From “Inception” to “Toy Story 3”, the RefinedHype Summer Movie Awards

As our summer slowly comes to an end and we begin to prepare for the fall, Refined Hype takes a look back at the past 3 months in theater. Feel free to share your votes in the comments section below.
Personally, I think this has been one of the worst summers in years. With the exception of a few select films, there haven’t been many standouts. Nevertheless, here are my picks for the Refined Hype Summer Wrap-Up:

Best Film: "Toy Story 3": The movie that got everything right. From an incredible cast of voice actors, an inspired plot, to wonderful animation, "Toy Story 3" is a perfect film.
Runner-Up: "Inception".

Worst Film: "The Last Airbender": One of the worst films that I have ever sat through, "The Last Airbender" exceeded my expectations of awfulness and thus reached unforeseen levels of bad.
Runner-Up: "Vampires Suck".

Best Horror Film:"Piranha 3-D". Despite a lackluster commercial, "Piranha 3D" ended up becoming one of the summer’s biggest surprises. The acting is awful, the script is clichéd, and the CGI is horrendous, but this is flat out one of the most entertaining films of the summer. (Think “Snakes On A Plane” in the water.)
Runner-Up: "The Last Exorcism"

Best Action Film: "Inception". This was by far the easiest category for me to choose a winner. In terms of quality and action, no one came close to “Inception”.
Runner-Up: "The Expendables".

Best Comedy: "The Other Guys". Tied with my choice for runner-up, I give "The Other Guys" the edge for proving that, even after “Land of the Lost”, Will Ferrell still has a career in him.
Runner-Up: "Get Him to the Greek".

Best Animated Film: "Toy Story 3". This is a no brainer.
Runner-Up: "How to Train Your Dragon"

Best Performance by a “Raptor”: Diddy, "Get Him to the Greek": As I said in my review, I think Diddy has found his forte. The rap thing isn’t working out for him (will “Last Train to Paris” ever leave the station?) so why not make the career move?
Runner-Up: Common, "Just Wright"

Best Movie That You Slept On: "Scott Pilgrim v. The World": I’m not sure what went wrong here. Despite excellent reviews and a solid cast, “Scott Pilgrim” didn’t even crack the Top 3 in box office. Shame on you, America. Shame on you.
Runner-Up: "The Kids are All Right"

Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role: Leonardo DiCaprio, "Inception". Another no brainer.
Runner-Up: Robert Downey Jr., "Iron Man 2"

Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role: Annette Bening, "The Kids Are All Right". I can see the Oscar already.
Runner-Up: Marion Cotillard, "Inception".

Best Sequel: "Toy Story 3": As the only sequel to come out this summer that can hold a candle to its predecessors, "Toy Story 3" is fucking awesome.
Runner-Up: "Iron Man 2".

Most Disappointing: "Robin Hood": There was a bit of debate about this one but I stand by my word. Ridley Scott’s latest is a piece of crap. This is coming from a huge fan of his filmography.
Runner-Up: "Splice"

Shame On You For Buying a Ticket to: "Vampires Suck": Honestly, if you paid for this, we don’t get along.
Runner-Up: "The Last Airbender"

Most Misleading Preview: "Kick-Ass". Technically, “Kick-Ass” was released at the end of spring but I’m counting it anyway.
Runner-Up: "Scott Pilgrim v. The World"

Best 3-D Experience: "Piranha 3D". Limbs flying at you and an overload of half-naked three-dimensional supermodels. It doesn’t get more family oriented than this.
Runner-Up: "Toy Story 3"

Best Cameo: Diddy, "Get Him to the Greek". “This is a game changer”, “Do you know how many Air Jordan’s six black kids wear?”, “Where are you? Why haven't you called? I'm calling you right now and I just got hit by a motherfucking car”, “Where are you? I’m going to kill you! Smiley face“, “You can’t outrun me! I’m black!”, “This is what old pussy used to look like in the 70’s”, “Stop smiling like that. You look like an 8-year-old who just discovered his first boner”, “You’re one pink shirt away from Carlton.” These are just a few of the magical one liners that Puffy shared in less than 15 minutes of actual screen-time. If that’s not a mind fuck then I don’t know what is.
Runner-Up: Arnold Schwarzenegger, "The Expendables"
