Well, if you were sick of the “Paranormal Activity” series we have news that is going to sting but shouldn’t surprise you: Paramount intends to move forward with Paranormal Activity 4 to be released on Oct. 19.
In most years, Skyfall would be the undisputed, hands-down, no-questions-asked No. 1 most-anticipated movie. This year, it sneaks in at No. 5. That’s because we’ve got films from two of the greatest franchises of ever coming out, as well as films from two of the most dynamic modern filmmakers (one of which is six years in the making).
The Artist is a silent film, but more so an homage to those films. After all, what better way to make a movie about silent movies than to make a silent movie? And in an era when a lot of movies don’t know when to shut up, how nice to have some silence.
It is the beginning of 2012 and we have a whole new year of DVD and Blu-ray releases awaiting us. Our first Recommendation of the Week is the DVD and Blu-ray release of the medical thriller Contagion. This Steven Soderbergh movie features an all star cast and the DVD and Blu-ray releases offer a series of documentaries that should scare germophobes even more.
In 2010 we reviewed 108 films for you, but we thought that was weak sauce so we upped it nearly in half. We have 149 movie reviews for you to peruse from 2011 along with the scores of every Player Affinity writer who saw it. You’ll find nothing this comprehensive anywhere except on Player Affinity.
The Player Affinity Movie Staff presents our combined best films of the year, worst films of the year, most disappointing films of the year and best offerings from 2011’s most successful genres.
It’s time to put the lid on the film canister for 2011, so to kick things off with our Year in Review we have the Player Affinity Movie Awards, a few handfuls of honors celebrating the many bests of 2011.
