I realize that the calendar year has changed, but there are still movies from last year that are still in theatres. I saw True Grit two weeks ago, for instance, and tonight I'm going to see The Town at the Reitz Cinema.
Obviously, these can't technically go on the list, but they still count for the less-official list of movies from 2010 that I'll have seen before the Academy Awards come up. The Oscars, of course, are the true deadline here.
