Right so, I am just back from seeing Mission Impossible 4. (It was bloody brilliant! Go Team Tom! Funny in places and fantastic action. Top notch snizzle!) and I think it’s most likely the last movie I’ll see in the cinema in 2011, so I think it’s time to compile the list of what I saw in 2011. I have been comparing it to the list I made earlier this year, the three parter that listed all I wanted to see. Lots I didn’t get to see. 
Kings Speech ***** Five Stars. Brilliant! Performances. Spot on. The story. Should have been boring but far from it. Loved this!
Thor ***** Five Stars. I fucking LOVED this!
Xmen: First Class ***** Five Stars. And this. I’ve mentioned before on here as to why so I won’t go into it again. But bring on The Avengers!!!!
Midnight in Paris ***** Five Stars. Strong contender for my favourite film of the year. In fact, I’m going to name it so. Fantastic!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: part two ***** Five Stars. Right, I know Potter isn’t the best movies out there, but this was so close to being brilliant. The sheer emotion of The Princes Tale. The end. *tear* This is five stars because I dressed up and did the midnight showing. It was deadly!
The Inbetweeners ***** Five Stars. Comical. It gets five stars for that dance sequence alone.
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol **** Four Stars. I love Tom. I always have. I don’t think others do action quite like him, and he does it so damn well!
Cowboys and Aliens **** Four Stars. This got SAVAGED. I don’t understand why? It was great and had everything. Cowboys. Check. Aliens. Check. Harrison Ford. Check. Action. Check. Humour. Check. Great performances…how in hell did noone like it?
Rise of the Planet of the Apes **** Four Stars. I’m beginning to see a pattern here. I am loving the action movies this year. But this one is different. It had lots of heart and the action only really kicked in near the end, but it was ace.
Puss in Boots **** Four Stars. Better than the last two Shrek’s! Can’t wait for it on DVD. “Ooooooooooo”
Tinker Tailor Sailor Spy **** Four Stars. No fuck it, it gets five stars. It had nothing, NOTHING but fantastic acting and it kept me spellbound.
The Help **** Four Stars. I was not ready for the emotional punch this one gives. I did actually cry.
Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows **** Four Stars. I am debating whether to give this five stars because I enjoyed it so much. It was by far better the first one. More action. More humour. And it didn’t have the bogged down, jam everything in feel the first one had.
Bridesmaids**** Four Stars. This made me laugh. I didn’t have the highest of hopes for it because it looked like one of those gross out comedies that I’m not overly fond of, but I found it wasn’t.
Bad Teacher **** Four Stars. Pleasantly surprised by how I enjoyed this.
Hall Pass *** Three Stars. I think I need to see this again to judge it. I laughed lots at it. I wonder if it holds up the second time?
Unstoppable *** Three Stars. This was the first movie of 2011 and it was a good choice. Very exciting and fun to watch.
Black Swan *** Three Stars. I know I am perhaps in the minority but I don’t get the “fantastic” of this movie. I found it too cliched. The only thing that saved it for me was the performances.
Horrible Bosses *** Three Stars. Very humorous. Would have liked to see it again.
Captain America *** Three Stars. As Marvel movies go, it’s not the best one. But good enough.
Transformers 4 *** Three Stars. It may get an extra one. It was exciting, action packed, better than the second one because the visuals were better, but it still dragged on a little.
The Guard – *** Three Stars. As it began I thought I’d hate it, but this little gem of an Irish movie was great.
Johnny English – *** Three Stars.
Jane Eyre *** Three Stars. I give it three because I need to see it again. If, by going on my viewing of it in the cinema, it would get two. I don’t want to give it two because, visually it was splendid, but the leads just left me cold. I didn’t get the love. And I certainly didn’t get Michael Fassbender as Rochester. Very sad indeed.
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 – *** Three Stars. Better than the last two films in the franchise, but still lacking that magical sparkle what was the first one.
Paul *** Three Stars. Humorous but in no way up there with the best Frost/Pegg can offer us.
Your Highness – *** Three stars. Hilarious! In a weird ass way.
I am number 4 – *** Three Stars. This was a fun watch. The book isn’t that fantastic, nor is the movie, but it did have its moments and you did care about the characters.
Unknown *** Three Stars. It had its stupid moments but I enjoyed it.
What’s my number *** Three Stars. It was good. Similar to, but much better than Friends with Benefits. Some real funny bits saved it.
Hangover 2 ** Two Stars. I was close to giving this a three, but thinking about it, really, two is good enough for it. It didn’t hold up to its predecessor, despite being an near exact replica.
Chalet Girl ** Two Stars. My girlie crush and my man crush. It was what I expected: mediocre. But still I enjoyable. And Felicity Jones is only going to get better.
Fast and Furious 5 ** Two Stars. So bad, it didn’t even have enough of the fast cars that could have saved it. Instead it had bad acting, cheesy lines and worse action.
Morning Glory ** Two Stars. Oh Rachel McAdams. You can do so much better! You really can. You too Harrison Ford. It was just a little too boring.
My week with Marilyn ** Two Stars. Again, very boring. Everyone is shouting that Williams is a shoe in for an Oscar for this performance. I don’t agree. She was good as Marilyn, I give you, but I’ve seen her give much better performances.
Arthur * One Star. Oh Russell Brand. What the fuck?
Crazy Stupid Love * One Star. Boring. Boring. And did I mention boring?
The Green Hornet * One Star. Poor, very poor. Even by Seth Rogen standards.
Friends with Benefits * One Star. I cannot say how much this bored the arse off me because I am currently trying to repress the memory. So dull! Contender for the worst of the year.
39. And I think two seen twice. Not bad. Up on last years 36.
