Midnight In Paris is totally amazing and made me not hate Owen Wilson for once, that alone is award worthy. Source Code definitelt deserved a nom in my opinion.

Melancholia is not just my favorite film for the year....it's one of my favorite films ever....i feel like 2011 was an ok year....certainly not a great year in film

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is such an incredibly moving book that just does not translate to screen well...still a great read

some other great films in my humble opinion....

Carnage
Drive
Thor
X-Men: First Class
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Shame
The Thing
Super 8
Captain America: The First Avenger
Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I don't like Thor as a Marvel character so I found that movie boring imo.

I also wasn't a fan of Captain America until Winter Soldier and Civil War rolled around.

I wasn't a fan of the first Cap film either.

85th Academy Awards

Argo
Amour
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Django Unchained
Les Misérables
Life of Pi
Lincoln
Silver Linings Playbook
Zero Dark Thirty

I remember this year very well because I was pulling for Lincoln to win or Beasts of the Southern Wild. I feel like Argo was an upset. What do you guys think? Now that I look at this list, I sadly skipped over Life of Pi. I need to add that movie into my "to watch" list.

Movies that came out in 2012

I will edit this post later on today which my favorite movies that came out that year.

My favorite movies of 2012. Bold are special.

The Act of Killing
Amour
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Being Flynn
The Broken Circle Breakdown
Cabin in the Woods
The Central Park Five
Chronicle
Compliance
Cosmopolis
Rust and Bone
The Wall
Django Unchained
Dredd
Ernest and Celestine
Frances Ha
Gimme the Loot
Holy Motors
The Imposter
It's Such a Beautiful Day
The Hunt
Killing Them Softly
Lawless
Life of Pi
Looper
The Master
Moonrise Kingdom

Museum Hours
Pieta
The Place Beyond the Pines
Post Tenebras Lux
Prometheus
Resolution
Searching for Sugar Man
Silver Linings Playbook
Simon Killer
Skyfall
Sleepwalk with Me
Spring Breakers
Stories We Tell
Wish You Were Here
Zero Dark Thirty

Great Year. The true winner of best film is a tie between The Master and The Act of Killing. The actual winner should have been Life of Pi. It really is a wonderful film. If I were to give an obscure rec I would say track down The Broken Circle Breakdown. Be prepared though because it will rip your heart out and spit on it.

It's on par with about 40-60% of their episodes. The best Simpsons episodes are a pretty high bar to raise and when I first saw the movie, I was going in with expectations that it would reach that high and was disappointed.

Consider me converted.

"Of course I have. Have you ever tried going mad without power? It's boring, nobody listens to you."
