Happy New Year.

And a 2011 movie recap.

So I have been working on my movie awards (the Nerdies) and in preparation for this created a data base of all the movies I reviewed last year.  It was a lot.  90 movies, to be precise.  Kind of a staggering amount, and I saw a lot of crap and a lot of good stuff.  If you are interested in any of these reviews (most are pretty good in my less than humble opinion) you can choose the month on the right and scroll until you find it, or just search it out on Google.  Here is the list:

War Horse 30-Dec-2011 9 4 Good movie, but hard to watch if you like horses
The Darkest Hour 28-Dec-2011 7 9 Invisible aliens land to steal resourses and PG-13 dissolve most of humanity.
The Adventures of TinTin in 3D 27-Dec-2011 4 8 Tintin proves you don’t need a bad actor to have a dull performance.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 22-Dec-2011 14 5 Great mystery movie as long as you can stomach bad accents and rape.
Mision Impossible Ghost Protocal 21-Dec-2011 13 5 Tom Cruise delivers a decent performance in spite of one of the worst villian motivations possible.
Young Adult 18-Dec-2011 6 4 The movie equivelent of eating celary: you will not gain anything from it, but neither will you be hurt by it.
Sherlock Holmes: a Game of Shadows 17-Dec-2011 14 2 Entertaining, and at least they tried to make sure all the characters actually had appropriate accents.
New Years Eve 16-Dec-2011 1 16 Ever want to feel like you are being water boarded while watching a film?  Then this is the film for you.
I am Singh 4-Dec-2011 6 13 This film drives a dead point straight into your brainpan.
Arthur Christmas in 3D 1-Dec-2011 Fun, as long as you can watch Justin Beiber without killing someone.
The Descendants 27-Nov-2011 9 5 Somehow drama seems less impactful when it is occuring in paradise.
Hugo 3D 26-Nov-2011 9 4 Taxi Driver it is not.
The Muppets 25-Nov-2011 12 3 Best puppet movie I have seen in a long time.
The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 22-Nov-2011 4 10 Can someone tell me when vampires became so wimpy?
J Edgar 20-Nov-2011 8 4 A decent character study, and a mediocre History Channel documentary.
Jack and Jill 18-Nov-2011 2 17 The only thing you could regret doing more than watching this is eating a huge bowl of Ex Lax ice cream.
The Immortals 3D 16-Nov-2011 7 7 If you feel like you want to see a movie where you really don’t care who wins, this is the one.  Also really stupid headgear.
Tower Heist 9-Nov-2011 11 4 Fun and entertaining, if you can believe a window washing crane can life a car made of gold that must weigh in at 100 tons.
In Time 30-Oct-2011 9 7 This movie won’t make you want to kill yourself, but neither will it inspire you to take up running.
Johny English Reborn 26-Oct-2011 3 6 Toxic waste martini.
The Three Musketeers in 3d 23-Oct-2011 5 13 A mediocre Resident Evil sans zombie, Umbrella corp, good story, and believable action.
Ides of March 20-Oct-2011 7 5 What’s more boring than a presidential primary campaign?  How about a movie about one?
The Thing 17-Oct-2011 12 3 One of the few prequils that didn’t put a bullet in the rest of the series.
Footloose 15-Oct-2011 3 8 What part of the original screamed out “Remake me scene for scene?”
Dream House 9-Oct-2011 4 5 This movie is actually like three smaller movies fed into a blender and set to puree.
Real Steel 8-Oct-2011 13 3 Who doesn’t love big robots beating on each other?
What’s Your Number? 2-Oct-2011 6 8 This movie clearly illustrates the danger of reading those dumb relationship articles in women’s magazines.
50/50 1-Oct-2011 11 3 Decent movie, if you like stories about cancer.
Abduction 28-Sep-2011 2 13 This movie is less like watching a film and more like running a marathon wearing underwear that is three sizes too small.
Killer Elite 27-Sep-2011 6 10 The only thing this movie killed was my sense of faith in the honesty of film marketing.
Moneyball 26-Sep-2011 12 4 Surprising good.  Go A’s!
Bucky Larson: Born to be a Star 20-Sep-2011 3 13 The main character has massive buck teeth and his name is Bucky.  Do you really need anything more to understand how much this movie could suck?
Straw Dogs 19-Sep-2011 5 8 Basically a Roadrunner cartoon, if Wile E Coyote was a gang of white trash rapists.
Drive 18-Sep-2011 10 6 This movie felt short on both driving and acting.  In retrospect I think I was overly generous with the stars.
Warrior 14-Sep-2011 10 2 What is this strange, new feeling you humans call excitement?  I think I like it.
Contagion 12-Sep-2011 9 3 If you have a friend who doesn’t wash his or her hands after using the bathroom tie them down and clip their eyes open A Clockwork Orange style and force them to watch this one.
The Guard 11-Sep-2011 10 3 An Irish bad boy cop movie.
Apollo 18 6-Sep-2011 9 1 Everyone else seems to think this one sucked, but it scared the hell out of me.  Maybe I was a little Monty Hall with the stars.
The Debt 3-Sep-2011 6 5 This movie answers the ultimate filmaker question, “Can an exciting spy thriller be filmed entirely in a crappy East German apartment?”  The answer is no.
Saving Private Perez 2-Sep-2011 10 5 Not bad, as long as you are ok with the US Army looking about as effective as a troop of Boy Scouts.
One Day 31-Aug-2011 4 12 It’s been three months and I’m still trying to scrape this one off my cerebral cortex.
Our Idiot Brother 30-Aug-2011 11 5 As long as hippies don’t put you into a murderous frenzy, this movie is kind of fun.
Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark 28-Aug-2011 15 6 A great case study of creepy terror and neglectful parenting.
Columbiana 27-Aug-2011 7 8 Another movie that sucked me in with a great trailer.  This is a sequel that really shouldn’t have been made.
Attack the Block 26-Aug-2011 9 3 Decent movie, but it really felt like a student film with a modest budget.
Fright Night 3D 21-Aug-2011 7 7 Funny, but it couldn’t decide if it was comedy or terror.
Conan the Barbarian in 3D 19-Aug-2011 7 18 Sucktastic.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II 17-Aug-2011 13 4 Good movie, but I spent months thing it was the Deathly Hollows, as in a geographic location like Sleepy Hollow.
Tree of Life 14-Aug-2011 6 14 I wish I could bottle up this film and throw it into the sun.
30 Minutes or Less 12-Aug-2011 10 4 Funny movie, but I challenge anyone who has seen it to remember any specific funny lines or scenes a week afterwards.
The Help 10-Aug-2011 10 4 Good movie, and managed to not make me feel guilty for being born white.
The Change Up 8-Aug-2011 3 12 Did I really watch this turn on my birthday?  I have no self love whatsoever.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes 6-Aug-2011 14 0 Really, really, really good (really).
The Smurfs in 3D 3-Aug-2011 9 2 Another case of nostalgia overcoming my normally vicious reviewing instincts.
Crazy, Stupid Love 1-Aug-2011 7 12 They got the stupid part right.
Cowboys and Aliens 29-Jul-2011 13 4 I still can’t figure out why this movie didn’t make more money.
Friends With Benefits 28-Jul-2011 9 5 I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but when I think back the stuff that annoyed me is what sticks in my head.
Capt. America: the First Avenger 22-Jul-2011 17 8 A good, of very PC, comic book movie.
Winnie the Pooh 20-Jul-2011 Yes, I reviewed this one.
The Zookeeper 17-Jul-2011 6 14 I don’t really want Kevin James to die.  I just want him to go away and never impact my optic nerves ever again.
Horrible Bosses 12-Jul-2011 6 9 What’s a good recipe for a script?  How about a story where you hate every character in it equally?
Midnight in Paris 11-Jul-2011 9 4 If you can stomach a lot of Owen Wilson this one is pretty good.
Bad Teacher 9-Jul-2011 9 6 Pretty much Cameron Diaz’s last chance to play the hot chick.
Larry Crown 4-Jul-2011 10 5 Decent in a middle sort of way.  Designed to appeal to middle aged middle America.
Transformers Dark of the Moon in 3D 30-Jun-2011 16 14 Probably the longest review I wrote all year.
Troll Hunter 19-Jun-2011 12 1 This is what movies should be like.
Green Lantern 18-Jun-2011 7 17 God aweful.
Super 8 12-Jun-2011 12 7 Decent movie, but I still hate you J.J. Abrams.
X-Men First Class 4-Jun-2011 18 4 My favorite comic book movie of the year.
The Hangover Part II 31-May-2011 10 17 Transexual sex jokes a go go.
Bridesmaids 26-May-2011 14 7 An R rated movie that didn’t drive me nuts.
Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides 23-May-2011 11 9 More brain candy from Johnny Depp
Priest 18-May-2011 7 5 Catholic priest super ninjas.
Dylan Dog, Dead of the Night 12-May-2011 5 13 An attempt to make a movie that was so bad it was good that resulted in a film that was just bad.
Thor 9-May-2011 15 6 More proof that women dig a hot bod more than any amount of personality, wit, or a connection.
Fast Five 7-May-2011 12 5 I never would have imagined that a driving movie would be fun to watch.
Water for Elephants 4-May-2011 6 11 I wish they had used to water to drown the scriptwriters.
Hanna 19-Apr-2011 10 7 Anyone have an idea why the kick ass teenage super spy in every movie has to be a waifish girl?
Source Code 15-Apr-2011 6 2 Groundhog Day meets Die Hard. 
Arthur 13-Apr-2011 6 4 A drunken rich reprobate stubmles across NYC and learns nothing.
Your Highness 10-Apr-2011 9 3 Not only fun, but kind of what I imagine most real quests to have been like.
Sucker Punch 28-Mar-2011 12 8 If you can see this as a visual comic book it is brilliant.
Rubber 24-Mar-2011 7 4 If you can’t say something surreal, say gophers like pink bubblegum.
Paul 23-Mar-2011 16 1 I liked this movie.  It is nerds doing what nerds do, with an alien.
Battle: Los Angeles 16-Mar-2011 12 9 Aliens are here after our water, because it is such a rare item in the universe.
Drive Angry in 3D 2-Mar-2011 8.5 8 Kind of reminiscent of the Terminator if the Terminator was both hornier and more robot-like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I Am Number Four

 

 23-Feb-2011 3 12 This movie makes me weep for the next generation.  (I’m Number One Image courtesy of the Star Trek T Shirt category)
The Green Hornet 22-Jan-2011 10 9 Never let Seth Rogan write another super hero movie.
Season of the Witch 16-Jan-2011 8 8 This film was like a contest between the story, the action, and the acting to see who could suck the most.  I think the audience lost.
True Grit 5-Jan-2011 11 5 A lot of fun, really, and the best remake of the year IMO.
