2012 Movies of the Year: 1-10
#1 Our Idiot Brother - Paul Rudd is 100% lovable and charming, amazing supporting cast, low-stakes enjoyment. 7.5/10
#2 Midnight In Paris - Owen Wilson is mostly a bystander, but the movie wraps you up in the magic of Paris. Great fun. 8.5/10
#3 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck absolutely crush it. Gripping, compelling. 9/10
#4 Tomorrow Never Dies - Pierce Brosnan has a thrilling 2nd outing as Bond. Meets his match in a Chinese spy, raises the stakes. 8/10
#5 Tron: Evolution - Looks great, sounds great, but emotion and stakes for main characters fall flat, similar to Avatar. 7/10
#6 Apollo 18 - Great premise, nearly tolerable execution. Loved the cast and the film’s style, but the plot could have been WAY stronger 5/10
#7 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Still one of my favorites in the series. Umbridge is pitch-perfect, secondary cast steps up. 9/10
#8 Thor - Watched with RachM3, getting psyched for The Avengers this summer. No better Thor than Chris Hemsworth. 9/10
#9 RED - Amazing cast of all-stars, yet the whole thing drags and feels forced. Malcovich is the stand-out. 6/10
#10 I Am Number Four- Painfully typical, riddled with 2010 indie rock staples. Showtime’s free weekend was a bust. 4/10
