[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 48049, member: 134"] I don't usually run my mouth off on Facebook, but every year I do this. Thought I'd share here, cause if there's one think I like talking about more than pinball, it's movies. 62 new to me movies I saw this year. Of that, only 10 got the theatrical visit by me. 27 were from 2011, and 1 was from 2010 (where I should have left it). Better viewing year than last, still need to get to the theater more though, cause it does make a difference in appreciation. Anyways, let's dive right in, eh? [B]Most liked that I saw in 2012[/B] -The Raid: Redemption -Cabin in the Woods -Avengers* -MIB 3 -Prometheus 3D* -Dark Knight Rises* -Bourne Legacy* -The Hobbit* -A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas If you are an action junky, The Raid is hands down the movie you need to see. Puts everything else to shame. And if you're wondering what the * means, it's to denote what I saw in a theater. [B]Better than average that I saw in 2012[/B] -Chronicle -Hunger Games -The Three Stooges -Looper -Skyfall* -Wreck-It Ralph 3D* -The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo -Hugo 3D* -The Immortals -Rise of the Planet of the Apes -Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules Yes, Wimpy Kid is on here because this series is genuinely funny, despite being a kid’s movie. And please give The Immortals a watch. It is beautiful and highly entertaining. And I'm as shocked at Three Stooges being on here as you are. What can I say, the boy and I laughed. [B]Hated that I saw in 2012[/B] -Haywire (so boring) -Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (hate the directors, and then there’s Nic Cage) -Wrath of the Titans (boring) -Snow White and the Huntsman* (last 3rd is completely laughable) -Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Pt 1 (as if I’d like this) -Footloose (totally unnecessary) -Tree of Life (nothing but 2nd unit b roll) -Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows (disappointingly boring) I really despise Tree of Life, so much that now I don’t want to give The Master a chance. And the only reason I watch those stupid Twilight movies is cause my wife watches them, and I can’t resist sitting down so I can mock. [B]Everything else I saw in 2012[/B] -The Grey* -This Means War -Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie -John Carter* -Get the Gringo -21 Jump Street -American Reunion -Safe -Battleship -The Expendables 2 -Premium Rush -The Adventures of Tin Tin -Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy -Puss In Boots -Real Steel -The Ides of March -Moneyball -Drive -Colombiana -Friends With Benefits -Winnie the Pooh -Bad Teacher -The Hangover Pt 2 -Paul -The Lincoln Lawyer -I Am Number Four -30 Minutes of Less -Warrior -Killer Elite -The Descendants -In Time -Anonymous -Young Adult -Never Let Me Go Special Awards for 2012...
