplex.” - Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

Your Highness (R, 102 min)

• Starring: Danny McBride, Natalie Portman, James Franco
• An arrogant and chivalrous prince and his scoundrel brother must work together to rescue the prince's bride-to-be from an evil sorcerer.
• “A cunning weave of low and high, regal and smutty, splendiferous and splattery.” - David Edelstein, Vulture

The Thing (R, 103 min)

• Starring: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen
• The staff of an Antarctic research station are picked off one by one by a ferocious alien organism that can assume the form of those it kills.
• “Dutch director Matthijs van Heijningen and company deliver lean suspense, and they update the Carpenter crew's gnarly alien-shapeshifter effects skillfully enough to remind us why the concept captures geek imaginations.” - Tom Russo, Boston Globe

Contraband (R, 109 min)

• Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Beckinsale
• An ex-smuggler is dragged back into the business, trafficking millions in counterfeit bills in order to protect his brother-in-law from a powerful drug lord.

• Assigned to guard a fugitive in a Cape Town safehouse, a rookie CIA agent is in over his head when they are attacked by mercenaries and are forced to work together to survive.

• As an asteroid hurtles towards Earth, a man embarks on a cross country road trip to reunite with his high school sweetheart, so he won't have to die alone.

Black Sea (R, 114 min)

• Starring: Jude Law, Scoot McNairy, Ben Mendelsohn
• A former submarine captain heads an expedition backed by a questionable investor to search the bottom of the Black Sea for a sunken German sub loaded with gold.
• “Black Sea looks so gorgeous and moves with such muscular grace that you might forget, or never imagine, that it's a relatively small action movie.” - Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
