All I Post Is Movie Entries
A more formal break down of all the movies I saw in theatres this year, and a more or less precise ranking of the order in which I liked them. If this looks different than my previous list it's because I probably fudged a little to include movies that annoyed me more than worse movies I saw (The Tree of Life, Cave of Forgotten Dreams), and I included all the awful short films I saw this time. Man I saw a lot of really terrible shorts.
Great:
