2011 has been a fairly good movie year. In the early months of 2011, the movies I saw were mostly from 2010-- a happily self-imposed prerequisite before watching the Golden Globes and the Oscars. But the following months after the awards season came the parade of Hollywood blockbuster movies, courtesy of my gig as a PinoyExchange.com movie reviewer of newly released movies that began in February. These commercial movies mostly make up my 2011 movie year, and although some of them did not provide me a soul-satisfying, mind-blowing experience, they are nonetheless very good movies worth watching the second, or third time around.
So, here's my Top 10 Movies of 2011, in no preferential order:
1. Super 8
2. The Adventures of Tintin
3. X-Men: First Class
4. Crazy, Stupid, Love.
5. Rise of the Planet of the Apes
6. Ang Babae sa Septic Tank (local indie)
7. One Day (the movie that made me cry in 2011)
8. 50/50
9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
10. Thelma (local indie)
And in case you also want to know...
My Top 5 movies that I saw this year, but not released in 2011:
1. 127 Hours (2010)
2. Trust (2010)

4. Rabbit Hole (2010)
5. Howl (2010)

All in all, 2011 has been an entertaining movie year. But without the 2010 nominated films, it would have been a so-so movie year for me.
Well..HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Here's wishing us a plethora of soul-satisfying and intense cinematic experience in 2012!

I liked Drive too, but I wouldn't put it in my top 20.
As for foreign films, I also like La Vita e Bella. Have you seen Amelie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Swedish version), and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon? They are also my favourite non-English language films.
Yes, I have seen Amelie and Crouching...
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? I didn't know that a Swedish version exists. Will look for a copy. :D
Excited to see Hugo, The Artist, The Descendants, and Shame, too.:)

You're welome. :)
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a very interesting science fiction movie. I actually think that it is possible for chimps to be as smart as humans . . . or even smarter.
Anne Hathaway and James Sturgess look good together. However in the movie, Anne's British accent could use some improvement. James Sturgess did otherwise.
This year, I can't wait for the screening of 'The Avengers' and the next installment of 'G.I. Joe' I'm really a big fan of action movies based from popular action tv cartoons. =)
