Appearances can be deceiving. Liberal Arts is a movie with a boring title, a boring poster and a boring-sounding premise. Liberal Arts is also one of the more heartwarming and engaging romantic dramas of the year.

If you watch a bad movie once, it isn’t your fault. You didn’t know that it was going to be a bad movie. If you watch a bad movie twice, and you voluntarily drove to the theater, parked and sat in an auditorium for 90 minutes to do so, then there is no one to blame but yourself. Silent House is a remake of last year’s Spanish-language film of the same name, and while it improves upon some of the original’s flaws, it is still a stupid, dull and absurdly disappointing horror movie.

Frankly, 2011 was not a great year for movies. There were a lot of good movies, but few great movies. Spielberg released two movies, but neither were among his best. Scorsese made a kid’s movie, which, despite popular opinion, is not an Oscar-caliber film. The comic book adaptations were entertaining but not mind blowing. The various sequels lived up to their predecessors, but nothing more.
Still, there were a few that stood out from the rest. Few if any on this list were amazing, but they are the best that 2011 had to offer.

You may know her sisters. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Your probably don’t know her. Elizabeth Olsen, the 22-year old actress who makes her big-screen debut in Martha Marcy May Marlene. You will. Olsen turns in a career-making performance as a troubled young woman haunted by her experiences in abusive cult, and the movie, from writer/director Sean Durkin, is easily one of the best movies of 2011.
