Ohh the week has been hectic and here I finally am to show what I have for it all. With the end of the year approaching I’m going to be spending a lot less time rewatching older films that I already love and throwing myself into the plethora of 2011 releases that I’ve avoided (whether it be accidental, on purpose or incidentally) t0 get a better understanding of what truly is and isn’t the best and the worst of 2011.
So here’s this week’s counter.
FIRST TIME VIEWS
Dead Man (1995) – I didn’t know what to expect, being my first Jarmusch film, but I can’t say I have anything particularly good to say about it.
The Ides of March (2011) – The dark side of polotics shine brighter than ever with a newbie to the world who’s so talented at it.
Another Earth (2011) – Pretty much melodrama wrapped around a science-fiction premise that ends up being disappointingly handled.
The Muppets (2011) – Am I allowed a guilt pleasure favourite of the year? Then this is it. It’s evverything I wanted while acknowledging a few faults and missteps along the way.
The Sitter (2011) – the worst possible outcome of a comedy I could imagine. Didn’t laugh once.
REWATCHED
The Usual Suspects (1995) – Give me the fucking keys, you fucking cocksucking motherfucker, aaarrrghh.
Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993) – I lost. I lost? Wait a second, I’m not supposed to lose. Let me see the script.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) – Sallah, I said *no* camels. That’s *five* camels. Can’t you count?
THE COUNT
242 First Time Watches (105 Films released in 2011)
