Interlude: Year in Movies

by WIComics on December 29, 2011 at 12:01 am

Is it just us, or does it feel like 2011 never really took off, movie-wise? Of course there’s more winners than those we’ve depicted (read our thoughts further down!), but not many more.

Up top is Anna’s rendition of her favourite movies of the year, as well as the movies she didn’t fancy that much, after what we can imagine a fierce battle royale.

These are the ones you can spot (left to right, bold for winners, not so bold for… yeah):

  • Green Lantern
  • Red Riding Hood
  • The Adventures of Tintin
  • Thor
  • Bridesmaids
  • Sucker Punch
  • X-Men: First Class
  • Arietty the Loaner
  • Gnomeo & Juliet
  • Melancholia
  • Rango
  • Happy Feet
  • Drive
  • The Smurfs
  • Captain America: The First Avenger
  • Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Me gusta of 2011

So here’s a short, unordered list, in whereas the only grade I give it is the order I came to think of it.

  • Tree of Life
  • Hugo
  • Time Traveller’s Wife
  • Attack the Block
  • The Descendants
  • Another Earth
  • 50/50
  • 13 Assassins
  • Tucker and Dale vs. Evil
  • Ides of March
  • Contagion
  • Win Win
  • Submarine
  • Limitless
  • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
  • Warrior
  • Midnight in Paris
 I rather enjoyed seeing Thor in 3D, even though my eyes have issues with the tech, so it gets a honorable mention. Just don’t tell Anna.
For those of you interested, this is what I need to see of 2011 before I forget it ever existed:
  • Everyday Sunshine: The story of Fishbone
  • We were here
  • The Guard
  • The Muppets (seriously)
  • Weekend
  • Incendies
  • A Better Life
  • Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
  • Another Year
  • Fright Night
And with that, curtains 2011, and hopefully we’ll see your lovely self on the other side which they call 2012. For us, personally, this has been one of the best years ever, and we aim to make next year even better!

Why the hell didn’t I put Steve Coogan in there?

It’s been a decent year, but not a good one. When it comes to movies that is! Maybe it’s just difficult to top 2010, that year we got “Winter’s Bone“, “How to train your Dragon“,  ”King’s speech“, “The kids are alright“, “True Grit“, “Blue Valentine“, “The Illusionist“,  and the list just goes on and on!

Some gems crossed our paths however, seven of them mentioned in the comic. I have also very much enjoyed movies like “Another year“, “Midnight in Paris“, “The Trip” and ”Apflickorna“, just to mention a few. Also, the year’s not quite over yet, and I’ll still try to catch “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy“, “My week with Marilyn” and “Jane Eyre“.

For me there’s still time, although for WIC this will be 2011′s last comic. Our first year has come to an end and in 2012 we’ll strive to be better, funnier and ruder than before, and  I hope you’ll be there to see it.
