Best 5 Movies I watched in 2011

Click this button to see my other top-5 list

Last year I made top-5 movie of 2010 that I watched in cinema, but I can’t do that anymore this year because of the misfortune event of Indonesian cinema. I am glad I can’t do that anymore because it’s time to have a better version of top-5 movies, it is no longer movies that were released in 2011 but ALL movies I watched in 2011 regardless which year it was first released. I copied this idea from Anomalous Material (unfortunately I couldn’t find the post anymore.)

I watched a lot of movies in 2011, including some re-watched movies, here are the ones I remember: 

• Watashi Wa Kai Ni Naritai – 私は貝になりたい
• 28 Weeks later
• Kaze o Mita Shounen – 風を見た少年
• Buried
• Black Swan
• The Golden Compass
• The Invasion
• The Storm Riders
• Scott Pilgrim vs The World
• Beowulf
• The King’s Speech
• Okuribito – おくりびと
• The Incredible Hulk

Black Swan – A Truly Captivating Movie

Finally … an amazing movie in April!

My April movies have been a boring one till I have time to see Black Swan. From the beginning of April I have seen 5 movies in DVD (hoping to start watching movies in Cinema again anytime soon), excluding Black Swan, and the only one that interests me was Waterboys which happen to be a movie I have watched for the 3^rd time. The other 4 are not interesting. They were not bad movies, they were just NOT MY KIND OF MOVIES.

I want to share a little thought on my previous viewings. I watched The Town, good story but nothing special and I now have already forgotten the details of the movie.  The Interceptor, a Russian movie based on book, the movie has so many holes that needed to be filled. X Game, a suspense movie from Japan, it was said to be Ring Movie Successor…yeah right!! It was pointless and made me bored. Restrepo, a war movie made in documentary style, I fell asleep even before the movie reached half through. I am not too fond of this style of movie, the only movie in documentary style that I truly enjoy was Blairwitch Project. I thought no movie can make me excited this month…I am glad I was wrong!
