Mr. Hakujin Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 So we've got about 5 weeks of films left before 2012 comes to a close. What movies are still on your "must see" list for 2012? In other words, is your 'Top 10' list for 2012 already filled (likely #1 or 2 is permanently taken by The Avengers) , or are there still some contenders out there you need to see before you can finish your list? Film's I still wanna see before I make my Top 10 of 2012 list: Django Unchained The Hobbit (Part 1 of 2 3) Les Miserables Life of Pi Lincoln The Man With the Iron Fists FIlms I still wanna see, but probably won't make my Top 10 of 2012 list: Flight Jack Reacher Seven Psychopaths SiIlver Linings Playbook The Impossible The Sessions This Is 40 Zero Dark Thirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You've seemingly omitted Twilight from your list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Django, Wreck it Ralph...maybe Cloud Atlas. i don't think Eva or Batman TDK part 2 (animated) will be in time. oh yeah, i'd download Paranormal Activity 4 and the new Silent Hill, but a baytor co-sign would help.

Iambaytor Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I haven't seen Paranormal Activity 4 or Silent Hill 2 and am in no large hurry to do either, so don't hold your breath. I am, however, looking forward to The Hobbit, Django, Man With the Iron Fists, and maybe Les Miserables (it had a good trailer at least, I've never actually seen the play) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 ... Wreck it Ralph...maybe Cloud Atlas. . . I haven't given my actual top 10 list much thought yet, but both of these could be contenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I wanna see Total Recall, Dredd, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Hunger Games, The Grey, Brave, Ghost Rider, Chimpanzee, Rock of Ages, Sinister, Paranormal Activity 4, Playing for Keeps, The Hobbit, & Les Mis.

Reverend Jax Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 No one's mentioned it yet, has anyone seen Skyfall yet? I've heard mostly good things, but a few people said it was a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I STILL haven't seen Skyfall... and that's a problem. It's the ONLY movie I HAVE TO see before the end of 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 No, Django Unchained is the only movie you have to see before the end of 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 shit, i wanna catch Skyfall as well. why aren't there more screeners leaking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I find myself morbidly curious about On the Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted November 25, 2012 Author Share Posted November 25, 2012 ^^Eh. I'll wait for Netflix on that one. No one's mentioned it yet, has anyone seen Skyfall yet? I've heard mostly good things, but a few people said it was a disappointment. I thought it was worth seeing. There are some homages to previous Bond films, it goes in to more of Bond''s history, and Bardem again creates a great screen villain. Overall, it didn't beat out Casino Royale for me though. I wanna see Total Recall, Dredd, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, The Hunger Games, The Grey, Brave, Ghost Rider, Chimpanzee, Rock of Ages, Sinister, Paranormal Activity 4, Playing for Keeps, The Hobbit, & Les Mis. I'm a bit surprised you've missed some of those on that list, Cathy. And thanks for reminding me about that chimp documentary. I remember seeing the trailer for it a while back, but it fell off my radar. Must check Netflix. Oh, and just buy The Grey. Seriously, it's that good, and it was $8 on amazon for Black Friday.

Keth Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Chimpanzee is cool. It deserves a bluray watch at least, but I still think Earth is the best out of those Disney nature movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Haku is a dick for telling you to go BUY The Grey. Seriously. Take a poll and tally up how many people were crushingly disappointed by that movie. I hope you don't want to see it based on any expectations built around the trailer. It's not bad, but it's nothing I would ever dedicate valuable shelf space to. Chimpanzee suffers from Death by Narration. I was 20 minutes in and it suddenly clicked "Is this...is this fucking Tim Allen? Jesus christ..." It's in line with other Disney single animal nature docs - very pretty to look at, great HD shots, with an artificial "plot" shoehorned in that's designed to manipulate your emotions. I'd love to see all the footage of head biting and brutal rape that they had to edit out so they could show the few minutes that chimps spent together being nice over the course of several months.

sinestetici Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I am really looking forward to seeing "Life of Pi", as the book is in my top 5. Plus, Ang Lee is a pretty great director, and always treats source material with dignity. I'm going to see it tomorrow, so I'll report back how it is Paranormal Activity 4 was awful. I mean...not scary. It's like the directory tried to be funny. But it wasn't. It was pathetic and awful. Silent Hill 2 was also pretty bad, and I was disappointed about that. It's my fave game series, and the third game could have made a great movie if the people who made it would have stuck to the game, and not gone off on a tangent. Plus, I'm so mad that pyramid head was in either movie, as his role in the second game is so meaningful and terrifying. Cloud Atlas was brilliant. Go see it. All of you go and see it tomorrow if it's still in theaters near you. You won't be disappointed. Esp if you loved the book . I still want to see Wreck it Ralph and Rise of the Guardians. But I will probably wait to see those until they could out on video. I find myself morbidly curious about On the Road. I will avoid that one. I hate Kristin Stewart. She can't act her way out of a paper bag, and again - that book is in my top ten, and I don't want to see her anywhere near it. Ugh. Strangely though, I could have seen Robert Pattinson casted, though. But yea. Stewart was in another movie based on a favorite book of mine, called Into the Wild, and she almost ruined it for me. Luckily, her part was super small, and she wasn't super intrical to the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrizzle Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I think the only movie I've ever seen with her in it was Panic Room. I have no strong feelings on the matter. She seems like a dope, but I think that about everyone involved with that Twilight franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitant Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 NZA: I'm glad you downloaded Silent Hill. I paid to see it. Do yourself a favor and drink heavily before you watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 that bad, huh? i rather liked the first one. also, each PA film has been worse than the last, so i don't know how much longer i can keep doing these things anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I still think PA 2 was much better than 1, but yeah it is getting out of hand. It sucks to start off as a fan of something then.... not.. be. I'd say the same for Final Destination, but i don't care what other people say, those movies are fun as shit. PA could at least switch it up a bit. It's becoming more unrealistic, not because of its content, but I refuse to believe that all of these houses miraculously have security cameras installed. Just lazy movie making there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 If I gauged the greatness of a movie by its previous installments then Spidey & X 3 are the most amazing films ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
