Top 10 Movies I Saw This Year With a First Grader
Every movie I saw in a theater this year, I saw with a 6-year-old.
Normally, I see everything that comes out. Or, at least, a lot of things that come out. It’s often my job to do so, and it’s always a passion. Not this year. Not with a baby in the house and the schedule I’ve been keeping.
Still, I had a strangely great year at the movies. And with that restriction in mind, here are my Top 10 Movies of 2011*, all of which I saw with Zev:
- Super 8: A movie actually about kids, not just for them.
- The Adventures of Tintin: Only thing on here I need to see again in the theaters.
- Rango: Soooo terrifically weird.
- Captain America: Great musical number, great chase scenes, just the right tone.
- Real Steel: Zev stood on his chair and cheered, you can’t beat that.
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: Second best of the whole series, actually slowed down to spend some time with the plot.
- The Muppets: Too much nostalgia, but the songs make it.
- Cars 2: I think I’m alone (among adults) in loving this, but so what.
- Thor: At least I get to see a Natalie Portman movie.
- * Keeping this spot open, since I haven’t yet seen Hugo and have a feeling that’s going to be a winner.
What was your No. 1?
