5 movies I loved in 2011





















Despicable Me
Type: Animation

Undoubtedly, my favorite animated movie now, from the little girl (Agnes) yelling “Fluffy!!!” to the un-understandable language of the Minions, this movie is awesome from the beginning till the end. Despite its evil theme about a person intending to be the greatest villain of all times it is lovable and heartwarming. With dialogues like “Dart Gun, I said Dart Gun, not….” It is difficult not to laugh.











































Payback
Type: Action

How far would you go for $70,000? You would go far, I would go far but we won’t go halfway as Porter. Porter, that’s the character played by Mel Gibson in this incredibly stylish movie with the simplest plot ever, so simple that I can put it in one line “Give me my money.” He shoots people, blows up cars, apartments anything that stands in his way. A movie with no good guys at all, absolutely none including Porter. Watch it and you might find new level of respect for Mel Gibson.












































Cape Fear
Type: Revenge

You would want to stay away from this movie, if you don’t like blood and violence but if you decide to stay away you’ll be missing one of the best performances by Robert De Niro. The story of a convict who comes back after 14 years in prison to get to the lawyer who defended him, a convict who went in an illiterate and came out better read than his lawyer, Quoting Silesius, 17th Century "I am like God, and God like me. I am as large as God, He is as small as I. He cannot above me, nor I beneath Him be."
Although my favorite revenge film still remains to be KILL BILL, this one sure is in the Top 5






















X-Men: First Class
Type: Superhero

Now 2011 saw, superhero movies Thor, Green Lantern, X-Men: First Class and Captain America, for those who have not seen (and remember) the previous movies of the X-Men series, X-Men: First Class would not be a great movie, but for those who have, no point of reading this review coz they would’ve seen this movie already! If not, go buy the DVD, Oh! Who am I kidding?? Download it now! It’s great to see how the Cerebero was made, how Magneto got his helmet and Professor Charles Xavier ended up on a wheel chair and for the people looking for a superhero movie except X-Men, watch Captain America.

























































Real Steel
Type: Robot Boxing

Ambush, Naughty Boy, Twin Cities, Zeus and Adam these are the names of the Robot Boxers in the ring who will bring you ecstasy. The films quickly enters into the story and never loses grip, this Robot version of Rocky is simply amazing, will leave you feeling energetic and great. From the posters you might think it’s like Transformers (that’s what I thought) and went for the movie coz I had nothing better to do that night and like they say good things happen to you when you least expect them. Hugh Jackman truly knows how to entertain.
