Django Unchained (2012)
This was great great great great great up until the handshake scene. Then it just became a gratuitous grindhouse feature. It might have even been noble to leave it with the handshake, but I guess that wasn't in the cards.
First Tarantino movie I have no desire to ever see again.

Rise of the Guardians (2012)
Rated: PG - Runtime: 97 min
tesg's Rating: Two stars (out of four)
So basically Santa (complete with Russian accent, one of several accents I'm guessing is designed to pop the foreign box office), the Tooth Fairy, the ugliest Easter Bunny you'll ever see, and the Sandman are a guild of guardians who protect children from harm. Suddenly, the Man in the Moon appoints Jack Frost as a fifth guardian, which causes some questions. They all team up to take on Pitch Black, aka the Boogeyman, who wants to take away the Guardian powers through the power of disbelief.
Yeah.
Why'd I go to this?

The Twilight Saga - Breaking Dawn Part II (2012)
Rated: PG-13 - Runtime: 116 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
I watched the first Twilight movie (review quote: "had all the production values of Highlander: The Series") and none of the sequels. Until this one. Might as well see how it all ends.
So basically the leads got married and had a kid. There's some misunderstanding about the kid's origins which leads to a threat of war, which leads to a lot of brooding around the house, which leads to a war that doesn't actually happen, but we get to watch anyway because the movie would be too short otherwise. Right? Yes, that about sums it up.
Really beautiful opening and closing title sequences though. That's the whole reason to go.

Life of Pi (2012)
Rated: PG - Runtime: 125 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
This was my first experience with Dolby's new 'ATMOS' sound. Instead of 5.1 or 7.1 channels, Atmos could have up to 128 discreet audio tracks with up to 64 unique speaker feeds.
The most obvious think you'll notice is there's speakers hanging from the ceiling. A couple dozen in two rows in this room. The idea is to envelope you with a more natural sound. Initially, the sound of rain coming from directly overhead was a bit freaky.
The movie is beautifully shot and is pretty freaking great for a "stuck out in the middle of the ocean" plot. A solid three stars right up to the ending. But the end was infuriating. Like "I can't believe I just wasted two hours of my life for THAT" infuriating.

Lincoln (2012)
Rated: PG-13 - Runtime: 249 min
tesg's Rating: Three stars (out of four)
The movie isn't a historical piece about Lincoln's life, but about Lincoln working to get 13th Amendment through the House of Representatives. It should have ended that way too, but they tacked on something to acknowledge his assassination at the end. It didn't need to be there.
I'd love to think of Lincoln as he's portrayed in this film. A great storyteller and a great speaker who knew what to say to get the job done. I've long believed that's the key to a great President.

I really haven't found any of Daniel Craig's Bond movies all that interesting. I guess I'm not into the broody pouting Bond. This one is the best of his three, but aside from the awesome action sequence at the beginning, was largely boring and forgettable.
Not even throwing in the gimmicky references to classic Bond movies served to entertain me. Craig just isn't that Bond.

Rated: PG - Runtime: 101 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
I realize this is a kids movie, okay? I get that.
But considering it's marketing largely revolves around the idea of an 8-bit video game from the eighties, a game that would have been played by people now in their forties, did it have to be SUCH a kids movie? A LITTLE kids movie???
The movie actually takes place largely in a game called "Sugar Rush", a girly version of Mario Kart. It may set the record for product placement of food items in a single film. And Jane Lynch's character ends up married to Jack McBrayer's character at the end. Imagine the irony.
But the little kids in the audience (and there were a LOT of them) really seemed to enjoy it.

Flight (2012)
Rated: R - Runtime: 138 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
This is a movie about alcoholism and substance abuse. Sure there's a cool plane crash, but after that it's all Denzel Washington and his addict girlfriend moping and drinking and moping and drinking and moping and drinking and moping and drinking. We don't even get to experience the crash investigation...just lots of moping and drinking.
Watch the crash, then go home. You'll have a far higher opinion of the movie that way.

Girl 1: "And we can actually talk to each other!"

Yeah. Gonna be one of THOSE shows.
This is yet another one of those high school weirdos flicks. It has all the stereotypical characters one would expect in such. But the thing is, it's perfectly done. I fell for this hook, line, and sinker. I am absolutely in love with this movie.

WOW this movie takes a lot of energy to watch. It's all good, but it's not one to see sleepy. There's lots of plot loops (pun intended) to close, and they do a fine job.
Great ending. It's almost like they came up with a good idea for an ending and built a movie around it.

Seeing the cast list and the trailer made me think this was going to be a horrible disappointment. It isn't. It's funny, it's bloody, and it's offensive, using slang that's been all but eliminated from the English language. It opens and closes loose ends nicely.

There's plenty of reasons to see this, none bigger than Christopher Walken. He gets multiple monologues, a couple of his best ever. His scene in the waiting room with Woody Harrelson is just phenomenal.
Lots of people are comparing this to Tarantino's work. Said people need to educate themselves on the work of Sergio Leone.

This whole thing is Dax Shepard's baby. He wrote it, co-directed it, starred in it. The co-star is his fiancee, and a lot of the cars in it are from his personal collection.
The feel of it reminds me of "Go", though it's not as clever and not quite as fun. It's still a good time, despite the fact Tom Arnold is in it.

Trouble is, nothing is unexpected. There's nothing new to this and the whole thing feels tired.
Did you know that every car in the Philippines is a Toyota? Me neither.

To Rome With Love (2012)
Rated: R - Runtime: 111 min
tesg's Rating: Three stars (out of four)
Allen's series of films where he drops relationship stories in scenic European locales continues with Rome. This time, it's a parts-bin series of relationship stories...some related, some not...that mostly dabble in unexpected celebrity.
There's lots of trademark Woody Allen absurdity like we haven't seen in years. Allen himself takes on a role for the first time in his last few projects. Alec Baldwin is a highlight as a character that essentially plays the subconscious of Jesse Eisenberg's character, even though all the characters surrounding him know that he's there and interact with him. Roberto Benigni gets an awesome role as an average guy who suddenly finds himself inexplicably famous for no reason.
Your mileage may vary based on how much you like each story. They're all ideas that, on their own, couldn't be hashed out into a feature. But I personally dug them all.

Rated: PG13 - Runtime: 165 min
tesg's Rating: Two stars (out of four)
The last twenty minutes of this movie is pretty good. The problem is the two hours and twenty-five minutes prior to that. If you can overlook that, you'll probably enjoy this.
The dialogue is relatively simple compared to the previous two efforts. The villain, a big guy with an in-car drive-in speaker attached to his face, sounds like an amplified Jeffrey Lebowski. I kept expecting him to try and sell someone a Hyundai. Catwoman had almost no reason to exist in this movie. I saw the plot twist coming a mile away. And Batman's return after an eight-year hiatus...really didn't take much to accomplish, did it.
This is Spider-Man 3 bad. Really.

They spoofed "Airplane".
Seriously.
AIRPLANE.
"Ted" is a funnier than average mediocre romantic comedy that runs about ten minutes too long and would have been better without the sub-plot and if Wahlberg's character just said "Oh well!" when he got dumped and moved back in with Ted and they partied happily ever after. Or if Flash stole Ted's girlfriend and they went in a whole weird direction with that.
I'd sort of wondered if women would even go to this, but the women in this audience were raving about it afterward in the corridor.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
Rated: PG13 - Runtime: 136 min
tesg's Rating: Two and one half stars (out of four)
First off, this thing is full of plot holes. They make a point of pointing out how secure Oscorp is in the beginning, yet they have a high school intern with full access to everything including the secret codes to evacuate the facility. Not to mention Parker appears to be able to parade in and out at will after sneaking in the first time.
That's just the start, though. It IS overall worth seeing and I suspect teens will be far more into this than I was, but the villain isn't all that interesting and a lot of regular Spider-Man characters are outright missing.
Not as good as the first two Spider-Man movies. Better than the third. Then again, three quarters of all movies ever made in the history of the world are better than Spider-Man 3.
Apparently, this was rebooted just so Sony could keep its rights to the franchise locked out of Disney's hands.
Mission accomplished, I guess.

Wes Anderson has a flair for imagery and dialogue, but this one is almost more cartoonish than "Fantastic Mr Fox". There's loads of interesting characters, as you might expect with a name cast this expansive, but none of them are explored much save for the two kids.
And yet it was still pretty freaking great.

It's no Bram Stoker's Dracula, but I'd watch this again before any "Twilight" movie.

Pretty odd of Hollywood to release a second sequel a full ten years after the last sequel. You'd think they'd go with a reboot, since that seems to be the hip thing to do these days.
The third MIB is far better than the second MIB, and has quite a different tone from either of the previous outings. Kind of darker. Less humor. More personal. It's a solid two and one half star effort until the end, when suddenly this becomes a three star movie.

I was wrong about that.
"The Avengers" is as good as any of the recent Marvel efforts that led up to this one, but even with Joss Whedon's stamp, I didn't think it was really any better. I'd probably watch "Thor" or "Captain America: The First Avenger" again over this. But it WAS still good.
Marvel fans, of course, think this is the greatest movie ever made.
