Since Oscars season is my favorite of the five seasons, I am super excited for this year's awards. My pick for movie of the year is The Help. I was very skeptical, and, being a guy, it doesn't seem like the kind of movie I enjoyed. But boy, I was blown away! What an emotional, uplifting story with tons of humor and heart. It displays a controversial issue with such class and sophistication, and, although there is a clear bias as irate reviewers have shown, it's easy to look past that as you experience the maids and their issues. The acting is stellar. Emma Stone, Viola Davis, and Octavia Spencer steal the show, and I hope they sweep at the Oscars.
Another one of my favorite films this year was 50/50. Another story about an issue that shouldn't be funny, 50/50 tells the tale of a man who is diagnosed with cancer, and how he and his friends try to beat the odds. It's funny without being disrespectful, and there are a lot of laugh-out-loud moments that I really enjoyed. The acting's nothing special, but when it tells a story this good, it doesn't matter.
Also on my list is Midnight in Paris. Not a big Woody Allen fan, not going to lie, but Midnight in Paris was so good. The plot is hilarious, and the writing is solid and witty. Owen Wilson, is well, Owen Wilson, but other than that the movie is really enjoyable. Rounding out my list for best movies is Bridesmaids, Harry Potter 7 Part 2, Super 8, Mission Impossible, Horrible Bosses, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. 2011 was a great year for movies, clearly.
