Editors Note: This week our resident film critic David Dimichele will count down the top 50 best films of the decade. Today we will look at the first ten from the list and unveil a new portion of the list each day until we get to the number one film of this past decade.
The countdown starts after the jump.

This nocturnal epic of a nightmare can be a metaphor to what may await America. With President-elect Obama ready to step in and lay a new foundation over a rundown America that is suffering from economic issues, bailout options, unemployment and the always looming threat of a terrorist attack, director Christopher Nolan conceives such unfavorable situations and employs them in a world that usually doesn’t deal with such catastrophes.

Long Weekend remake hits R2 DVD
13 December 2009 3:18 AM, PST | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
Colin Eggleston's Aussie horror cult classic 1978 shocker Long Weekend gets a contemporary makeover courtesy of director Jamie Blanks and the original film's screenwriter Everett De Roche (who wrote, among many others, the fantastic Aussie creature feature Razorback). Long Weekend stars Jim Caviezel and Claudia Karvan, and cranks out the eco-horror chills to produce that rare thing in cinema - a remake that is as good as the original. Long Weekend comes to R2 DVD on 8th February 2010, as a two-disc special Edition. Those in the U.S interested to see the movie can find it under its oddly retitled name "Natures Grave." »
TV Review: The Prisoner
25 November 2009 10:48 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
The Prisoner was a cult classic TV show from the 1960s about a spy who knew just a little too much and was sent to a resort like prison called “The Village” after he resigned. We never knew his name, but he was designated as Number 6.
This time around he wave a much more surreal version of the story where The Village is in a desert filled with people of all walks of life. Everyone has a number, and everyone has a job. Nobody believes that there is anything outside of the Village, except for 6 (Jim Caviezel). In charge of everything is Number 2 (Ian McKellen), a very strange old man who seems to have some kind of scheme up his sleeve but we never really get a good glimpse as to what it is.
To be frank, I’m not a huge fan of the original series. It only lasted »

Terrence Malick: The Reluctant Auteur
24 November 2009 4:02 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
The furious way that the beautiful free flowing style which Terrence Malick has curated over his career is talked about often disguises the fact that he has made just four features and one (some people say two), rare as hens teeth, shorts. So, after only a hand full of features in 37 years what is it about the director that has celluloid lovers chomping at the bit. Until very recently there were only 2 published interviews with the modest director in existence and only a handful of photographs. His stubbornness with the press is legendary. His Tom Sawyer like trademark themes of innocents somehow lost within harsh mother nature, the beautifully paced editing and pitch perfect scores, his poetic and naturalistic voice overs and consistently jaw dropping cinematography has helped the film maker achieve a level of awe and mystery perhaps only reserved on a comparable level for one Stanley Kubrick.

New 'Space Invader' Movie Has Nothing To Do With The Game -- And Neither Do These Five Made Up Films
18 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
I've got good news and bad news, video game fans. The good news is that a "Space Invader" film is on the way. The bad news is that it has no connection whatsoever to the classic arcade game.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Iron Man 2" screenwriter Justin Theroux is set to pen "Space Invader," Fox's astronaut romantic comedy that has nothing to do with shooting down wave after wave of aggressive alien aircrafts via joystick and button mashing. Instead, "Space Invader" focuses on a man who goes to space after suspecting that his astronaut girlfriend is cheating on him with a fellow astronaut.
Don't get me wrong, this "Space Invader" premise is pretty funny, and Will Arnett's attachment to the lead role makes it even funnier. Still, why throw away the "Space Invaders" name on a romantic comedy, rather than reserving it for a future video game adaptation? »

'The Prisoner' Star Jamie Campbell Bower Takes Us Inside Hias Pivotal Scene
16 November 2009 6:53 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
By now I hope you're two-thirds of the way through AMC's new six-part miniseries, "The Prisoner," which launched on Sunday night and plowed through its third and fourth episodes on Monday. The series is about as good as sci-fi TV gets. Gone is the low-budget cheese of so many past cable series, and in its place are strong performances from talented actors, a twisty plot revealed slowly and expertly and a gorgeous overall look that is more Hollywood hit than small screen crud.
The first of last night's eps, "Anvil," delivers on all these fronts and contains one of the most intense scenes in the entire series (big spoilers ahead!). For the uninitiated — or those not familiar with the original British series on which this "Prisoner" is based — James Caviezel plays a man called Six, who finds himself stranded in the mysterious Village with no memory of how he got there. »

'Prisoner' Debuts to 'Mad Men'-Level Ratings

AMC's three-part miniseries remake of classic U.K. series "The Prisoner" got off to a solid if unspectacular start Sunday, drawing 2.2 million viewers.
The total is only slightly off the season-average pace of AMC's signature series, "Mad Men," which averaged 2.3 million viewers for its just-completed third season.
Starring James Caviezel and Ian McKellen, "The Prisoner" represents the first series gestated under AMC's new »

Celeb-studded Bible audio book: Dylan McKay as Judas? Holy moly.
16 November 2009 12:00 PM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Better watch your back, Mel Gibson -- there's a new star-studded Bible in town: A 79-cd audio version, in fact, with quite the illustrious cast. There are a few obvious choices -- ahem, Jim Caviezel as Jesus? -- but a lot more unexpected ones: Jason Alexander as Joseph (as in technicolor dream coat), Lou Diamond Phillips as Mark, Harry Hamlin as Nehemiah, and my favorite, Luke Perry as Judas. Dylan McKay! Is Judas! The mind boggles. Also, Marisa Tomei lends her voice to Mary Magdalene, which is somewhere on the sublime border of "what the hell?" and "actually...yes." Poor »

Talk Back: AMC's "The Prisoner"
16 November 2009 7:53 AM, PST | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
"I am not a number, I am a free man!" You've had the chance to read my advance review of the six-hour miniseries version of The Prisoner on AMC as well as my interviews with the series' stars Jim Caviezel and Sir Ian McKellen and screenwriter Bill Gallagher and production designer Michael Pickwoad, but now that the first night of AMC's three-part miniseres has aired, I'm curious to see what you thought. Did you fall under the surreal spell of The Prisoner? Were you captivated by the nefarious Village? Did Sir Ian McKellen steal the show? What did you make of Six's struggle for individuality in a topsy-turvy world designed to force him into assimilation? Curious to see what's happening? What are your theories about what the Village truly is? Are you finding the plot engaging, confusing, or plodding? And, most importantly, will you stick around to watch Nights Two and Three of The Prisoner? »

Review: The Prisoner - Part One: Arrival
15 November 2009 7:00 PM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
(E01) I can't help but feel tempted to compare this to the Patrick McGoohan classic from the '60s, but that wouldn't be fair. Attitudes, technologies and even our expectations of TV programming have changed so much in the intervening time. And yet, as an homage to the original, there are many elements to this new AMC mini-series that nod back to the classic paranoia suspense saga.
While The Village has been updated to be a much larger and more vibrant desert oasis (think kitschy Las Vegas) than the original's sleepy seaside villas, it's still as much an enigma, even in this first hour. And while Jim Caviezel doesn't command the role of Number 6 as powerfully as McGoohan, really who could? So I give him a pass, and enjoy him for what he brings, and try not to hear McGoohan's booming defiance when Caviezel shouts: "I am not a number! »

AMC's The Prisoner Review: A Challenging Investment
15 November 2009 9:38 AM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
The Prisoner, a 'reimagining' of the iconic British fantasy drama from the 1960s, tells the story of a man who wakes up stranded in a strange place known as The Village. Given the name Six, he discovers that nobody in The Village knows of anything beyond its boundaries and that it is ruled by a single man . the mysterious Two.
Two at first tries to convince Six through persuasion that he belongs in The Village but when Six proves resistant, he goes to extreme measures to convince him to conform. Six continues to resist and attempts to discover where and who he really is.
The new mini-series kicks off tonight on AMC which has previously set a high standard with its outstanding dramas Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Unfortunately the first episode is something of a mess. Tasked with the difficult job of introducing the series' high concept, its characters and setting, »
'The Prisoner' to stuff six episodes into three days
14 November 2009 5:01 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
If you're planning on watching The Prisoner, you'd better get your TiVo ready. The entirity of The Prisoner will be aired over three nights, taking up two hour-long primetime blocks on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Each hour will constitute one of the six episodes of the series (that's all there's gonna be, folks), and is bound to create conflicts with members of its audience who also watch network television series. Shows like Heroes, House, and V, and The Prisoner may be in conflict with these shows for viewers (particularly V, which is also a remake of an older sci-fi miniseries).
So what should you watch? I would suggest going with The Prisoner for all three nights, considering it's an event of epic proportions (of course it's epic, it stars Gandalf and Jesus). There's no need to worry much about the ratings of shows like House and V — they're not going anywhere. »

HitFix Interview: Lennie James of AMC's 'The Prisoner'
13 November 2009 10:21 PM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
As one of the stars of CBS' "Jericho," Lennie James knows a thing or two about shows with obsessive fanbases, so he also knows what he's getting himself into on AMC's reimagining of "The Prisoner." In "The Prisoner," James plays 147, a helpful cabbie who welcomes Jim Caviezel's 6 into The Village. 147 is one of many characters in AMC's "Prisoner" who didn't feature in Patrick McGoohan's original, which ran from 1967-68 and is considered one of the small screen's pinnacles. 147 has a beautiful wife, a precocious daughter and the perfect life in The Village. Of course, nothing »

As amazing as it sounds, actor Jim Caviezel had never been exposed to The Prisoner before the script landed at his door. In our exclusive interview, Jim talks about how coming at the project from a new perspective gave him an edge few other actors had. Plus, now those Jsa episodes of Smallville are becoming a movie event, Fox yanks Dollhouse from life support and how about Dark Knight on DVD for $3.99.
