Best Films of 2012: A Work in Progress
By: Sarah J. Bean
Not in my very few years of living on this earth have I seen a year that has produced so much terrible cinema.
Still, this list is attempting to look on the bright side of things.
Simply ranking what I have seen that I didn’t consider total garbage (yes you, Avengers). That means this list is enormously short and for that, I apologize.
Note: Pitch Perfect by Jason Moore is yet to be in the system but I would likely place it #4. Who would have thought?
Also, films that will be added and (possibly) ranked before the year’s end, along with some unnamed others:
Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Bernie
Cabin in the Woods
End of Watch
Frances Ha
Holy Motors
Jeff, Who Lives at Home
Magic Mike
Perks of Being a Wallflower
Robot and Frank
Safety Not Guaranteed…
Seven Psychopaths
Skyfall
Wreck-It Ralph
Anything not listed, I saw and decided was shit (poor Cosmopolis…).
