SCRAPBOOK 2011
Movies
01. Love and Other Drugs (19.01.11) ★★★★☆
This movie was amazing because it was Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway fucking. This was why I watched it and omg, did it ever deliver! I didn't know who to ogle at more, they are both so attractive and expressive and open in their faces. Also the side plot was ACTUALLY REALLY SAD, I teared up quite a bit.
02. The Kids Are All Right (19.01.11) ★★★★★
UGH THIS MOVIE I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY, it was hilarious one minute and absolutely ripping out my heart the next. The movie really captured the awkwardness of the whole situation and god did the characters do some dumb things, and yet I loved every single second and found it really emotional/believable.
03. Ordinary People (25.01.11) ★★★☆☆

11. The King's Speech (29.05.11) ★★★★☆
12. X-Men: First Class (02.06.11) ★★★★★
Excluding the racial/gender fails of this movie, IT WAS SO AWESOME AND I LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF IT. THE CHARACTERISATION. WAS. AMAZING. It was every single backstory that I only hoped existed from the other movies.
13. Penelope (08.06.11) ★★★★★
THIS WAS A PERFECT FILM. THERE ARE NO OTHER WORDS TO DESCRIBE.
14. Becoming Jane (08.06.11) ★★★★★
This movie was actual pornography to me, even though there was no sex (WHY WAS THERE NO SEX? I get that you're going for historical accuracy but omg) they were so fucking hot together, 18th century witty banter!

Television
01. Misfits Season 2 (26.12.10 - 02.01.11) ★★★☆☆
02. Leverage Season 1 (03.01.11 - 18.01.11) ★★★★☆
This show is delightful and super smart, plus I love everyone so much I don't even know how to handle it. OT5! No seriously though, I was expecting to ship Parker/Hardison like burning and I do, but NATE/SOPHIE JFC!!! Mainly because Sophie is my favourite, their backstory is awesome and their chemistry is off the charts.
03. Miranda Season 1 (16.01.11 - 17.01.11) ★★★★☆

10. Six Feet Under Season 5 (27.02.11 - 05.03.11) ★★★★★
I loved this season so much. I loved how the whole season was working toward wrapping the story lines up for these characters in the most real way. God I was so astounded by the last five or so episodes, I can't think of any other show that would have done that but it was so perfect and brought the whole show full circle, even if I bawled every episode. The finale was the best ending to a show I've ever seen, I literally tear up every time I even think of it. I think it may be the
finest scene of television I've ever seen (I always think I will make it through without crying, but it's not possible). Even
the promo for it is amazing, fuck this stupid show and how perfect it is.
11. Grey's Anatomy Season 3 (03.04.11 --) ★★★☆☆
12. Grey's Anatomy Season 1 ★★★★★
13. Grey's Anatomy Season 2 (-- 25.04.11) ★★★★★
14. The Good Wife Season 1 (04.05.11 - 24.05.11) ★★★★★
15. How I Met Your Mother Season 6 (21.09.10 - 17.05.11) ★★★☆☆
This season had such a strong start and some amazing moments throughout the season (Bad News/Last Words!!) but it still hasn't managed to reclaim the spark of the earlier seasons. All the characters remain perfect though, and I still ship Barney/Robin a ridiculous degree, so. I will be back for next season!
16. Castle Season 3 (09.11.10 - 17.05.11) ★★★★★
TO ME, YOU ARE PERFECT. Fuck I loved this season so much, it was absolutely my favourite season of the 10-11 period and I cannot wait for it to be back in my life.
17. Bones Season 6 (24.09.10 - 19.05.11) ★☆☆☆☆
Remember last year when I reviewed season 5 and said it was my favourite season ever? I don't even know what happened to that show, but it completely ceased to exist. There was literally one episode this entire season that I really liked. We will not discuss the season finale ever again. However, I will probably still (halfheartedly) watch next season, I CAN'T GIVE IT UP :(
18. Parks and Recreation Season 3 (21.01.11 - 20.05.11) ★★★★★
19. Modern Family Season 2 (04.01.11 - 26.05.11) ★★★★☆
20. Grey's Anatomy Season 4 (25.04.11 - 28.05.11) ★★★☆☆
It's probably a bad thing that I still kind of liked this season and could not stop beaming through the entire finale. GODDAMN MEREDITH GREY AND HER ENTIRE EXISTENCE
21. Luther Season 1 (03.06.11 - 05.06.11) ★★★★★
