(Cinema 2011 -- A beautiful montage of movies in 2011)
I love making lists because I'm just that kind of neurotic, obsessive person who likes to categorize, organize, and catalog. Frankly, lists just wrap things up in a bow and make them look pretty, and hey -- I'm all for that. Always.
Now that's it's 2012, and seeing as the world may end this year (yeah, I'm also just that kind of paranoid, conspiracy theory believing person too), I thought it'd be best to reflect on my 2011.
Top Movies of 2011 (all in no particular order):
- Drive - This may be my favorite, although I may be just slightly biased as I will basically watch anything with Ryan Gosling in it, as made obvious by this list.
- Midnight in Paris
- The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
- Bridesmaids
- Moneyball
- 50/50
- X-Men: First Class
- Contagion
- The Ides of March
- Crazy, Stupid, Love
- Michael Fassbender in Shame
- Elizabeth Olsen in Martha Marcy May Marlene
- Rooney Mara in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
- Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill in Moneyball
- Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids
- Ryan Gosling in Drive
Top Television Shows of 2011 (a mix of returning and new):
- Homeland - Definitely my favorite of the year. A brilliant piece of work. This is definitely Claire Danes' best performance ever.
- Parks and Recreation
- Fringe
- Shameless
- New Girl
- Happy Endings
- Revenge
- The Walking Dead
- The Big C
- Breaking Bad
- Suits - A real dark horse. I realize there was a huge uproar following Patrick J. Adams' SAG nomination, but this show is truly great, as is he as the lead. Really surprised at this little USA dramedy. Really entertaining.
Top Television Performances of 2011:
- Claire Danes in Homeland
- John Noble in Fringe
- Amy Poehler in Parks and Recreation
- Glenn Close and Rose Byrne in Damages
- Jessica Lange and Evan Peters in American Horror Story
- Laura Linney in The Big C
- Madeleine Stowe (ultimate ice queen) and Emily VanCamp in Revenge
- Ty Burrell in Modern Family
- Adam Pally and Damon Wayans Jr. in Happy Endings
- Emmy Rossum and William H. Macy in Shameless
