Top 10 Environmental Movies of 2011

Environmental Film Festival
Environmental Film Festival

Environmental movies are among the most effective ways of drawing attention to the sensitive issue of environmental degradation. They usually cover a wide range of genres, and the format is not limited to the documentary. Some of them are far from the Hollywood style, while others are rather mainstream films. Their overall annual production reaches high numbers. If you are lost in the rich offer or hesitant about which to pick up, you might find an inspiration from the best movies of EFFY 2011, the Environmental Film Festival at Yale, as well as in the offer of highlights of the 2012 DC Environmental Film Festival, which will take place in March 2012.

Apparently a true story about the making of The Prince & The Showgirl - starring Marilyn Monroe & Laurence Olivier... getting lots of Oscar buzz... especially for Michelle Williams who steals the show as Marilyn! Enjoy!

Drive – movie review by Julie

StumbleUpon 0 Like 0 Retweet 0

Intense, action packed and a little gory! Be for warned. Rolling Stone Mag calls it one of the best if not THE best of the year but won't get much Oscar buzz because of the R rating!

I am so happy that David Fincher stayed true to the book and made it as exciting as I had hoped it would be!

The Help – reviewed by Julie

StumbleUpon 0 Like 0 Retweet 0

I read this book this summer and could not put it down. Despite the heavy topic of race discrimination and the civil rights movement in the deep south in the early 1960's it really has been written in a witty and warm way. The movie adaptation really worked – it brings to life the relationships and bonds that are formed by the maids and their families.

The Help review

The Ledge

StumbleUpon 0 Like 0 Retweet 0

This film had it's debut at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. I don't think it ever made it to the theartres - it went directly to video. The director/screenwriter is Matthew Chapman. The two stars that I recognized in the movie were Terrence Howard and Liv Tyler. The movie starts with the a young hotel manager standing on top of a building (on a ledge) about to end his life. It then flashes back to how he got there, and his life and death dilemma. The film involves a love story, why else would he be out on a ledge (ha, ha) and lots of suspense.

It didn't get very good reviews, which is why it never made it to the theatres. If you're looking for a 'film', it's not bad, but don't rent it if you're looking for the best movie you've ever seen!!

Moneyball – is reeeeally good!

The Mechanic – reviewed by Julie

The Mechanic is a decent summer rental - not crazy action, more like a mystery novel. There are a few twists and turns, and it is an enjoyable rental for those who like this type of movie.

Film Strip by Keith Williamson

Films that use real estate as a central motif are not unusual. The topic of real estate often emerges in the background in movies that deal with relationships — sometimes as a central conflict. When was the last time you saw a movie in which someone buys a house and everything goes well? You probably haven’t because there would be no interesting plot without a conflict. However, this can create a deceiving illusion of real estate deals as anything but a pleasant experience — not to mention the perception of realtors, who are so often portrayed as mean, greedy, sleazy, and deceptive people… or are they?
