2011 had it’s fair share of awful films. To help you weed through the muck of Hollywood trash, we’ve sifted through our archives to see which films stood out the most in Movieology’s review. Here are the best of the best films that we evaluated during 2011. While we may not have seen every film, we did our best to catch all the potential “greats.” Are your favorites on our list?
‘We Bought a Zoo’ by Cameron Crowe fell under the hype of the popular holiday films that are still in theaters, but it is no less an exemplary, thoughtful, heart-warming family story that audiences can watch together and learn something while also being entertained with a true story that’s worth retelling. Clearly the best “animal” movie of the year, we take a closer look at the morality tales at play in the life of the Benjamin Mee family that bought a zoo.
Movieology’s biggest fans often visit our Web site to access our exclusive Movieology reviews, but we have a wider audience outside these HTML walls. Curiously, the views of Movieology’s videos on YouTube are very different from the views of the reviews on Movieiology’s Web site. In this post, we take a look at what episodes mattered most to general audiences across the web.
Movieology fans are quite a unique breed. We checked to see which films mattered most to you over the course of 2011 (statistically speaking). Here are the top five films that garnered the most reads and comments from our website’s visitors. Some of the films here you might not expect since they were not necessarily great films! So why do they appear to be so relevant to us?
Mission Impossible baffles your mind with it’s larger-than-life daring do’s by the indefatigable spy of the IMF, Ethan Hunt. In this tall tale, he’s up against Russian terrorists that will stop at nothing to destroy mankind. “Oh, my goodness!” So does ‘Ghost Protocol’ prove yet again that there really isn’t such a thing as ‘the impossible’ for these secret agents? Is director Brad Bird’s debut to live-action filmmaking live up to his roster of family-oriented animated films? Find out now on Movieology!
‘J. Edgar’ sorely disappointed Clint Eastwood’s fans and critics alike. Oddly enough, however, it still has received praise and awards in spite of itself. Many believe it will still be lauded at the Academy Awards and receive multiple nominations. Is this justifiable? Are the critics and audiences out of their minds for not giving honor to this art where it is due? Or is the truth as complicated and nefarious as this latest film with a homosexual agenda?

DeVon Franklin practices what he preaches. He’s a Christian that works for as a V.P. at Columbia Pictures. DeVon’s book ‘Produced by Faith’, released a few months back, tells how he is able to live his faith *faithfully* and be a filmmaker in Hollywood at the same time. Is this reconcilable with a biblical worldview? Or is DeVon less than consistently faithful to work for such a movie studio?
‘Mission Impossible’ is still showing impressive results in the box office. We are not too surprised, and actually a bit grateful that ‘Sherlock Holmes’ has declined. This reinvented detective franchise has not been among our favorites in the first two installments, whereas, we do believe that the dynamic duo of Brad Bird and J.J. Abrams of ‘Mission Impossible’ does deserve more attention from theater patrons.

‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ get’s an awesome trailer! We half-way expected this first trailer to disappoint — as so many teaser trailers do. Not only is there Middle Earth substance to this preview, we see parallels to the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films we had not anticipated, and we garner an appreciation for Martin Freeman filling the feet of Bilbo Baggins (the movie’s namesake).
Part of the joy of Christmastime is that you have permission to watch the same movies over and over and listen to the same carols on repeat. There’s a certain festivity and nostalgia in the sameness of the season. But even your holiday favorites lose a little of their tinsel sparkle after the third or fourth viewing. … Have you watched Home Alone so many times you know the total of Kevin’s pizza delivery order ($11.80)? Does your family still try to laugh like they’ve never heard the dad mispronounce “fragile” on A Christmas Story (fraah-gee-lay)?
