her very lifestyle is a sin
"Irina Marina is the blackest person I've never met. She also hates books. She buys them with her drug dealer money just to shoot them full of holes with her drug dealer gun." - labelleza
ooops i forgot to mention the Help hadnt read the book but really enjoyed the film. am going to see what theyve done to The Girl with.... tonight
men plan. Fate laughs
This has been such a shite year for movies. To be honest I didn't bother to go see many. However, I did enjoy The Skin I Live In, Drive and Tree of Life (sort of).
I don't know whether I should watch The Skin I Live In. The movie gives the impression of being somewhat boring.
I want more than them
That's the difference
The last Harry Potter went well. I don't remember what else I saw this year.
"Tuffy, you're a Dalek, but only because you're only being kept alive by metal, science and hatred." - ScubaSteve1729
That's pretty much exactly what I was about to say.
"after feeling under the weather a few days one time I went to check my symptoms online. web MD informed me I had Scarlet Fever." -Cam Cam
"I think I got hit on too. An 80-year-old woman said my glasses are very attractive. I told her that hers were pretty nice too.". -Steve

50/50
"For most of this century, scientists have worshiped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets."
50/50 is good. i wasn't expecting much when i saw it.
harry potpot is also another but from what i remember, the king's speech takes it this year for me.
edit: king's speech is 2010? my world is destroyed now.
Martha Marcy May Marlene
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Argh! Wikipedia lied to me! I was looking at a list of movies released in 2011 and it was on that damn list.
I want more than them
That's the difference
I saw it in 2011, so there.
her very lifestyle is a sin
"Irina Marina is the blackest person I've never met. She also hates books. She buys them with her drug dealer money just to shoot them full of holes with her drug dealer gun." - labelleza
Melancholia
Really, don't bother. Nothing happens and then the world ends.
But first, nothing happens. For over two hours.
And then the world ends.
/spoilers
"Tuffy, you're a Dalek, but only because you're only being kept alive by metal, science and hatred." - ScubaSteve1729
Harry Potter and Drive are the only two movies I remember going to the movies to see. I didn't do a lot of movie watching this year, it feels like. I saw a few movies that came about before. But I didn't feel like there were a lot of movies I was really excited to see.
That's okay, Drive made it all worth it.
MONEYBALL!!!!!!
That is all.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
"The year 2011 is notable for containing the release of the most film sequels in a single year, at 28." - Wikipedia.
Really says something, yeah?
Of the films released in 2011, I saw the following:
- Gnomeo & Juliet - Passable animated children's film. Not particularly worth seeing again.
- Red Riding Hood - Shit.
- Rio - Better animated children's film.
- Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil - Animated children's film. I fell asleep. Cannot rate beyond that.
- X-Men: First Class - Suck.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 - A solid entry in the Potter series and a good ending.
- Captain America: The First Avenger - No Iron Man, but a decent super hero action flick.
- Cowboys & Aliens - Decent. Loses its way at the ending.
- Melancholia - Two hours of boredom and then the world ends.
So... Best movies of 2011 from what I saw were Harry Potter and Captain America.
Sad.
"Tuffy, you're a Dalek, but only because you're only being kept alive by metal, science and hatred." - ScubaSteve1729
I think the only movie I saw (at the movies) last year was Harry Potter.
Mine were, in total; cinema, PPV, TV, cable, whatever. I saw exactly one of those films at the theater - Harry Potter. Weird thing is I was certain I made it to the theater more than once this past year, but if I did, IMDB nor Wikipedia list it as being released this year. Very odd.
"Tuffy, you're a Dalek, but only because you're only being kept alive by metal, science and hatred." - ScubaSteve1729
You need to see Drive, Tuffy. I'm convinced that'd take the place of either of those movies. Though, you didn't actually see it IN 2011
Drive was awful.

I bet none of you profanities even saw it! Blasphemy to even mention michaelbaycrap like captain america in this thread.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
You're so much better than absolutely everyone else, Garrett. You should run for office.
"Tuffy, you're a Dalek, but only because you're only being kept alive by metal, science and hatred." - ScubaSteve1729
I liked X-Men: First Class.
I'm still not sure what to think of Tree of Life. I need to see it again.

I'm still not sure what to think of Tree of Life. I need to see it again.
I feel the same way about Tree of Life...I thought it was a beautiful, visual film but that's all I got out of it. I need to see it again.
"For most of this century, scientists have worshiped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets."
Been there done that twice. And you know this, maaaaaaan.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you remembered.
"Tuffy, you're a Dalek, but only because you're only being kept alive by metal, science and hatred." - ScubaSteve1729
Drive was fantastic.
Muppets were great.
Capt Am and XMen were good.
God, what else did I see?
Oh yeah. Money ball was good.
Brides Maids was funny.
I don't even remember if I went to the movies in 2011... I'm sure I did though.
I have the memory of a goldfish. Just another reason I should do a daily journal.
