    Wots this The Sweeney.
    Is this a remake of the old John Thaw Brit tough-cop series of the 70s?

    That was pretty-well shoite, but the music was great.

    The Hunger Games, simply because it was the only film of 2012 that I allowed myself to watch and I'm glad I did, it ended up being a much deeper film than I had allowed myself to believe it was based on the pre-release hype and never having read the novel and not knowing the premise on which it was based on.

    Peace,
    Alex

    Skyfall - best Bond ever!
    The Avengers - Best Marvel film yet!
    Dark Knight Rises - I don't like Batman but I liked this one.
    The Hunger Games - I enjoyed it , even though it looked like an R rated TV show.
    Sinister - Underated scary movie with the always great Ethan Hawk.
    Flight - Good story well told.
    no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone

    Silver Linings Playbook- starts out with characters that are almost impossible to like or care about, and by the end makes you care very deeply. And has Jennifer Lawrence doing her best work, even better than when she played Ree Dolly in Winter's Bone, which was itself the best movie of that year (2010).

    Imho, 2012 has been pretty weak for movies. I see around 45 every year in the Theater and another 80-100 on Netflix.

    My picks for the year are:

    Argo
    Silver Linings Playbook
    Skyfall
    The Master
    Prometheus


    All imho, of course.

    And yeah, I've seen some foreign language films too this year, but none are leaping out to me at the moment.

    All I saw was Moonrise Kingdom and The Hobbit. I liked them both.

    i just saw Django Unchained a few nights ago, i went into it knowing absolutely nothing except my preconceived notion that Tarrentino is a talentless hack with a few good ideas and great taste in music that got lucky with Pulp Fiction. not so, or well, maybe sort of.
    this movie goes all over the place with the non-period correct dialog, some seriousness, tons of campiness, great performances, shitty performances, a few resurrected Hollywood has-beens, some meandering scenes and a scattershot soundtrack - but fuck it, it works splendidly, he hit this baby out of the park (it doesn't matter how you get there, as long as you get there, right?).
    it's is an absolute blast of entertainment (sorry, Skyfall didn't provide that for me), by far my favorite of the year with Moonrise Kindom a very close 2nd.

    Django Unchained, bar none!

    The Dark Knight Rises comes in at number two.
