Greetings,
As a preparation for my reviews of the movies of 2012 that I did saw, I decided to how I go see movies:
First of I don't see that many movies, by the end of 2012 I only saw two movies, that's right two which is a stark contrast to internet critics like Brad Jones, Noah Antwiler, Doug Walker and Mathew Buck who see several movies a year. I'm not holding that against them, in fact I'm rather jealous of the amount of movies they see every year. But the thing is that I'm only seeing the movies that I want to see that is that I go and see movies that I think are going to be good, because I just want to see a good flick. This means that I'm most likely going to see the biggest blockbusters of the year. Not to mention I just don't have time to see every movie that comes out of theatres every year and going to see movies is rather expensive. So I've decided to make a list of some of the more popular movies of 2012 on which you might want to hear my opinion, it's rather late but hey! There's always Blu-ray:s, DVD:s and internet so you can see them any time you want to.
1. Marvel's The Avengers, I didn't see because I don't care about american superheroes and I didn't see Captain America, Iron man movies, the Incredible Hulk or Thor either simply because I just didn't care.
2. The Dark Knight Rises, I didn't see because I was in Estonia at the time and I've heard nothing than bad about it ever since. I will mostly likely watch it at some point simply, because it has the goddamn Batman in it.
3. The Hunger Games, I didn't see because I didn't know about it. Seriously I've completely missed the entire Hunger Games series. I thought about reading the books, but in the back cover there was a quote from Stephanie Meyer, yes from that woman! Saying that Hunger Games is really, really great! Needles to say I left the book alone and ran away. I will most likely see it just to see what all the fuss was about.
4. Skyfall, I didn't see because I don't care about James Bond. I've never have and I never will. I haven't seen any of the Bond movies either simply because I just don't care and I'm not planning on seeing neither The Skyfall or the other Bond movies.
5. The Twilight saga Breaking Dawn Part 2, I didn't see because like I said earlier I don't like the works of Stephanie Meyer. But I was planning on seeing it because of all the stuff I've heard about and I really really wanted to see it, but sadly I just couldn't find time to see it. I might just see it just for the curiosity.
6. The Amazing Spider-Man, I didn't see because I never cared for Spider-Man and as a matter of fact I hate it. I hate the concept. Why? Because it's simply too ridiculous and silly to me, it's basically the same thing as with the X-men. I did read a couple of Spider-Man comics when I was younger and I really just didn't care for them, I also did watch the cartoon when I was a kid and I tried to watch it again, when I was a bit older and back when they did a re-run of it and I just rolled my eyes and changed the channel. Sam Raimi flicks I thought that they were horrible! All of them and I was just about 14 when I first saw them, so yeah. Anyways if you like Spider-Man, more power to you and I'll admit there are some stories that must be somewhat good, for instance I've heard a lot about the "One more day"-series.
7. Brave, I didn't see because I missed it. Seriously I've heard nothing about it when it came out and I've only recently heard about it that - it's - well - it's Brave! The end. I will see it at some point, but don't expect me to see it anytime soon because I just don't care about it. But I will probably see it, because it has red haired women in it and I like red haired women.
Yeah I'm so going to Hell.
8. Ted, I didn't see because I missed it too. Am I planning on seeing it? Nope! Why? Because it's made by Seth MacFarlane most famous for such TV-series as "American Dad" and "Family Guy" and unfortunately I'm part of that demografic, who just hate those show's. I used to like them when I was a kid and my sister still does but as I grew up I noticed that they both have only a couple of jokes which they keep recycling 'till the end of time. Not to mention to me both the "American Dad" and "Family Guy" are just so unpleasant and I keep getting the Shrek-vibes from them, so yeah. But as I just mentioned Shrek I'm going to say that I think that those movies are OK.
As I'm reading these from Boxofficemojo.com I've just gotten to Madagascar 3 which I didn't see because I missed it too and I'm not planning on seeing it. But because there is so many movies out there, I'm just going to list now the more popular movies of 2012 and say did I see them or not.
Wreck-it-Ralph, I didn't see
MIB 3, I didn't see
Lincoln, I didn't see
Django Unchained, I didn't see
Prometheus, I didn't see.
Argo, I didn't see.
Life of Pi, I didn't see.
Flight, I didn't see.
The Expendables 2, I didn't see as I didn't see The first Expendables.
Looper, I didn't see.
The Dictator I didn't see, because I had no time. I did like the Borat though.
Total Recall (2012), I didn't see, because at the time I was in Estonia.
ParaNorman just came in theathers here in Finland, haven't seen it and I don't think that I will.
Paranormal Activity 4, I didn't see because I just don't care about Paranormal franchise.
The Cabin in the Woods, I didn't see because I've just missed it. Am I planning to? Maybe.
Frankenweenie, just came in to theathers here in Finland and I'm not planning on seeing it.
Nightmare-Painajainen merellä. If you haven't heard about this one. I don't blame you. It's a Finnish movie based upon a popular Finnish soap opera and I've missed it, because I didn't have time, but I'm planning to because someway, somehow they turned Nightmare- Painjainen merellä into a horror movie and I've have to see how they did it.
So that's all for now, next time I'll be talking about the movies I did see, so 'till then Live Long and Prosper Asahamana is out *snap*
