2011 Movies #55, 54, 53 & 52

Ref: Mulhern

And here we are, back for another round of assessing and second-guessing the films of 2011 as ranked by Mulhern. I've already fallen behind on my shadow blog, possibly due to the fact that I've been too engrossed in reading the work of the best new gourmet food writer in Minneapolis. (And how about that American flag jacket, folks?)

Diving right in...

#55: I Don't Know How She Does It

In keeping with last time around, I have not seen this film (believe it or not, I wasn't the impetus for B's viewing it). I did read the book a number of years ago. The people are British in that version but the bit about the pie is in there (only I can't remember if it was in fact a pie or some other dessert).

#54: Hall Pass

0-for-2. I do not approve on principle.

#53: 30 Minutes or Less

0-for-3! "You're two minutes late, dude."

#52: No Strings Attached

Finally, I'm in it to win it! I liked both this version of the timeless more-than-friends tale and its (deservedly) higher-ranked counterpart that benefited from a bit more fizz. But hey, I liked Valentine's Day, too, so there's no accounting for taste.

[Speaking of Valentine's Day, I did in fact watch New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve day (noon showing rather than midnight) after a couple of mimosas... So much for being unpredictable. Don't worry - we'll talk about this again later.]
