Usually at the end of the calendar year film critics release their top ten list of the year's best films. I would have posted my list but there were some films on to watch list that I had not gotten to. I have to admit 2012 was a great year for films. There were so many gems that came out. Now that the Oscars are about a week away here is my top ten.
The highly
anticipated Tarantino's revenge flick did not disappoint. It was
filled with fantastic performances that were accompanied by a remarkable score.
It was hilarious and horrific all at the same time.
Robert Zemeckis returns to live-action cinema with the
thrilling Flight. Denzel Washington
gives his finest performance to date. It is a damn shame that he remarkable
performance is a bit of a whisper this award season. This compelling film will
haunt you long after you finished watching it.
This tiny film that premiered at Sundance last year was a
diamond in the rough. It was devastatingly beautiful.
4.
The
Perks of Being a Wallflower
The second film to stomp all over my heart. Just an
incredible coming of age story filled with funny and heartbreaking
performances.
Blockbusters usually skip on substance and overload on gimmicks.
The
Avengers was one fun and smart hell of a ride. It put all other
blockbusters to shame.
The funniest film of the year was the biggest surprise for
me.
It is not often that you find a smart romantic comedy that
is well written with riveting performances.
The most visually striking film of
the year is powered by the brilliant performance of Suraj Sharma and the
wonderful direction of Ang Lee.
9.
Men
in Black 3
Never in my wildest dreams did I
imagine that the final saga in the Men in
Black series would make my top ten list. This wonderful surprise was
hilarious and heartwarming.
Honorable Mention: The Dark Knight Rises, Bernie, and Looper
Movies I have yet to watch but sure I would love: Argo, Lincoln, End of Watch, Zero Dark Thirty, The Intouchables
