I don't think 2011 has been the best year in film, but my picks for 2011 are:
1. Closer to the Edge Isle of Mann TT move - Got free tickets to this movie about the Isle of Mann TT race. Wasn't really keen but I knew my husband would be. I am now officially a massive Guy Martin fan, and going to watch an Isle of Mann TT race is number 1 on my bucket list. Amazing.
2. Drive - Ryan Gosling doesn't put a foot wrong in my opinion. In this movie he plays a stunt car driver for hire. Life gets complicated when he falls for his neighbour, the so lovely Carey Mulligan. There is not much talking in this movie, but man does it pack a punch. Violent and tender at the same time. Liked it a lot.
3. Tree of LIfe - Terence Malik's absolute work of art. This movie really made an impact on me. Outstanding.
These are the movies i saw this year:
Peter Weir's The Way Back - solid. I really like Jim Sturgess. An incredible story.
The Company Men - Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner star. I really liked this, i think Jeremy Renner is my favorite actor of his generation.
Gnomeo and Juliet - wanted to slit my wrists. The worst.
Just Go With It - why do i do this to myself? I have to face the fact that Adam Sandler is terrible, and god knows i cannot stand Jennifer Aniston... With each Adam Sandler film I see, I die a little.
Justin Bieber Never Say Never - I'm a belieber
The Adjustment Bureau - not too bad. I like Matt Damon and this was a stock standard thriller. I saw this one on a plane. It's a good plane movie.
Rango - I hated this. Johnny Depp bores me. And he plays another trembly character in this one.
Red Riding Hood - stunning, but terrible.
Limitless - i liked this one a lot.
Water for Elephants - good god! awful.
Thor - saw this with Nick and the kids. Good fun.
The Hangover 2 - badly reviewed, but I still enjoyed it.
Terence Malik's The Tree of Life - I loved this. This movie moved me so much.
Transformers Dark of the Moon - i'm a big Transformer's fan. I don't think these can be reviewed per se. They are amazing visually, and such good fun.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 - cannot believe this big part of my life is over. I have read and re-read, watched and re-watched Harry Potter so many many times over the years... I was so emotional seeing this film. I loved it.
The Guard - great! Loved it! One of my favorites this year.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - terrifying!!!
Glee the movie 3D - LOVE GLEE!!!
Drive - i think my pick for 2011. Very good.
Footloose - the remake. No Kevin Bacon, but i loved it. I don't think it could have been better re-made. :-)
