You guys really need to work on NOT placing pictures over the text. Formatting issues?

A shitty list, though that's no surprise coming from Gabe.

Thanks for the sermon in your TREE OF LIFE write-up. Now I don't have to go to Sunday mass.

Nice list Gabe. Big love for Melancholia, Bellflower, Certified Copy. Still haven't see 'Kevin' as it's yet to be released in Portland. But I'm dying to catch it.

Gotta say it, though. I completely disagree with you on "Drive," "Miss Bala," "I Saw the Devil" and "Martha Marcy May Marlene." "Sleeping Beauty" was a piece of shit.

âWarriorâ has instantly become one of the all-time great sports movies? Yeah, that's why it came and went and no one saw it.

I disagree with about 75-80% of what I just read, but I still really enjoyed reading it.

Jessica Chastain and Toby Jones had twelve movies between them, not fourteen. Jessica: Tree of Life, The Help, The Debt, Wilde Salome, Take Shelter, Texas Killing Fields, and Coriolanus. That's seven films. Toby: The Rite, Your Highness, Captain America, TTSS, and Tintin. That's five. 5 + 7 = 12. Not 14. Jesus Christ, y'all need FACT CHECKERS.

Man, what a bunch of fucking assholes in the comments section.

This is well written, and Gabe's taste comes the closest by far to my own of anyone who writes for this site, so it's nice to see someone out there who feels the same way about cinema.
You're cool in my book, and nice list.

Does anyone know how to sneak movies into the Essex County prison? Preferably Powder, Clown House or the last Twilight movie.

cant say i agree with everything here. Lots i haven't seen yet.
However this comment section is a little harsh (funny though). you guys need to stop being so serious

Very eclectic mix of films, while some good choices, none "truly" made a splash this year. I, like the other poster, am surprised to not see 'Another Earth' on here.

great stuff. although, i think 'my week with marilyn' was quite good, but agree 100% on 'the iron lady.' unrelated, i also thought this was an incredible year for lead female performances (young adult, melancholia, gwtdt.)

Dear Gabe!
How dare you have different tastes and opinions than myself!

Sincerely,
The all knowing being of perfect taste!

Thank you for your comments on "The Tree Of Life". It's not often that a Film can move you to the core of your being like "The Tree Of Life" did to me. I was stunned at how much emotion it drew from me and how suddenly that emotion was drawn.

Yay for The Mill and the Cross and The Tree of Life! Boo for Warrior and Melancholia!

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how many complete douche bags there are on the Internet. Half you people are a strong argument for censorship on the web, seriously take a look in the mirror and disconnect your broadband for a while. Try a support group.

Nice read Gabe, you obviously hit a few nerves – some of these fell off my radar this year for 'life stuff' like you described, but your write-up has put them firmly back on.

i just think here this blog sounds kinda bit pathetic. at least the list here is from what a subjective perspective.
