Re: QOTD Tuesday

    I have to agree with these. I think they were also the only movies I saw in the theater (unless Hot Tub Time Machine came out this year?).

  • I didn't get to the theater too often this year, but I really enjoyed Bridesmaids. It was hysterical. I also thought Horrible Bosses was really funny.
  • The only movie I saw in the theater this year was The Change-Up, which I enjoyed (although I was a little embarrassed to be watching it with my grandmother).

  • Only movie I saw in the theatre was Kings Speech (was that this year?) and I really liked it. 
    Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.
  • Harry Potter was my favorite, but I also like Puss in Boots (surprisingly) although I just may have been in a good mood that day... I haven't been that impressed with the movies this year  
  • I might have to hang my head when I respond but... Harold and Kumar Christmas Special.  I found this SO funny. 
  • I enjoyed Harry Potter and The Muppets.  Hoping to see TinTin this weekend.  2011 has mostly been a crap year for movies though.

  • Harry Potter!

    Probably going to see TinTin as well.  My husband read the books (in french) growing up & has high expectations.  I hope they don't let him down!!

  • I LOVED Bridesmaids - one of the funniest movies I've ever seen - and the last HP.
  • Crazy Stupid Love.  It was not at all what I expected from the previews but I loved it.

  • we saw very few movies in the theatre but I did really like Harry Potter. oh, and The Lincoln Lawyer.

  • I really liked The Adjustment Bureau.
  • I will also have to go with HP!  It was an awesome movie!
  • We've been to the movies a handful of times this year. The one that stands out is, of course, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. But, I also really enjoyed Everything Must Go with Will Ferrell.

    I have high hopes for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo  and War Horse

  • I'm going to have to go with Bridesmaids. It is one of the few that I saw in the theater and the only one I want to see again. SSSOOOOO funny!

  • It's a tie between the last Harry Potter and Breaking Dawn. Yes, my inner age is like 16.
  • Another vote for Crazy, Stupid, Love. I was so delightfully surprised by this movie.
  • I only saw Harry Potter and The Help in the theater this year and liked Harry Potter better.  I loved the book of The Help, the movie was only good, not great. 
  • The Muppets! (shocker, I know)

    :)

    From my Entertainment Board review: As my Nestie name might suggest, I'm a huge fan, and the heart and spirit of this movie reminded me of the Muppets I grew up with (especially The Muppet Movie).

    There were so many reminders of The Muppet Show (and by association Jim Henson) - every time I heard a line or a song, my heart swelled and I misted up a bit. My sister made fun of me for bringing tissues but sure enough she needed them twice as well.

    Like Walter (the new character), I would sometimes get made fun of for loving what seem to be childish things like The Muppets ... but I think there's a humanity to them - love, warmth, humor, hope, and belief that we can make dreams come true - that recognizes those of us with the same values and fans the flame. I love that the movie can touch so many die-hard fans in such deep ways while also being funny and silly and catchy and entertaining to the masses and, more importantly, to a new generation.

  • Another vote for Harry Potter.

  • I really liked Moneyball with Brad Pitt. He still looks good and it was funny, sweet and pretty good for a sports movie.

  • I'm reading this and realizing almost all my movie watching happens on a plane!

    1. Kings Speech (saw in 2011)

    2. Bridesmaids!!!!!!

    3. Moneyball

    Probably missing a to-die-for fav but that's what I'm remembering off the top of my head.

  • The last Harry Potter came last week (netflix) and I can't wait to see it, I'm sure I'll love it.

    We didn't see anything in theaters. We watched Bridesmaids on netflix and we both underwhelmed, yea it had its moments but it was definitely way way way over-hyped and not really that funny, IMO.

    Horrible Bosses was good, I liked Adjustment Bureau.

    I usually like all movies but when something is really hyped up, I find it does not live up to its expectations.
