    Good & Would Watch Again:
    5 Year Engagement
    Moonrise Kingdom

    Good, but once was enough:
    Lincoln
    Dark Knight Rises
    Django
    Skyfall

    Disappointment:
    Looper - Started off as a great action/crime movie, but once they got on that farm it took too heavy of a sci-fi turn.

    Wanted To See But Never Got Around To It:
    Bernie
    Jeff Who Lives At home
    The Master
    Beasts Of The Southern Wild

    I didn't get to see many, but Moonrise Kingdom was a great film (one of the best I've seen in a long time), The Dark Knight Rises was the only Nolan/Bale Batman that I liked (and I like it very much), and The Avengers was fun.

    To Rome With Love was decent enough, probably better than most of the crap playing at the multiplexes, but Woody Allen has the misfortune of being judged against his previous work, and in that respect, this one was a stinker.

    I will definitely need to buy when it's released.

    did anybody see killing them softly? we were going to double dip it on christmas, but it was pulled just before then.

    i thought it looked good, but it was given mediocre reviews.
