2011 in Movies

Best 11 Movies of 2011:
50/50- My favorite movie of 2011. Definitely go see, especially with your best friend. Heartwarming, hilarious, and a great story accompanied by great acting and a great soundtrack.
Crazy Stupid Love- One of the best romantic comedies I have seen in a long time, and probably one of the best ones made in a long time. Beautiful intimacy, great acting, and hilarious.
Our Idiot Brother- So good. Great message. Beautiful people, beautiful heart of Ned, the brother. One of the funniest this year.
We Bought a Zoo- Such a phenomenal story. True story too. So natural, and a great follow your dreams story.
X-Men: First Class- Best superhero movie this year, among a slew of them. Amazing characters, great story and development, and just all around brilliant.
The Muppets- Such a blast from the past, and so delightful. It worked so perfectly, reminded me of my childhood, and left me feeling warm. So funny too.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part 2- THE END OF HARRY POTTER. A great end, a well put together movie, and so sentimental for me.
Captain America: The First Avenger- My other favorite superhero movie this year. Captain America has a great story, and the movie was excellent and beautiful.
Attack the Block- Such a different but great movie. Super interesting and fun, worth the wait since it wasn't in theaters.
The Bang Bang Club- Great true story of photographers in South Africa. Super deep movie.
Source Code- A really fun and unique movie, a great story idea and done well. Left you with questions and curiosity at the end, which was great.

Please Don't go See:
Young Adult- Awful movie about an awful person who becomes more awful at the end rather than better. There is a little hope at the end, but it's crushed by a weirdly creepy character. Don't' go see it.
Super- Bah. Messed up movie. Not funny like Kick-Ass. Just sad.

Honorable mention:
Rubber- Just. So funny. And weird. Not even sure what to say.
