Must Watch: Matthew Shapiro's '2010: The Cinescape'

For the last four years, we've been featuring Matthew Shapiro's yearly film video montages (you can watch the videos which highlight previous years here: 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006. His latest video, 2010: The Cinescape has been released just in time for the new year. This year Shapiro edited the video to The Killers' "A Dustland Fairytale" , a more upbeat tune than last year's Radiohead. Here is a note from Matt:

I am a huge believer in the notion that while some films may be for adults and others for kids, and while some films may be of higher quality than those aimed at the lowest common denominator, escaping into the world of a film is a universal experience that we all crave, no matter who we are or how greatly our tastes differ. The goal of this video is to at least begin to capture the essence of what that lose-yourself-to-film feeling is like...and to show just how many kick-ass movies 2010 gave us (because it's pretty easy to forget).

Watch the video now, embedded after the jump.
