Friday Favorites: Best Movies Of 2012

patty — 2012-12-21T16:00:07-08:00

This week we shall talk about movies! I have seen SO many movies this year, probably more than I ever have in theaters. I have tried to keep up with giving you reviews on the movies by the month, which you may or may not have checked out. There have been some good, some disappointing, some horrible and some amazing movies that came out this past year. Actually, there are still a few I feel like would make my list, like Django Unchained, Zero Dark Thirty and Silver Linings Playbook. They all look great! Based off of what I have seen so far, I'm going to share my Top 10 favorites! It is going to be a hard decision! What were your favorite movies this year?

Wreck-It Ralph

If you've ever played video games, you will appreciate this movie. If you love cuteness, you will definitely appreciate this! I really want to watch this movie again. I have to say, this was my favorite animated movie this year. And me picking my favorite animated movie, is a BIG deal!

The Dark Knight Rises

Surprise surprise. I think it would be ridonkulous if this movie weren't on my list! All minus Catwoman, LOVE! It was such a perfect ending for the perfect trilogy. I had a few friends who liked this more than The Dark Knight, I don't know if I could go as far as saying that. It came pretty darn close though. I mean Tom Hardy, is one of my many lovers, and he killed it. There were a little of everything for everyone, action, romance, surprises, crying. Oh my, how close I was to balling in this movie. The fact I never cry in movies, and I almost cried in this MOVIE. You guys, it's over, time to have myself a marathon. Especially since my friends know me so well, that they ALREADY got me this for Christmas.

Celeste and Jesse Forever

I had heard about the movie and seen a few trailers and stuff, but it was only released in select theaters so I wasn't able to watch it when it came out. But it happened to be playing on the plane to Paris, and it was a great plane ride. These two are so good together! As though they aren't funny enough by themselves, the just had great chemistry. And it really wasn't the story I was expecting, which made me love it more. I am not very into the romantic movies, but this definitely isn't sappy at all and I don't know if I could characterize it as a romcom either. Either way, it is a good movie.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

pishelle — 2012-12-21T13:48:59-08:00

There is not a single person I have recommended this book to, that did not like it. Because the book is just amazing. By far one of my favorite books I have ever read. As short as it is, the book is just filled with so much meaning. I was able to connect with Charlie and everything he went through more than any character I have ever read. I was super excited and nervous about this movie. Because, I loved the casting, but they had a lot to live up to. But they really did an amazing job! Logan Lerman was the absolute best choice for Charlie, and I am not saying that because I am obsessed with him. I did not love Emma Watson at all, but even her bad accent did not stop the movie from being great!

If you haven't read the book, read it first and then watch the movie! But they are both worth your time! :)

The Avengers

pishelle — 2012-12-21T13:48:58-08:00

I know, how can I have this and Batman in the same list? Because they were both THAT good! I really liked the individual movies for Thor and Captain America and I hated Iron Man. But I even enjoyed Iron Man in the mist of the others! It was kind of a miracle. Everyone bounced off of each other so well, and I love how well the connected everyone's story lines with their individual movies. I really just wish they would give Mark Ruffalo his own Hulk movie!

Seven Psychopaths

pishelle — 2012-12-21T13:48:57-08:00

I knew this movie was made by the director of In Bruges and that he was teaming up with Collin Farrell again. Which was awesome, because In Bruges is one of my favorites ever. But, from the posters and few commercials I saw, this movie just looked weird and lame. I had very low expectations, and man was I wrong. The randomest concept, yes, but it is so funny and clever. It is very strange, but so good.

Lincoln

pishelle — 2012-12-21T13:48:56-08:00

I'm sorry, but can there just not be a Best Actor category for anything this year? Because if Daniel Day Lewis doesn't sweep the whole thing, well then I think it's safe to say whoever runs the award shows are STUPID! This man legitimately walked, talked and lived like Lincoln. It is a bit scary how good he is in the role. By far the best movie in every category, in my book.

Brave

pishelle — 2012-12-21T13:48:55-08:00

I love the fact this movie isn't a love story! She is the first princess who doesn't fall in love with some Prince Charming or what-not. So don't get fooled. Merida is fighting for her independence and has some interesting adventures with her mom! I love when a movie turns out unexpected, as most movies out these days are so predictable.

Argo

pishelle — 2012-12-21T13:48:54-08:00

This movie was just plain good. It's one of those movies that everyone should watch. The movie was based off of a real event, that I had never even heard about before. The whole movie, you just can't wait to see how it ends and everyone in the movie was brilliant!

21 Jump Street

pishelle — 2012-12-21T13:48:53-08:00

I can't believe this movie came out this year! It feels like forever ago! But this movie may forever be one of my favorite comedies, definitely my favorite buddy comedy. The fact that my lover Davy is in it and everyone is just so hilarious. I may just have to watch this again soon!

Catwoman from 'Batman: The Animated Series'

As much as we love the Disney princesses and all their fairytale glory, we can't help but notice that up until now, other than Mulan, they really hadn't done that much standing up for themselves... that is, until Brave's Princess Merida! In the movie Brave, which opens today, Scottish princess Merida is a tough cookie who refuses to settle and chooses to set her own destiny. In honor of Brave opening up today, here are 10 animated females who kick butt! Which animated female kicks the most butt?

She called them "Frank-N-Furter Shoes"

Lolita Bently — 2012-05-19T13:08:49-08:00

I was sold, they're only like $35 I'm going to kiss my mom's ass ALL WEEK so maybe next weekend she'll take me back and buy me said "Frank-n-Furter Shoes"
