In the last decade it suddenly became cool to be a geek, Hollywood began investing in comic books, celebrities felt free to proclaim their love for nerd genres (just look at Jonothan Ross and his Japanorama series), gaming became a family event and even Star Trek became a box-office hit.
2010 doesn't seem to be bucking this trend, so let's have a look at what I'm looking foward to this coming year.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Iron Man 2
Toy Story 3
The Princess and the Frog
Ponyo
Clash of the Titans
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1
Alice in Wonderland

Hello 2010, Goodbye 10th Doctor
It's a brand new year and decade, but with the end of 2009 also came the end of David Tennant, and I for one shall miss his Converse, glasses and quirky catchprases. Without doubt Tennant's portrayal of the time travelling man from Galifrey has been embedded into the consciousness of a whole new generation of Whovians.
So, how can Matt Smith hope to continue on Tennant's popular character? Well, judging by his first few minutes in the role and the teaser trailer I'd say he's already managed to carve himself a new and interesting Doctor. For a start his look captures the conflicted nature of the last Time Lord, a young looking man who appears to be in his early 20s who chooses to wear garb that harks back to the earlier 20th Century. Even his face draws you in, with it's slightly odd shape and longish full hair he looks familiar and approachable from a distant yet once closer you can sense a difference.
Good luck Matt Smith, this spring can't come fast enough!
And just on a side note, the new logo, yay or nay?
