So now, that it is March, I can recap my favorite films of the previous year. I could say this is because February is full of crap releases and now I can finally look forward in the year, but it is more to do aboot laziness. I finally watched all the "good" movies and now I can do a proper list.
Do some of the Oscar nominees and winners make it into my list?!
Read more to find out.
Yes, yes they do.
SOOOOOOO here is my top 5:
1. Scott Pilgrim vs The World- My opinions on this have been made clear. It is my #10 favorite film of all time. Epic is epic is epic.
10/10
IMDB: 7.8
RT: 81%
2. Toy Story 3- I literally just explained my opinion on it on the last post. It is #22 on my all-time list. And the only other movie to get a 10.
10/10
3. Shutter Island- Somewhat hypocritically, this was released last February. It is a psychologically thriller featuring Leo DiCaprio going crazy. He is a US marshal looking into a missing patient from a high-security insane asylum. Things start going weird. There is a lot of tension. And the ending is awesome as it sure be for this genre. The last line....well penultimate line.... of the film is very awesome and resounding. The ending could have been a bit more ambiguous, but w/e. Also Mark Ruffalo is there, and he's a cool guy. But this is Leo's film as with any movie he is in. He should have totally gotten an Oscar nom.
9/10
IMDB: 8.0
RT: 68% (Whaaaaaaat?)
4. Inception- Also, discussed this yesterday.
9/10
IMDB: 8.9
RT: 86%
5. Black Swan- I totally mentioned this movie earlier.....when could it have been?
9/10
IMDB: 8.5
RT: 88%
Also, these:
6. The Fighter- Mentioned yesterday.
9/10
IMDB: 8.1
RT: 90%
7. Kick-Ass- Nick Cage is actually awesome. Crazy violence that I wasn't expecting honestly.
9/10
IMDB: 8.0
RT: 76%
8. Easy A- A high school comedy that was actually great. Emma Stone is cooli-o. Has some great jokes and dialogue.
This scene problably wins it:
Parents that are actually funny, whatddaya know...
8/10
IMDB: 7.2
RT: 86%
9. The Kid's Are All Right- I totally had a separate review for this, go find it.
8/10
IMDB: 7.3
RT: 94%
10. 4.3.2.1.- I will discuss it in the following section.
Guilty pleasures of the year:
Movies that maybe aren't so great, but I enjoyed.
4.3.2.1.- Take place over 3 days. But follows 4 friends, who are attractive ~20 year old girls as evidence of this poster. Also, they're British.....thought you'd like to know. They do they're own thing, and you see some of them in passing in interesting situations. When the plot-line of one character reaches a certain points, the film goes back to the beginning, but then follows another person. It is very entertaining. There is an overarching action-y plot, which isn't all that impressive, but the things that happen in between is interesting. Also, all of the girls find moments when they need to be scantily clad, which is always cool. It is entertaining, and that's all I need some time.
8/10
IMDB: 5.9
RT: 36%
Repo Men- A great action movie. Jude Law's character repossesses artificial organs. Then in brutal irony he gets an artificial heart and falls behind on payments. He goes on the run! Intense fighting. And the cool thing is that there is a twist at the end. Maybe I should have seen it coming if I payed more attention, but it was still pretty awesome. Just sort of mindless action for the most part, but I had fun with it.
8/10
IMDB:
RT: 22%
Disappointment:
Date Night- Stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey so it should have been epic. But it was just mediocre. Oh well.
6/10
IMDB: 6.4
RT: 67%
