2011 Best, Worst and Category's

The only resolution I had last year was to watch more movies. I did exactly that. 71 Movies, 62 Original titles, and 13 rentals/purchases. For a total of 81 (LOTR was obviously not 2011, -3) 2011 movies released. Not too shabby, if do say so myself. There are probably 20 more I didn't get to see. A lot of them are limited release films that have yet to hit video.

Overall, 2011 was a pretty good movie year. A lot of good movies, not too many great ones. That's what made this year's list so hard to compile. It was hard to narrow it to the 10 best. I needed 20 this year. 10 is just too much pressure. Of course, I will also do the 5 worst. The list of all my 2011 movies are listed on the right side of this page.
Here they are:

So that sums up my movie year. I will leave you with a short and descriptions of my most anticipated movies of 2012. They are in no specific order. I am most excited for the new Batman and The Avengers. Let's hope for another good year, if not better.

2012 Most Anticipated:

The Dark Knight Rises - The final installment in Christopher Nolan's Batman series.

The Avengers - The first of its kind, super movie. In Whedon we trust.

The Grey - Liam Neeson punching wolves....best description available.

Chronicle - Relatively unknown....Kids have super powers and are learning how to use them.

Hunger Games - I've heard the books are great. Hopefully I will read them before the movie.

Brave - A new Pixar Movie. Nuff said.

Prometheus - The prequel to Alien, that looks very interesting.

The Cabin In The Woods - Joss Whedon's secretly written horror.

The Amazing Spiderman - Another Reboot. Sigh..but, I like this version of Spidey the best. 

Skyfall - I like Daniel Craig as Bond. Why not another?

Django Unchained - Quentin Tarantino's western. Amazing cast. Looking forward to this one.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Jackson will amaze us again.
