Image
Hello everyone! J Dubbs (Xobehtedistuo - Outside the Box) here with my top 5 films of 2011 as we start of the new year. I was supposed to have this posted early this week but I delayed myself due to thinking this through and I definitely have been thinking about this without a doubt and definitely hope that you can enjoy my choices for films and please know that my views are different from my comrades and that we were both at the cinema when we saw these films! Please enjoy and comment away! 5. CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER This one was a very hard choice for me. I did not know where to place Captain America: The First Avenger but I was impressed by the unique approach in setting up one of the most famous characters in the Marvel universe. It surpassed my expectations and actually had a very excellent set up for not only the character of Steve Rogers but also introducing and connecting the stories of the Avengers and the individual stories that link to Iron Man and Thor as w...

But mostly we debate movies, so we've decided to post our own top 5 favorite movies of the year. Only movies that we have seen theatrically and have charted in the U.S. Box Office. So without further delay, here is MY personal top 5. 5. SUPER 8 SUPER 8 is one of those movies that if you're a movie buff takes you back to when you watched movies as a kid and it made you feel invested. Directed by J.J. Abrams it was a tribute to the Spielberg films of the 80's like E.T., The Goonies, etc. Starring a cast of young actors, the film takes place in a small town in the late 70's. While filming a movie group of kids witness a train wreak that unleashes an unknown creature. It was a fun movie that had everything you were looking for in a summer movie. 4. THOR Amazingly, thi...
