Flight (2012)
Flight serves as a great return to live-action filmmaking for Robert Zemeckis and it is recommendable thanks to Denzel Washington’s portrayal of a functioning alcoholic.
Silver Linings Playbook
While it’s inevitable to label Silver Linings Playbook as a rom-com film, it’s definately more than just a mere rom-com film.
Smashed (2012)
Mary Elizabeth Winstead deserves more than just critical acclaim: she should have been an Academy Award nominee by now thanks to Smashed.
Bernie (2011)
Bernie is not only a career highlight for Jack Black, but it also benefits from having great direction and screenwriting thanks to Richard Linklater, who successfully balances the mockumentary format, Bernie Tiede’s story and the black comedy elements with good results.
Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Trouble with the Curve marks Clint Eastwood’s return to acting in this baseball film that turns out to be more of a “father and daughter reconnect” type of film.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)

White Elephant (2012)
Elefante Blanco follows priests Julián, Nicolás and social worker Luciana work hard to provide help and social assistance in Villa Virgen, whose inhabitants are ignored by the government and currently engaged in an ongoing drug war.
Cosmopolis (2012)
All the good things present in Cosmopolis are negatively outweighed by its screenplay.
