2012 Movie Recommendations

[Art Andrews]

Time to roll back another year!


I am always on the lookout for good movies I haven't seen. They don't have to be blockbusters or Oscar winners. Just something good that I may have missed. Right now, I am looking back at 2012.




Here are the movies I liked from 2012. If you can think of any movies from 2012 that you liked that aren't on this list, please post them and I'll give them a shot!

My top 3 films for 2013:
Prometheus
Prometheus

*Small nod to Dredd

I was not impressed by Act of Valor. Just saying.

 

[Mr Webber]

Copped a lot of flac at the time for thinking Prometheus was a brave and well executed departure from the tired and over used monster approach , good to see I wasn`t alone.

 

[The Wook]

The Hobbit

Ooof...looking at your list of notable 2012 films, Art, I'm reminded how horrible The Hobbit was.

There was, however, a hilarious SNL fake trailer for the movie, which I wish I could find, but I cannot. In lieu of that, though, this is another great parody take from SNL...if ya've seen the British version of The Office, that is.

As for any recommendations from me, I'm afraid I don't remember films based on the year they came out, but rather, by running time.

The Wook

I was not impressed by Act of Valor. Just saying.

I agree. Other than having real SEALs in it, and Roselyn Sanchez, who somehow remained hot while looking like she was beaten to an inch of her life, I wasn't impressed.

I know a lot of people hated it and there were a few cring-worthy moments, but overall, I really loved it.

It wasn't a great movie by any means, but I took it for what it was and enjoyed it. I have only watched it once so that might say something....

It was precisely the use of real SEALs instead of actors that made it unwatchable to me. I have nothing but respect for their bravery and service, but those guys had no business acting in a major motion picture. That's precisely why I don't plan on seeing 15:17 to Paris (that and my dad saw it and he hated it)

Its also one of if not the highest standard and quality 3D films ever made.

The Grey
Moonrise Kingdom (I know you have seen only couple of Wes Anderson's films and aren't much of a fan, but I am still recommending this)
Argo
The Raid: Redemption
The Cabin in the Woods
Goon
