The Best (and Worst) of 2011

Man, we saw a lot of movies in 2011.  I mean a lot.  What does that say about someone who goes to movies that much and doesn't get paid for it?  I'm not sure I want to know but I'll tell you one thing...I've enjoyed it tremendously!  I mean, who wouldn't?  And because our husbands have so graciously agreed to support our movie habit we are continuing on in 2012.  But before we get into the new year we wanted to give a little recap of the movies that really stood out to us.  Both the good and bad.  So here's my list (with links back to my original reviews).  And remember that these were all the movies we saw in 2011 and not ones that necessarily came out in 2011.

The Best of 2011 

• The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - such a great ending to the year
• Black Swan - loved the darkness in this one
• The King's Speech - I had goosebumps multiple times while watching this
• The Way - a refreshing, thought provoking movie
• Crazy, Stupid, Love - one of the best romantic comedies I've seen in a long time
• Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2 - what a way to end the saga!
• Warrior - a surprising hit

The Worst of 2011

• The Three Musketeers - I can't believe Orlando Bloom agreed to be in this
• 30 Minutes or Less - not sure I would even rent this one 
• Bad Teacher - Cameron Diaz was so annoying in this movie
• Your Highness - Ugh, this was just awful
• Beastly - bad modern day remake
• Just Go With It - a romantic comedy gone bad
• Something Borrowed - the storyline just didn't do it for me

Honorable Mentions

• The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I - still doesn't compare to the book but the movies are definitely getting better with each one
• The Help - loved the book, loved the movie
• Bridesmaids - this was a really great comedy
• Justin Bieber: Never Say Never - I know this wasn't the greatest movie but the experience was just plain fun
• 50/50 - touching and genuine
