Skyfall: The best Bond Film ever, but more importantly, the hottest Bond Girl ever.
The Other Dream Team: A fantastic documentary from Sundance about the 1992 Lithuanian national basketball team, a masterful tale of history and sport.
Wreck-It Ralph: A treat for gamers and geeks and, in my humble opinion, one of the best Disney films ever made.
Celeste and Jesse Forever: A film written by Rashida Jones that follows her divorce and fall-out with Andy Samberg’s character. She is a tour de force in this role, and the film rivals 500 Days of Summer in indie-romantic effect.
The Master: A film by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will be Blood) that is loosely based on Scientology. Joaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman are incredible and both Oscar contenders, but the film itself is just a little bit over my head.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower: The book is one of my favorites, and this film is one of the best book adaptations I have ever seen. Full of life and energy, mostly thanks to the endearing performances by Emma Watson and Ezra Miller.
Teddy Bear: Another surprise from Sundance, a Danish film about a shy bodybuilder who finds love in Thailand. A moving picture of love and compassion.
Life of Pi: Another great book adaptation, possibly even better than the book. Ang Lee uses the magical realism of the tale to really tout his film-making ability, to awe-inspiring effect.
Cloud Atlas: After reading the novel, I am even more impressed by the incredible craftsmanship and direction of the Wachowski Brothers. A real cinematic experience.
Silver Linings Playbook: This almost made the top 10 but I watched it a bit too recently. Career performances from Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, a difficult thematic subject converted into a heart-warming experience.
