Best Movie Mistakes of 2011
1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 – Why is there snow in Hogsmeade when the trio gets there and meets Aberforth? Hogsmeade and Hogwarts are within walking distance of each other, yet there is no snow at Hogwarts.
2. X-Men: First Class – In First Class, Professor X is made handicapped in 1962 at the end of the movie. In the previous X-men movie, he was walking when he visited the girl (Jean) in the mid 70s with Magneto.
3. Transformers: Dark of the Moon – In the first scene with Carly coming up the stairs she is wearing a white cap, when the camera changes to the front view and she is holding the stuffed rabbit the cap is gone.
4. The Green Hornet – When Reid and Kato are fighting by the pool, the beach ball falls off the chair (beside the pool) when they land in the water, but is back up on the chair in a following shot.
5. Source Code – This scene is repeated multiple times in the movie: usually when the main character enters the “source code” the scene begins by panning over a small pond showing a Canadian goose taking flight. However the sound editor makes the mistake of dubbing in a recording of a hen mallard duck.
6. Fast Five – The gang steal four brand new Police spec 2011 Dodge Chargers. When Brian and Dom yank the safe out, the Chargers they’re driving are older spec, with the old tail lights. Han and Roman are seen driving the other, new Chargers later in that chase.
7. The Hangover Part 2 - Bradley Cooper calls Stu “Ed” when they are fleeing from Russians with the monkey.
8. Scream 4 – In the final shot of the film, Jill’s head moves slightly when she’s supposed to be dead.
9. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – Captain Barbossa’s ship has a modern Union Jack flying on the stern. The film is set in the reign of George II (1727 – 1760). The flag shown includes the cross of St Patrick, although Ireland did not become part of the United Kingdom until 1801, and the Union Jack at the time of the film would have comprised only the crosses of St George (England) and St Andrew (Scotland).
10. Thor – When the Destroyer arrives amidst the Shield agents, a coffee cup sitting on the dash of one of the vehicles spills over. The next shot it can be seen lying on its side. The reverse angle shot then shows it upright again.

Roger Ebert's Top 20 Films from 2011
1. A Separation — “‘A Separation’ will become one of those enduring masterpieces watched decades from now.”
2. Shame — “Michael Fassbender’s brave, uncompromising performance is at the center of Steve McQueen’s merciless film about sex addiction.”
3. The Tree of Life — “A film of vast ambition and deep humility, attempting no less than to encompass all of existence and view it through the prism of a few infinitesimal lives.”
4. Hugo — “Could anyone but Scorsese have made this subject so magical and enchanting?”
5. Take Shelter — “Director Jeff Nichols builds his suspense carefully.”
6. Kinyarwanda — “[A]n independent film of great emotional impact.”
7. Drive — “‘Drive’ looks like one kind of thriller in the ads, and it is that kind of thriller, but also another and a rebuke to most of the movies it looks like.”
8. Midnight in Paris — “A fabulous daydream for American lit majors.”
9. Le Havre — “Aki Kaurismaki is a Finnish director who makes dour, deadpan comedies about people who shrug their way through misfortune. They have a hypnotic fascination for me.”
10. The Artist — “What audacity to make a silent film in black and white in 2011, and what a film Michel Hazanavicius has made!”
11. Melancholia — “The details matter less than the grand overarching mood.”
12. Terri — “He may be a kid who is fat and weird, but he’s much more than fat and weird.”
13. The Descendants — “George Clooney in one of his best performances.”
14. Margaret — “[W]hat’s important is the conflict between the young woman’s perfectionism and things as they are.”
15. Martha Marcy May Marlene — “[B]uilds on the strong Elizabeth Olsen to show how easily groups can control their members.”
16. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 — “[A] solid and satisfying conclusion.”
17. Trust — “The bravest thing about David Schwimmer’s ‘Trust’ is that it doesn’t try to simplify.”
18. Life, Above All — “The seriousness and solemnity with which she performs this task is heart-rending and heart-warming.”
19. The Mill and the Cross — “Any description would be an injustice… It is a film before which words fall silent.”
20. Another Earth — “This one doesn’t presage the end of the world, but represents perhaps our very same Earth, in another universe that has now become visible.”
Ebert then goes ont to list some more of his favorite movies that didn’t end up on his list:

Super Tough!: The Motion Pictures of 2011
Description:
Many good films came out this year. Obviously, I wasn't able to include all of them in this clip, that would be impossible to edit, but many of them are in here, 226 of them to be exact. This video took about 2 months of editing on a daily basis to complete and is by far the biggest project I've ever edited, so... hope you like it!

Super Tough!: 2011: The Movie
The creator of the video shares some words of wisdom:
Don't let Hollywood fool you, It's all the same movie... as the creator of the video I have to say that I AM NOT considering these anticipated. To be honest the only one I think worth seeing is "super 8",everything else is just the same crap. It's just a mash up showing how every movie this year looks the same. Not with plot or story just look. It's all aliens, superheros and explosions. I didnt put harry potter in there because who cares about potter anymore, we all know how it ends. I'm glad some enjoyed it.
