A Collection of All My 2012 Movie Reviews! Nearly 100 Reviews and Tons of Special Features!
Happy New Years Eve, everyone! It has been a long, fruitful year for reviewing and discussing movies, and tomorrow, the cycle shall start anew.
I have spent a lot of time these past few weeks reminiscing on the year in film, with Top 10 Lists of all shapes and sizes, but before moving on to 2013, I wanted to publish one final retrospective – one that took an awful long time to put together but is, I hope, worth the effort.
I have compiled, in this post, the links to every single movie review I published in 2012, with their publication dates and original letter grades. In addition, many films were mentioned in other articles, or had other articles written about them, so I have linked to those as well when applicable.
This is my final, definitive guide to the movies of 2012, and I hope it serves as a nice resource for those looking to brush up on what they missed, or to simply look back on the many, many films released and reviewed this year.
The indexed list of reviews begins after the jump. Enjoy…
