MiniBlog - Movies of the year

Or should I say, the Top 5 movies I saw this year...in no particular order

"The Avengers" - Joss Whedon put together a fun and very entertaining film. Most people didn't think a superhero ensemble would ever work, but this movie proved them wrong.

"The Dark Knight Rises" - a great finish to an excellent trilogy for Christopher Nolan. Did it have some flaws? Sure it did, did it take away from a great story, hell no!

"Skyfall" - a fabulous Bond movie. It had a great villain and a story that takes you back to the early days of Bond.

"Argo" - another well directed movie from Ben Affleck. It was suspenseful with some levity as well. This was a very enjoyable film.

"Safety Not Guaranteed" - a much smaller film with a big heart. It's funny and engaging with a great performance by Aubrey Plaza.

I'm sure there are other great films released in 2012, but I likely haven't seen them yet. I still have a bunch to catch up on video.

What am I looking forward to in 2012?
"Iron Man 3"
"Star Trek Into Darkness"
"Man of Steel"
"Anchorman: The Legend Continues"

Amongst a few others as well... What about you?
