Killer Joe 2012
A gruesome, greasy bucket-load of uninhibited tastelessness...and I mean that it the best possible way
-
Take This Waltz 2012
Repeditive, redundant and drowning in indie film cliches
-
Prometheus 2012
While its ambition should be applauded, Prometheus is a bitter disappointment; a film that fails to live up to its own lofty aspirations or the legacy of the masterpiece it precedes. Heightened expectations aside, it contains a dearth of three-dimensional characters and is hamstrung by a script that never really attempts to address its own questions, be they of grand celestial importance or basic narrative mechanics

Snow White and the Huntsman 2012
Although Kristen Stewart is dreadful and what I thought was epic sound work turned out to just be a minor earthquake, Snow White & the Huntsman still turns out to be a surprisingly compelling action/fantasy film with a consistent pace, effective atmosphere and commanding visuals galore.

The Avengers 2012
Blockbuster filmmaking at it's finest, THE AVENGERS is pure, unadulterated fun. Not only the action phenomenal, but the script is terrific (and often hilarious). Whedon takes Thor's Hammer and knocks it out of the park

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel 2012
Cute and charming, in a simplistic, vaguely condescending kind of way
-
The Five-Year Engagement 2012
Could have been edited down significantly, but still quite funny and occasionally rather insightful. Free champaign and cupcakes at the screening didn't hurt
-
The Cabin in the Woods 2012
If you love horror movies, then you will love Cabin in the Woods. Not because it's scary (although it is), but because it loves horror movies too.

Wrath of the Titans 2012
Much better than the last film. Which is unfortunately not the same as being good
