10/10

Immortals (Henry Cavill is just that attractive. I can give a movie with that face and that body nothing less.)

The Lion King 3D

*** We Need To Talk About Kevin - Best movie of the year. The fact that this is being ignored by so many awards shows for best picture, best director and best supporting actor for grown up Kevin is a travesty and a prime example of why awards shows are a joke and no one takes them seriously anymore.

9/10

Insidious

*** The Descendants - Deserves all the awards buzz but it was Nick Krause who stole the show for me. I was dying laughing.

*** The Muppets - I laughed, I cried, the second time around I sang along. And having a Me Party has become something I say all the time.

8/10

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows 2

Paranormal Activity 3 (at first I gave this 6/10 but I think I was just judging it against Paranormal Activity and Paranormal Activity 2 which are 9/10 and 10/10 movies for me. On second viewing it really is good but I still feel like the less we knew, the scarier it was)

Happy Feet Two (I don't care what anyone says, this was the cutest thing i've seen all year. The baby penguins and baby seals brought me back to the Lisa Frank things I used to own)

Fast Five

Horrible Bosses

*** Mission Impossible 4 - Originally I would have given this a 7/10 just because the critic reviews had over hyped this and I was left underwhelmed. But on second viewing I enjoyed it more. The most exciting scenes where the sand storm to me. The green dress that Paula wore and the Prada handbag the assassin had were also great.

7/10

The Rite

Rango

Scream 4

The Hangover Part 2

The Help

Contagion

The Three Musketeers

6/10

Beastly

Bridesmaids (Most overrated movie of the year for me. I saw it the same day I saw Horrible Bosses and the latter was so much funnier.)

Colombiana

Cowboys And Aliens

*** A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas - I'd never seen any of these so I watched the first 2 and then this one which was the weakest of the three by far.

*** Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 - Better than critics would lead you to believe. I thought once they got to the island the movie was cute and funny.

5/10

The Roommate

Sucker Punch

Tyler Parry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family

Jumping The Broom

Pirates Of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Captain America: The First Avenger

4/10

Something Borrowed

Transformers: Dark Side Of The Moon

Zookeeper

The Change Up

Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark

Our Idiot Brother

*** Fright Night

*** Rio - Underwhelming

3/10

The Dilemma

I Am Number Four

Bad Teacher

2/10

Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son

*** Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes - I really don't get the hype here at all. A matter of fact i've seen all the Planet Of The Apes movies and this is my least favorite (for full disclosure, Beneath The Planet Of The Apes is my favorite so maybe the issue is my own taste level).

*** Jack And Jill

.

1/10

Shark Night 3D

0/10 (or I should have gotten my money back!!!)

Green Lantern

Dream House - The actually movie experience was 10/10. When the most obvious twist ever was revealed and the guy told him how he picked his name everyone burst out laughing. From then until the end of the movie someone would yell they wanted their money back, and not the same person every time, every time something ridiculous happened (so every 5 minutes or so). People walked out and i'm pretty sure people went to ask for a refund. I have never had an experience like this in a movie theater. It was so much more entertaining than the movie.

Sub Zero

Final Destination 5 ( I honestly can remember nothing about this movie except a bridge collapsing and the plane in the end. My brain has expunged everything. Must have been bad for that to happen.)

*** = additions.
