Top 20 Movies of 2011

Again, just like what i mentioned last year, I'm no movie critic, I find these movies entertaining and worth watching.

Let's take a look back and toast to a colorful year in movies :)

1. Black Swan

Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis

"Black Swan" is that rare holiday Oscar contender that is a movie for all seasons, a film that is all things to all people

- rotten tomatoes

This made Mila Kunis number 1  on my girlcrush list

2. Temptation Island

Marian Rivera, Heart Evangelista, Lovie Poe, Solenn Heusaff. Rue Quinto

Trivia : the main characters were renamed into the vamps that personified Gosiengfiao's cinematic muses,  Virginia P. (1989 ). Cristina G (Diary of Cristina Gaston,1982), . Serafina was from "Nights of Serafina" (1996), "Nympha", (1980) and Pura K (Kikinang) (Secrets of Pura K., 1985). GMA made sure that they will stick to the original story. I've seen this twice. This film also made Heart Evangelista and Marian Rivera feud controversial. 

3.  Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Jonny Depp, Penelope Cruz

You know the old saying 'less is more?' I present to you exhibit A: 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.' -Rotten Tomatoes

4.  Crazy, Stupid, Love

Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone

Carell is his dependable wounded-puppy self, always likable, but Gosling and Stone are fantastic. This made belive that Ryan Gosling pleasures himself with his own reflection

4. Beastly

Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer

Hudgens is a likeable on-screen presence, Olsen a complete riot, and Pettyfer teases teeny bits of a performance as a genuinely unpleasant baddie that could be the making of him one day, should the right script come along.- Rotten Tomatoes

6. Love and Other Drugs

Jake Gyllenhaal, anne hatheway 

It isn't bashful at all, incorporating plenty of sex and humour; you'll feel like you're sleeping with them too.

7. 127 hours

James Franco

It's an incredible performance by Franco, walking the line between what once was enthusiasm but now is manic desperation.

8 Zombadings 1: Patayin sa shokot si Remington

Martin Escudero, Kerbie Zamora

this film was made to entertain and educate altough i believe this should be shown a long time ago.. kudos to the makers ofZombadings Patayin Sa Shokot Si Remington

9 Ang babae sa septic tank 

Eugene Domingo, JM deguzman

 Marlon Rivera’s “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank” (The Woman in the Septic Tank) is a high wire act of film making. It’s perceptive and hilarious in ways too far removed from the usual Pinoy comedy. It playfully runs rings around human folly where boundless ambition is held up to scorn and ridicule. In fact, this is one work that elevates local humor to greater heights. This likewise underscores the capability of the Filipino to weave a yarn dripping with wit and hilarity, I’d be proud to recommend this to anyone: friends, family, foe - even to Indonesian producer Delon Teo who believes that movies should bear no logic- Make me Blush

10 What’s Your Number?

Anna Farris, Chris Evans

Anna Farris is comedy's Marilyn Monroe.  Hunting down all your exes could be a fun thing... just can't help thinking why Chris Evans has to be naked 90% in this movie ?

11 Burlesque

Christina Aguilera, Cam Gigandet, Cher

Yes, Burlesque is bad, but it's the good kind of bad, with plenty of unintentional laughs and a powerfully dreadful lead performance by Cher. and Cam Gigandet is oozing with sex appeal

12 Water for Elephants

Robert Patinson, Reese Witherspoon

Makes a case as a worthy adaptation of a good novel but the jury is still out on whether Mr. Pattinson can be more than a brooding vampire. 

13 One Day

Anne Hatheway, Jim Sturgess

Few films "get" the strange, intertwining bonds of affection quite so effortlessly, although the episodic structure keeps the drama from flowing nicely.

14. Scream 4

Neve Campbell

Compared with so many of the rebooted slasher flicks, Scream 4 remains a cut above. No, that is not an intended pun. As Neve Campbell said. . You forgot the first rule of remakes; don't fuck with the original!

15 Friends with Benefits

Mila Kunis, Justin Timberlake

If it displayed more courage, this could have been a fascinating modern American movie. Instead it's a smart but still rather ordinary comedy that is entertaining but not ground-breaking

 16 Red Riding Hood

Amanda Seyfried, Shiloh Fernandez

Red Riding Hood is a film that tries so hard to be something it's not, because it isn't much of anything at all. It's hardly a romance because it isn't romantic. It isn't an action film because it's trying so hard (and failing) to be a romance. Essentially, it's trying to be Twilight (ewww) because it doesn't have an identity of its own. Kung di ko lang ♥ si Amanda Seyfried...

17 Anton Tubero

Lance Lopez

 this has got to be the most erotic indie film that i've seen. Lance Lopez is such an eye candy. My love for men and uniform was rekindled. 

18 The Road

Rhian Ramos, Alden Richards

Yam Laranas is a genius, the film is highly recommended to those who love scary movies. Plus Alden Richards proves why he deserves recognition as a serious actor and next hottie on the rise. 

19 Tangled

voice of Mandy Moore

There are no unnecessary pop references here, just fluid, graceful storytelling.

20  Brod

Arbie Bascara, Kenjie Garcia

There's a thin line between love and homophobia. -- makes me blush
