[jvince]

1. He Loves Me | A cute, witty, and surprisingly dark examination of the nature of relationships; A modern romantic classic. | MVP: Zoe Kazan
2. The Secret World of Arrietty | Simple yet magical; Quality wholesome fun for all ages. | MVP: Hiromasa Yonebayashi


3. Clown: The Movie | Extremely irreverent and raunchy; A top-notch road trip buddy comedy that will leave you in stitches and awe. | MVP: Frank Hvam
4. The Grey | Two-thirds mainstream, one-third art-house tale of survival. | MVP: Liam Neeson


5. Haywire | Typical action plot presented in a not-so-typical manner. | MVP: Steven Soderbergh
6. The Innkeepers | A nice, little haunted house tale that's slightly higher on comedy than scares. | MVP: Sara Paxton


7. The Hunter | Competent eco-drama featuring breathtaking locales. | MVP: Robert Humphreys
8. Chronicle | The three leads are great, but found-footage has more than worn out its welcome. | MVP: Dane DeHaan


9. The Woman in Black | An inferior (but passable) remake loaded with jump scares and baffling revisions.
10. Silent House | Excellently eerie first half goes downhill thanks to laughably lazy writing and a tired twist. | MVP: Elizabeth Olsen
11. Snowtown | Disturbing but meandering account of Australia's most infamous murders. | MVP: Lucas Pittaway
12. The Vow | Harmless, average date movie. | MVP: Rachel McAdams


13. Headhunters | Mindless violence. | MVP: Aksel Hennie
14. Underworld: Awakening | An amalgamation of everything wrong with Hollywood.

* Titles in red are movies most recently watched.

The secret world of Arietty 8/10

[Abdrewes]

1) The Grey
2) Haywire
3) Chronicle

I wonder whether to include films that premiered in festivals or in other places around the world last year. I loved Arrietty, saw Rampart earlier this week, got to see A Separation (just began to play) but I consider those 2011 films. I think Arrietty was first released in 2010.

Most Valuable Player.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

Well, seeing how i've only seen one movie this year so far in theaters, it would have to be 21 jump street. Really funny movie.

[tigertron]

Every movie I've seen so far this year I won't be buying on Blu, with the exception of TPM as I already have it. I enjoyed watching most of them, but not to the extent where I want to watch them again.

1. Safehouse 3/5
2. This Means War 3/5
3. John Carter 3/5
4. The Grey 2/5
5. Star Wars Episode I 3D 4/5
6. Chronicle 3/5

[P@t_Mtl]

1. John Carter

That is all!
