Django Unchained 2012
Once upon time in the west, QT dropped the N-bomb a thousand times. Stodgy in places, but with enough charisma to see it through the drier spells.

The Avengers 2012
Smart, witty, action-packed, true to source and carrying-on the great Buffy legacy. The comic-book movie perfected.

The Dark Knight Rises 2012
With a disjointed narrative that never satisfies, spectacle that never sparkles & dialogue that's more like monologue, this is disappointingly dull film making.

Silver Linings Playbook 2012
This is one step away from a bad mid-period Jim Carrey film. Ooh look at me I’m kooky-crazy, try-hard, blah-blah, cynical Oscar-bait.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 2012
Rewatched in 3D - a much more impressive experience, clearly shot (flawlessly) for the gimmick.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 2012
Fan service on a grand scale, Jackson's tale of comedy dwarves & CGI orcs is one for the fans only. Luckily for me, I am one.

Moonrise Kingdom 2012
This gentle tale of a rogue Scout and his first love is one of Anderson’s funniest and kindest. It’s also very attractive, with charming period touches.
