Film and Theatre Lover!
Yesterday was the first day that I posted on this blog (read here) and I felt as though I had to do something else more film related for the occasion of somehow keeping it all going for 15 years, so I thought I would pick my favourite film from each year, which possibly won’t link up with other posts of best films for each year.
Get involved yourself in the comments and pick your favourite and/or best films from the past 15 years!
During the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s aspiring writer Skeeter Phelan decides to write a book on the experiences of black women working as maids in Mississippi. In the process of doing this she risks losing all of her friends and family.
The MTV Movie Awards are voted for by the public, but definitely a young group of people. It always seems to be battle of the fandoms on who will pick up the different awards. This year seemed to be know different as Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and The Twilight Saga all went head to head. I think some of the categories show quite a wide range of actors and performance types but at the end of the day it’s more of a popularity contest than anything else.
Breakthrough Performance
Elle Fanning – Super 8
Melissa McCarthy – Bridesmaids
Liam Hemsworth – The Hunger Games
Rooney Mara – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Shailene Woodley – The Descendants – WINNER
I feel like I have missed quite a lot of the films which are on other blogger’s top 10 lists. Therefore I decided to make a list of the films I missed in 2011 which I really wanted to see. The main reason behind missing these films will be because of a limited release at the cinema, and mine usually gets missed out of these. Or that the film is only on for one week, and as soon as it is on it’s gone.
Looking at this list I feel as though I have missed some of the best films of 2011!
