The Artist (2011) |
You have to applaud a movie that takes every rule for How to Sell Your Movie to Modern Audiences and throws it on a silver nitrate fire. - Movies.com

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011) |
Nic Cage doesn't get a chance to qualify for the Razzies in this one, which prompts me to recommend you rent Drive Angry instead. That movie has a much better use of a human skull. - Movies.com

Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012) |
Full of images that weave, fade, and flicker among each other, it's visually one of the most beautiful of the year, holding you in the palm of its tiny child-sized hand, floating through the chaos. - Movies.com

Magic Mike (2012) |
I was gunning for Showgirls only as Show Boys. Instead director Steven Soderbergh did something normal and classy, which are two words I associate with his other films and did not want to describe this film. - Movies.com

Total Recall (2012) |
There's plenty of bright, shiny stuff to look at and impressive punches and kicks, but the movie never gets fun. - Movies.com

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012) |
Wimpy Kid doesn't need to use seizure-inducing, bright, shiny tricks to distract you from the thin plot, like disco dance floors and rats being hurled off of cruise ships in 3D. - Movies.com

Step Up Revolution (2012) |
Step Up Revolution is an exercise in extremes--when the characters aren't busy crying over the same ol', same ol', they're dancing in some of the most unique, exciting setups ever produced that will make your eyes pop out of your head. - Movies.com

The Dark Knight Rises (2012) |
The last act of the film delivers in a shocking way. What comes before it is imperfect, but since we're talking about Nolan here, it's still worth seeing, discussing, and then seeing again. - Movies.com

Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection (2012) |
There are laughs in it, according to the enthusiastic audience I saw it with, but they're pretty spaced out and belong to Madea. What happens between them is unremarkable. - Movies.com

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) |
Aside from the 3D animation looking fantastic and the film having a dark, complex feel to it that makes it feel more grown up, the primary reason worth watching is Andrew Garfield. - Movies.com

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012) |
It relies solely on the gimmick that it's funny to have an ex-President using a silver-coated axe to fight mythical creatures. There's nothing else there. - Movies.com

Lola Versus (2012) |
Every time I walk out of a movie with Greta Gerwig in it, such as Damsels in Distress, Greenberg, and especially Arthur, I think, "You know what would have made that movie better? More Greta Gerwig." - Movies.com

Although I am still bewildered by it, enjoying this movie has inspired me to revisit the original material. It's making me chuckle just as much. Could it be that I had to mature a little in order to enjoy such juvenile pleasures? Man, am I confused. - Movies.com
