Top Ten of 2011
1. Drive
- A gruesome fairytale of badassery, extremely well-shot and acted. My easy favorite. What else can I say.
2. Martha Marcy May Marlene
- I thank God that I can’t relate to this film, and I pray that I never will. Some of the best editing I’ve seen though, and left me with more questions than answers.
3. Tree of life
- The first thing I wanted to do after seeing this film is see it again. Beautifully filmed and intricately told, it’s a web of stories I’ll come back to for years.
4. The Artist
- The only reason I wished there was sound was to cover up the sound of my weeping. But seriously.
5. Melancholia
- Not for the faint of heart, this apocalyptic drama leaves you with very important questions, like “Why am I still alive?” and “Where are my anti-depressants?”
6. Attack The Block
- Take a large helping of “Cowboys vs. Aliens”, first removing the hot chick, add a dash of a british Tyler Perry/Spike Lee hybrid, blend it into a delicious plot and serve.
7. Like Crazy
- I can’t tell you how badly I wanted this to be at the very top of my list. I don’t know if I just hyped it up too much in my mind, but I found myself loving the story and hating its characters. I guess that’s real life…(plug for independent mumblecore shaker dramas).
8. Tintin
- I’ll bet you twenty bucks this isn’t in anyone else’s top ten, but as a huge fan of the Herge comics, as well as motion capture animation, this film was a milestone for both.
9. Tyrannosaur
- Never mind the fact that I can’t keep up with the accents - it’s a heartbreaking story that looks better than it sounds.
10. Another Earth
- A beautifully epic story told in an uncomfortably small setting. Rod Serling would be oh so proud.
