Best Movie you've seen this year

Got me thinking if I truly had seen a very good movie this year. I saw 3 1. The Help, this is excellent because it's based on a very good book and they stuck to it. Excellent screen play. There are some funny moments but I don't consider this a comedy. 2. Bridesmaids, Sometimes we really forget to laugh and this movie is non stop women's humor. 3. Water for Elephants, we all need romance this is one, a bittersweet movie. I liked it a lot and I know everyone kind of makes fun of Robert Pattinson and the vamp stuff. But there is a very good actor hiding under those fangs. I saw him in another movie, Remember me which was very good. ------ quiltingwolf.blogspot.com

The first three were all excellent; the last one, interesting (and great performances all around), but a distant fourth. The Artist I could even see again.

Canadian Jane Advanced Beginner AB CANADA Member since 10/30/10 Posts: 1159	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/17/12 3:17 PM Without question - "The Help". I don't think this qualifies for this years' trophies (Oscar, Golden Globe - whatever) but another movie I saw that was out of this world was "The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo". The rest that I saw were mediocre at best. Have not seen "The Bridesmaids" but I have heard it is really good too - more than just a chick flick. I like chick flicks in most cases but I don't get to see many 'cause DH doesn't like them. It is -30C here today (-40 or so with the windchill). It is expected to be this cold for a good week. So I think we will watch the "The Bridesmaids" on PPV this weekend - assuming the remote hasn't frozen.

It's more like a sick chick flick. My 30 year old son suggested it to me. ------ My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

It didn't add much to the experience. The story is charming, and suitable for the whole family. Probably not up for any awards, but surprisingly good - Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I think one review called it intelligent summer entertainment, and that sums it up. Andy Serkis as the motion captured chimp Caesar was actually better than James Franco. ------ Suo ergo maledicto Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs
