Juan’s Top 25 of 2012
It’s about that time for me to announce my top films of 2012 and twenty-five films have been picked as the top of the crop.
Kick-Ass 2 Trailer
The costumed high-school hero Kick-Ass joins with a group of normal citizens who have been inspired to fight crime in costume. Meanwhile, the Red Mist plots an act of revenge that will affect everyone Kick-Ass knows.
Lore (2012)
Lore dives into the coming of age of a young woman in war-torn Germany, fighting to survive and keep her siblings safe from the horrors and death that surrounds them.
Utopia (UK Show)
Channel 4’s intense thriller brings whiplash twists, dynamic characters, a distinctive score, and some of the most breathtaking images produced for television this year.
Antiviral (Canadian Film)
Brandon Cronenberg follows in his father’s footsteps with an impressive body horror/thriller.
Zero Dark Thirty
Zero Dark Thirty is a well-made effort from Bigelow that lets down some strong actors thanks to Mark Boal’s script that lacks any real semblance of solid character development.
Death and the Maiden
Polanski’s play adaptation is a tense and well-acted film where the lines between guilt and innocence are blurred beyond belief.
Missing (1982)
Costa-Gavras presents a harrowing look at the events of the military coup in Chile, grounded in an American journalist who goes missing.
In the Cut
Jane Campion’s erotic thriller proves to be quite the slog regardless of a plenty interesting against-type performance from Meg Ryan.
