2011

2011 | Watched and reviewed out of 10

There is a movie that will suit how you feel no matter what mood you’re in. Sadly, not all of the movies we watch are great. Any movie that receives a score of 8 or above is a great movie, and any movie that receives a score of 3 or below, is a bad movie and should be avoided.

  • Adjustment Bureau
    Adjustment Bureau
    Hard to say whether this movie was an action thriller or a romance, perhaps it was a rom-action? Loved the concept but it did get a little lost in the middle and the ending was very hollywood and very ordinary. 7/10
  • Babies
    Babies
    A hard movie to get hold of. A brief look in to the lives of four babies in four different parts of the world 6/10
  • Black Swan
    Black Swan
    Over the top Dramatic scene’s make this an intense and brilliant movie 9/10
  • Brides Maids
    Brides Maids
    There are some classic moments but sadly they are view and far between. The rest of the time you are just cringing at awkward moments. I was pleased, very pleased when it was over 3/10
  • Catfish
    Catfish
    It kinda makes you feel like this really did happen, and the scary thing is it probably does 7/10
  • Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian
    Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian
    A slow start but it was cinematically magical 6/10
  • Charlie St Cloud
    Charlie St Cloud
    Didn’t like the glossy cinematography in this movie, and the story was very ordinary 5/10
  • Cherrybomb
    Cherrybomb
    I just did not connect with the characters in this movie, too much excessive drugs and alcohol 5/10
  • Contagion
    Contagion
    I have to be honest, while this has gotten huge reviews, I was a little underwhelmed. Sure, it makes you think how fragile the world is but sadly the opening scene is the most exciting part of the whole movie 6/10
  • Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    It’s a bit like watching Forest Gump in reverse, however this was painfully long 6/10
  • Dreamcatcher
    Dreamcatcher
    Alien parasites that try to take over the world. The story was just weird 4/10
  • Fast Five
    Fast Five
    Lots of action and all unbelievably un believable actions scenes, hope they don’t make a six 5/10
  • Friends with Benefits
    Friends with Benefits
    Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis are enough to carry this movie by itself. Pretty straight forward comedy with no surprises. Worth watching just to see Mila 7/10
  • Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2
    Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2
    A brilliant finish to the series, an action-packed finale with elements of darkness and beautifully integrated moments of humor and heroism 8/10
  • Happy Feet TWO
    Happy Feet TWO
    The visuals are spectacular, but the underlying story of the environment, parenting and friendship is very ordinary. Essentially, you have 100 minutes of  dancing penguins breaking out in to song, and 100 minutes was just too long, so I fell asleep. 3/10
  • Julie & Julia
    Julie & Julia
    365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen certainly passed some time on the plane 7/10
  • Leap Year
    Leap Year
    What a predictable shite movie 3/10  
  • Life As We Know It
    Life As We Know It
    A senseless chick flick that was very light entertainment 4/10
  • Machanic
    Machanic
    If you enjoy senseless and creative slaughter, the sound of gunfire, and lots of explosions, you’ll enjoy this movie 6/10
  • Mission Impossible 4 | Ghost Protocol
    Mission Impossible 4 | Ghost Protocol
    So exciting you have to remind yourself to breathe. That said it’s a movie where you just leave your brain at home, relax, and enjoy it 7/10
  • New Year’s Eve
    New Year’s Eve
    An American attempt at Love Actually that fails on every level and has more holes than a swiss cheese. The only funny moments are the outtakes at the end, seriously 3/10
  • No Strings Attached
    No Strings Attached
    Predictable and disapointingly ordinary, only made good by Natalie Portmans hot bed action 5/10
  • RED
    RED
    Silly is the operative word, but also very entertaining 6/10  
  • S.A.L.T
    S.A.L.T
    If you want some senseless action with a simple script this is for you. Plenty of good stunt action 6/10
  • Sex in the City 2
    Sex in the City 2
    Another two and a half hours of slightly less painful torture, marginally better than the first 4/10  
  • Somewhere
    Somewhere
    Long scenes that bored me senseless, a pointless movie 1/10  
  • Shortbus
    Shortbus
    Well, this was like watching soft porn, quite good in places, but the story was just too wacky for me 5/10
  • Source Code
    Source Code
    An entertaining and intelligent movie 7/10
  • Social Network
    Social Network
    Amazing story throughly engaging, loved it 8/10

    The American
    Very art house, sparse film by George Clooney that didn’t excite me 5/10
  • The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest
    The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest
    I think the 1st in the trilogy was the best, this movie was very slow 5/10  
  • The Kids Are All Right
    The Kids Are All Right
    An interesting story about a not so ordinary family, yawn 5/10
  • The Kings Speech
    The Kings Speech
    Finally a movie that was worth watching, stunning performances and cinematically brilliant 8/10
  • Transformers – Dark of the Moon
    Transformers – Dark of the Moon
    The story is lame, but who cares, this movie is full of action with amazing CGI and huge sound effects. This was the best of the three movies 7/10
  • Tron Legacy
    Tron Legacy
    Never saw the 1st movie but really liked this one 6/10
  • Twilight Saga – Breaking Dawn
    Twilight Saga – Breaking Dawn
    Seriously boring with little to no suspense, and I didn’t even get to see Kristen Stewarts bare arse. Only worth watching if you’re a Twi-hard 4/10
  • We Bought a Zoo
    We Bought a Zoo
    If you fancy a feel good story about decent people, and want to walk away from the movie better than you did when you walked in, this is the movie for you 6/10
