Went to see War Horse. It’s beautifully filmed, but unbelievable and sappy and much too long.
To each his own.
I’m going to see The Adventures of Tintin tomorrow.
Somehow, I came across “Attack the Block”, and watched it with my kids. Some parts are a bit violent, but overall, I really enjoyed it. Not a great film, and it was british quirky in some ways, but an enjoyable film, worth the rental price.
Sherlock Holmes
Mission: Impossible
Tin-Tin
Hugo
War Horse
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Don't know that I'll get to see them all on the big screen, but they all look interesting.
I rarely see movies, maybe two or three a year.
Of those movies listed, I am only interested in seeing War Horse.
Movies were UUTER CRAP this year.
I wouldn’t really care at all if Hollywood ceased to exist at this point.
Have you ever noticed that there is somewhat of a correlation between great and enduring movies and the number of female parts in them.
Lawrence of Arabia
Saving Private Ryan
Schindlers List
Ben Hur
Very few females in these movies.
I’ll add Real Steel to that list. Really liked that movie.
Hugo was fantastic.
Can't remember how many movies I actually saw this year now that the kids go with friends.
I saw Captain America, which was fun, but the ending was a tad sub-par.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was entertaining and had a positive ending, despite knowing what the future would hold for mankind (if you consider this a prequel to the original -- or a reimaging of Escape and Conquest)
And nothing else is coming to mind.
Just went through the top 200 grossing movies of the year -- I don't think I've seen any but the ones I mentioned. wow.
I have to disagree with half your top ten list, but everyone has a different taste and opinion.
Hugo and Drive were really great films.
Bridesmaids got honorable mention? For what, crap pile of the year?
We rented this through Netflix and turned it off before the end of the first acr. We were hoping that they had front loaded the adolescent vulgarity like they do in so many movies, but the excrement just kept flowing. The final straw was the main character’s mother casually discussing an acquaintance “bl**jobbing” to support himself.
That movie was written for 15-year-olds.
Ping to self
I rarely go to films because my husband dislikes all film, but did manage to see Midnight in Paris on a plane. I would never fork over direct cash to Woody Allen, that pervert, but despite a few scenes of gratuitous conservative bashing, the rest of the movie is hilarious. The Hemingway scenes alone made the movie worth viewing.
The Artist. Silent. Black and White. Masterpiece.
