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 Read more of this post

El Orfanato – A Beautiful Horror

When my student (He has graduated but I still consider him as my student) told me about a movie called Orphanage, I was curious. He and I have the same taste in horror movies, let’s just say we both like horror movies with good story. Then I heard that it was going to be remade by Hollywood…and I hate remake!! So, I really have to find the movie before it is being remade (not that I ever going to see the remake…but I just want to see the real movie before the remake is out). My feeling toward remakes is same with this quote from director Bayona

“The Americans have all the money in the world but can’t do anything, while we can do whatever we want but don’t have the money” and “The American industry doesn’t take chances, that’s why they make remakes of movies that were already big hits”

And that’s why I don’t watch remakes!! I think Hollywood should start being creative again. I respect originality above everything.

Drive by the news of a remake, I searched for the movie every time I had chance to visit DVD store…Thank God  I finally found it last month and I FREAKIN LOVED IT!!! Really really love it!!!
