#6 Source Code



Source Code is one of those films that is pretty enjoyable thriller if you dont think too much about the plot. I liked the premise that you can tap into the last 8 minutes of a dead person life to see what they experienced, but ultimately thought towards the end they could have done more with it. Instead they start making their way into the dreaded time-continuum hole that almost always leaves more questions than answers. Nearest I could tell they didnt even need to. Anyway though, if you just want to zone out and watch an exciting movie its great for that.

#5 Bridesmaids



Now this is a movie worth seeing. I don't know if it is worthy of the hype it has received, but It is definitely one of the funniest films I have seen in a while. Melissa McCarthy (far left in the above photo) steals every scene she is in, and Chris O' Dowd who plays the Irish cop, is very enjoyable as the straight-man to Kristen Wiig. I cant say that this film blazes any new territory, but it will get you the drudge of comedies that are currently out there.

Bridesmaids
Highly Recommended

#4 The Hangover II



This still from the movie best describes what everyone was doing during it. What an awful movie. I seriously never heard anyone really laugh. Sure there are a couple of laughs, but not the kind that make you remeber what you actually laughed at.

BOO

#3 Thor



As much as I have enjoyed all of the movies from Marvel's "Avengers" series this is definitely the worst. I don't mean to say its bad, it's just really hard to care about anything that is going on. Most of the movie takes place on Thor's planet in this Shakespearean tale of blah-blah-blah where they are fighting the Frost Giants from some other planet. The only parts of the movie that were interesting were those that were on earth, because once again. I don't care about two other planets fighting over whatever.

lastly I still am having trouble watching Natalie Portman in a film without thinking about "Black Swan".
