Well, since the Academy of Motion Pictures had its say, I decided to write my own favorite movies of 2012, a sort of personal Academy Awards. And the Oscar goes to . . .
1. Lincoln good overall film, the old history-to-life thing
2. The Avengers an entertaining combination, and so much hunkiness in one film
3. Les Miserables bold effort; loved the scope and cinematography, thought the voices weren't very strong (the 25th anniversary concert version blows the listener away)
4. Moonrise Kingdom quirky and memorable
5. Skyfall I'm not necessarily a 007 fan, but I enjoyed the nostalgia and action in this one
6. Wreck-it Ralph imaginative, jumping video games and combining early-80s games and technology with new stuff--funny
7. The Dark Knight Rises good action, brooding superhero
8. The Hobbit a little long, but well-crafted, and may even lead to some teenagers (mine) reading more
9. Brave one for girl power; she's a fiery one :)
10. The Bourne Legacy not as intense as the other Bourne films, but a fun ride.
(Note: no Twilight on this list, ever.)
Have fun at the movies :)
i finally got to catch up on your top 10s!
ReplyDeletei'm glad great minds think alike! :)
