I have to admit, I've been lacking in foreign language films recently, but I felt it was pretty good. T H E D A R K K N I G H T R I S E S W H E N G O T H A M I S A S H E S . . .

Different story they're investigating, diff country, all of it. Otherwise, I've seen the book put onto film, I don't need to see it again, with a different language as the main difference. I don't think that would have worked at all. I also heard that this one adhered more to the original story than the Swedish version did. I don't know, I thought this one was pretty good.

I barely remember the first movie, and still knew what was coming each scene, I'm not sure what they were hoping to achieve. MrO, count Ill in as well for the Oscars. But we need to get it hammered out what exactly we are doin in terms of organization. MrO, Nos, Johnny, CP, Ill, who else we got on board? Categories, amount per category...

You can still know what's going to happen in a movie and it still be suspenseful, I thought it was. DALLAS MAVERICKS . 2011 NBA Champions, Dirk and Kidd get theirs .

Basically just call out movies from the list as being garbage and if someone disagrees, it stays on the list. Whoever can jump in. And it'll be the one list for both best summer/horror/comedy movie and prestige type film. edit: next page Last Edited By: MrONegative 01/28/12 4:21 PM. Edited 4 times.

Registered Member Posts: 8143 01/27/12 11:31 PM	So I guess Super 8'll stay in I disagree on Scream 4 (solid for what it was) and Insidious, cuz it was a pretty weak year for horror and those had some great moments in them. Still gotta watch Certified Copy and Tin Tin, heard good things about both. And 30 Minutes or Less...if it wasn't for a couple jokes... It's like Drillbit Taylor level. I'll update em all.

Registered Member Posts: 7197 01/27/12 11:44 PM	I was reeaaallll borderline on Scream 4. Never saw it, so I couldnt say for sure. Crossed it off just cause. Insidious, I couldnt take serious and ended up laughing more than not. Super 8 for sci-fi. With it there's like 5 movies that could be considered on my list, so why not round it out. 30 Min. or Less was funny to me. Doesnt mean it's the best comedy of the year (it's not), but it deserves mention since there was a real lack this past year (9 on my list). \|OREGON DUCKS\| ROSE TO POWER

Registered Member Posts: 24016 01/27/12 11:56 PM	Wait, why are you just crossing off all the horror movies? I don't think they deserve to be film of the year, but still, there were some good horror films this year. Wow, I really didn't see too many new ones this year... CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER COWBOYS & ALIENS 50/50 FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS FRIGHT NIGHT THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO HALL PASS THE HANGOVER PART II HUGO INSIDIOUS J. EDGAR LIMITLESS PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3 RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES STRAW DOGS SUCKER PUNCH SUPER 8 THOR X-MEN: FIRST CLASS I don't really have much of a list to go off of for best film, but I know I saw enough to pick a Top 5 Horror Paranormal 3 Straw Dogs (More psychological thriller, but I'm putting it there, there are scenes of horror). Insidious Fright Night Okay, no I can't. DALLAS MAVERICKS . 2011 NBA Champions, Dirk and Kidd get theirs .

Registered Member Posts: 8144 01/28/12 12:05 AM	^attack the block, for sure. There are gonna be 2 Best Pictures, one prestige, one...laidback? lol for horror, comedy, blockbuster, action movies. I get that with Insidious, movie caught me off-guard and I was ready to crown it best PG13 horror since The Ring until things went full retard. And on the other end, I was hyped for 30 min, to get letdown hard. I see you on it, but then I'll say Bad Teacher was funnier and vouch for it. The dryhumping scene>>> a couple more I'd keep Limitless was a solid movie, things got off track with the Russian stuff, but it was so well made, a rare good DeNiro showed up too. Sucker Punch...I know...but the extended edition is the real movie and it's solid good genre filmmaking. The one that came out in theaters was a studio destroyed hackjob. Then Winnie the Pooh. I think I've seen it 7 times cuz of my niece and I'm convinced it's the best animated movie of the year. Perfect for what it is. Last Edited By: MrONegative 01/28/12 12:10 AM. Edited 1 time.

It was the best horror film since The Exorcist for the first 30, 45 minutes. God DAMN was that haunting. Sucker Punch...I know...but the extended edition is the real movie and it's solid good genre filmmaking. The one that came out in theaters was a studio destroyed hackjob. I really wanted to track it down and use the Best Buy Trade&Save discount on it (along with The Incredible Hulk), but each time I went they were sold out, and they restocked when I couldn't go. Sucker Punch just didn't make sense. Zach Snyder is a much better director than what I saw on the big screen. He's no Scorsese, but I think he can be a really good genre filmmaker. PA3 was very good. Probably best horror film of the year. Straw Dogs I really enjoyed, and it's a movie I would enjoy and that I knew I would enjoy. I wish more people would check it out. Alexander Skarsgard is awesome. It's not for everyone though, the gore can be a bit much. The script isn't anything amazing, but all the performances were fine, it's no Devil/The Happening. It was as good as any of the soso summer blockbusters on there (like Cowboys & Aliens). DALLAS MAVERICKS . 2011 NBA Champions, Dirk and Kidd get theirs .

Gave Heroes, V, FlashForward and The Event all shots Gonna wait this time. No, that's the movie I saw this past year.. I skip on a lot of movies just because I much rather see things in theater. My favorites of the year: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Hugo, J. Edgar, Paranormal 3, Rise of the Apes, and 50/50. Hugo was easily the best film for me though. I loved that damn film. I want a 3D TV someday just to watch that movie. I put Paranormal 3 because I'm a huge genre guy, most nights I'm watching a horror movie.

Probably is best to wait and see with these types of shows.
