2010 marked the end of the first decade of the 21st Century and
brought with it some of the great entertainment news and releases.
Amongst
the best from the music world was the news early on in the year that
Hot Chip were releasing their eagerly awaited 4th album, One Life Stand.
With a raft of good album reviews, it cemented their place at the heart
of British alternative electro. The year also saw The Libertines reform
for a reportedly lucrative performance at the Reading and Leeds
festivals alongside Canadian legends Arcade Fire. The Strokes returned
to form at The Isle of White festival with Paul McCartney, Indie Tracks
grew a little bit bigger and a big push was put together to save the 100
Club.
In terms of album reviews, The Coral's Butterfly House was
also a high scorer alongside the likes of Arcade Fire with Suburbs,
Vampire Weekend's Contra and Broken Bells. However, it was MGMT's
Congratulations that made the year great.
Film news included the
planned reboot of the Spider-Man series, bringing a new twist on the
storyline and a whole new cast. It was also announced that the long
awaited Transformers 3 was going into production and that the title for
the film was Dark Side of the Moon. There were also rumours that an Alan
Partridge movie was back on the cards, but rumours like this have been
circulating for a while.
The big film releases for the year were
Kick-Ass, Toy Story 3 and Avatar, which proposed to take movie
entertainment to a whole new level by reintroducing 3D popularity to
cinema viewing.
Documentary follow up to Wonders of the Solar
System, Wonders of the Universe, was the big TV news, as well as the
release of the Alan Partidge Fosters Shorts online instead of on the
television. 2010 also saw the return of Miranda to the BBC, as well as a
short Sherlock series starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman,
and a whole new Dr Who series with Matt Smith taking the lead role of
The Doctor.
The big entertainment news in the gaming world in 2010
was the launch of Sony and Microsoft equivalents to the Nintendo Wii
controllers. The Xbox Kinect and the PlayStation Move made it possible
to play PS3 & Xbox 360 games with motion sensitivity controls. 2010
also saw the release of the groundbreaking Back to the Future computer
game, which was released in monthly installments.
At the theatres,
there was a raft of great shows that began in 2010, including
Frankenstein at the National Theatre, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Bedlam, by Nell Leyshon, made history by becoming the first play written
by a women to be performed at The Globe Theatre.
Finally, the art
world provided some great additions to entertainment news, including
Gabriel Orozco's exciting exhibition at the Tate Modern, Philippe
Parreno's work at the Serpentine Gallery and the introduction of
stunningly crafted elephants to the streets of London. If that wasn't
enough, there was also controversy as the 2009 Wildlife Photographer of
the Year winner was disqualified at the beginning of the year.
