Shrelock Holmes:Game of Shadows. It was good. I haven’t seen the 1st one yet so some parts confused me. Their were also some funny parts and intense scenes. It took me like 15 minutes to get into it. Also like the ending. B-
I wish I could make a top 10 list for 2011 movies, but I unfortunately haven’t seen enough.
Here are some I’ve seen and thought were decent, although I admit I really only thoroughly enjoyed maybe the first 4: Hugo, Super 8, Rango, Kung Fu Panda 2, X-Men: First Class, Arthur Christmas, Source Code, Rio, and Captain America
Movies I thought were okay or ehhhh: Gnomeo & Juliet, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Scream 4, Thor, Cars 2, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
Movies I plan on seeing (notice how big the list it 
): The Artist, 50/50, The Descendants, Bridesmaids, Midnight in Paris, Winnie the Pooh, The Help, Drive, The Skin I Live In, The Interrupters, Terri, Puss in Boots (for good measure), War Horse, Shame, Melancholia, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Young Adult. I also need to look up what’s been released overseas, like in South Korea and Japan.
I did watch most of the ones you did (except Gnomeo & Juliet and Diary of a Wimpy Kid and of course Hugo, which hasn’t been released here yet 
)
I haven’t seen some of the ones you haven’t either, also because they weren’t released, but I’ve seen some. I would strongly recommend you The Help, Drive and Melancholia, and also Winnie the Pooh, if you’re into that.
If you’re interested in films from outside the USA, easily the best this year was A Separation, from Iran. A very well made picture.
I heard a lot of good things about A Separation. I do plan on seeing all the movies you mentioned, but I’m not sure when. My dad and I may see The Artist this weekend, and then I plan on renting Midnight in Paris, Bridesmaids, and 50/50 from Netflix.
Chances are they’ll never release The Artist here until the Oscars have passed

I was really stoaked for War Horse, but then my friends said they didn’t like it, and we have similar movie tastes. So I’m going to wait for it to come out on DVD. The only reason I want to see it any way is because it’s about World War I.
I too want to see My Week with Marilyn.
The only reason I want to watch it is because of Spielberg and the superb cinematography, but it also has gotten good reviews, so I wouldn’t necessarily trust the friends on that one.
Yeah, I said I do plan on seeing it. I’m short on money so I don’t want to go out to the theatres to see it if a friend who 90% of the time has similar tastes in movies as I said they were disapoineted.
Well, January is one of the worst months for movies since their just leftovers from the holidays.
The Descendants was rather good.
Nanook of the North: This 1922 film is the first documentery. It is a very interesting time capsul to Inuit life.
A warning to those before they see the movie. This movie is ‘a story of love and life in the Artic’. But some artistic liscense was taken with it. Nanook wasn’t the main character’s real name (this was changed for practical reasons), Nanook’s ‘wife’ wasn’t his wife in real life, and the Inuits were made to hung with spears instead of their usual guns. Also the title cards say that Nanook later died of starvation, when it was really because of tuberculouses.
The changes must be taken with a grain of salt. This is the first documentery, nothing of its sort was done before. Despite these changes, the scenes of the movie such as building igloos, hunting, and preparing dog sleds are all authentic.
This film is a priceless look to the ways of the Inuits of Hudson Bay of 100 years ago.
Animanics - Wakkos Wish. I never put my review up when I watched it a couple mounths ago.
So the film takes place in Acme Falls. All the charcters are poor because King Salazar has taker over for the good King. Dot needs an operation by her brothers can aford for it. Wakko do’s to work for a long time and later come back with one ha’penny. However, it get’s taken away and their poor again. Wakko wish’s their’s a way he could help his sister. His wish come strue when the Wishing Star tells him whoever get’s to the star first, gets the wish. So everyone is one a race to get to it.
I think it’s really good. I don’t like it as much as the series epsiodes but it’s a nice ending to the series. I like how they had all the main chacacters pretty much and it gives infromation about the Warners parent’s. It’s good, I libe it a B-.
We watched this “documentary” (whatever it is?) in a film class. What I mostly remember are scenes of people spearing whales and eating raw, bloody blubber. I think I had to cover my eyes, which is something I rarely do unless an animal’s being tortured or abused.
Yep, it is the first full length documentary (despite some artistic liscensetthat was taken). Yeah, those scenes didn’t bother me too much, because the version I saw, the film was a bit grainy. And it was in black and white. That, and I’ve seen a pig slaughtered in person, so those scenes didn’t bother me so.
Yeah, while I’ve seen a lot of documentaries, I haven’t studied them too much and the way Nanook of the North was presented to me is that quite a bit of artistic license was used, but I don’t really care either way. A lot of other movies I’d probably call documentaries are also staged, but I still like them. 
I forgot to mention that I saw The Descendants today and thoroughly enjoyed it, despite a lot of bad reviews from some people (message boards). I’ve noticed that I tend to like Alexander Payne’s films a lot more than others do (although critics tend to praise them), for whatever reason, and my favorite of his is Election. The Descendants is high on my list for movies this year. I’ve noticed that George Clooney’s acting style is perhaps questionable, as the characters he portrays are often extremely similar, but I didn’t have a problem with him in this movie. Despite dealing with loss, his character tries to remain strong for the sake of family, and only lets heartbreak show in a subtle manner… So, in other words, the character may have been quite different if another actor portrayed Matt King and he was constantly experiencing bawling sessions and quivering lips. I also surprisingly liked Shailene Woodley in certain scenes. The movie was especially sad considering the woman sitting next to me, my dad’s girlfriend for the last ~2 years, lost her husband to cancer and he was apparently in a coma before passing away and had to have “the plug pulled,” similar to King’s wife.
What’s the oldest movie everyone has seen?
Well, that’s difficult for me to answer, because a lot of old films could count from the late 1800s, but I assume you’re talking about full-length movies (for me that means at least an hour) with a story and such. If that’s the case… I still don’t know! But I assure you it’s something old, silent, and B&W.
