Favorite and Least Favorite Movies Seen In 2012 (Video)

This is a collection, in no particular order, of this examiner's favorite and least favorite movies on DVD that were reviewed in 2012.

If you are looking for a number of the 'best' movies of the year, this isn't that list. Only movies that were released on DVD can be considered and most Oscar bait seems to hit theaters in the last quarter of a given year. Some of these releases came out years ago and I just caught up on them now. This was meant to reflect some of the DVDs that I happened to review in 2012 which made the biggest impression on me.

The favorites

'The Avengers'

'A Separation'

'Moonrise Kingdom'

'The Cabin in the Woods'

'The Artist'

'The Secret World of Arrietty'

'21 Jump Street'

'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'

'The Descendents'

'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol'

'Moneyball'

'Midnight In Paris'

'Drive'

'Super 8'

The least favorites

“The Galaxy Invader'

'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'

'Prometheus'

'Underworld: Awakening'

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon'

'Final Destination 5'

'Southland Tales'

'In The Name of The King: A Dungeon Siege Tale'

There were some theatrical releases that would have made one list or the other had they been released on DVD in time for this.

Oh well. That's what 2013 is for.
