My Favorite Movies and TV Series in 2012

Click this button to see my other top-5 list

As I have said before in my top-5 books of 2012, the year is almost over and it’s the right time to share my favorite of 2012. I have done top-5 books few days ago…time for the movies now

I didn’t watch a lot of movie released in 2012 because I wasn’t that interested…therefore, this list consists of movies I WATCHED in 2012 without caring for its released year. There are only 2 movies released in 2012, the rest are of years far behind 2012.

First of all, here are all the movies I have seen in 2012 (excluding re-watched):

Movies I have seen and reviewed: Lock, Stock and Two smoking Barrels Burke and Hare Carrie The Woman in Black Stuart: A Life Backwards How To Train Your Dragon  I Bought a Zoo The Prestige Thor The Dark Knight Rises Being John Malkovich Fish Story Red Lights The Machinist Insidious The Grey Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy War Horse Starter for 10 Billy Elliot Submarine The Decoy Bride Once, Little Shop of Horror, & Beloved. The Hobbit

Movies I didn’t review: The Art of Getting By Good Haywire Firewall Son of Rambow World Cinema Series which I hope will be held again next year: Låt den rätte komma in – Let The Right One In (Sweden) 十三人の刺客 – 13 Assassins (Japan) Amazing Grace  (England) The Wind That Shakes The Barley & Perrier’s Bounty (Ireland) The Raid : Redemption (Indonesia) Prometheus (US) Pintu Terlarang (Indonesia) Napola – Elite für den Führer (Germany)

I can’t pick 5 movies because I am really pleased with most of the movies I watched throughout 2012…I like them a lot and decided to make a top-10 list with no particular order. The number you see in front of the movie title is merely the order of which I saw first.

Monday Movies: Fish Story, Being John Malkovich and The Dark Knight Rises

I wish I have time to write one review per movie for these next 3 movies…but lately I have so much to share and I think putting 3 movies in one post in a better option

I watched these 3 movies somewhere this month. The first two movies are quite odd but I really like it, the last one is the movie a lot of people been talking about.

Apart from these three, I also watch Son of Rambow in TV…it was a fun children film and I love their accent. I rewatched Sunshine, it was my fourth time viewing and instead of making me bored it made me like it more, I am thinking of upgrading my rating on the movie. I also rewatched Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz because I wanted to write about The Ice Cream and Blood Trilogy (soon).

This week, I am not planning to watch any movie because I have just received Doctor Who 2006 and 2007. I am planning to finish the entire episode before seeing other movie. I really like this series and David Tenant is so cute. Review will be written for each series. Plus…the Olympic has started and I will be busy watching the games

Now…let’s start the review.

Fish story (2009)

Staring: Gaku Hamada, Atsushi Itô, Mirai Moriyama, Dakaku Hama, Tabe Mikako, Kora Kengo, Omori Nao

Rating:

I first heard about Fish Story from Priska @ Purisika’s Random Review. She gave the movie high rating and it has one of my favorite Japanese actors, Mirai Moriyama. The story intrigued me. I couldn’t find its DVD (no surprise there) so I downloaded the movie (sorry but I have no other choice). When I finished watching it, I was left speechless…it was an amazing domino effect movie.
