I have reservations about posting a “Best of 2012” list. Because 1) I hate ranking movies; 2) lists are arbitrary and pointless; and 3) I haven’t seen enough 2012 releases to write a comprehensive post. But since there are only a few hours left in 2012 (here on the east coast), I feel somewhat obligated to at least mention the movies I enjoyed this year. They are:
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Damsels in Distress
Django Unchained
The Hunger Games
Moonrise Kingdom
Pitch Perfect
The Sessions
Silver Linings Playbook
Sleepwalk With Me
Zero Dark Thirty
Movies I Still Need To See: Amour; Les Miserables; Life of Pi; Looper; The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Movies I Feel Apathetic About: Anna Karenina; Argo; Brave; The Dark Knight Rises; Lincoln
Movie I Wanted To Like But Didn’t: The Master
Favorite Jeremy Renner Movie: Like I can decide something like that. (Yes, I’m still obsessed.)
And that’s my take on the films released in 2012, which will be known as the year I essentially gave up on having opinions about movies. To a lesser extent, blogging. Oh well. On to 2013!
