10 Best Films of the Year In Brief

Rate this Entry
In alphabetical order.

Argo
A powerfully acted and intense historical thriller, Argo tells its tale with a sincerity lacking in many films of the genre.

The Avengers
Quick, funny, and action-packed, The Avengers is a self-aware anbd knowingly popcorn flick, propelled by its excellent special effects and charismatic leads.

Brave
A fresh, emotionally rich, and wonder-filled take on the fairy tale genre, Pixar takes an unfamiliar and classic genre and emerges with something that further demonstrates the studio's talent.

The Dark Knight Rises
Christopher Nolan continues to set the standard for superhero movies, with the closing chapter of his decidely realistic interpratation of titular character's story proving more than worthwile.

Django Unchained
Tarantino scores another hit with another ultraviolent and profanity-ridden tribute to pulp film. With powerful performances, top-notch writing, and delightfully twisted characters, Tarantino lives up to his acquired prestige.

Flight
Denzel Washington allows this moral-filled character study to soar to excellent heights, further enhanced by Zemericks' passionate direction.

The Grey
Surprisingly philosophical, The Grey is a frighteningly realist survival tale with an unusually well-developed cast of characters and intellectual depth.

Life of Pi
A visually marvelous film, Ang Lee crafts another masterpiece with this splendid and epic treasure of film.

Looper
A refreshingly mature neo-noir science fiction film with incredible perfomances, an astoundingly intelligent plot, and a landmark in science fiction

Paranorman
A gleefully funny and well-animated stop-motion horror-comedy that manages to appeal to both children and adults with its emotional strength and relatively sophisticated humor.
