I cant say I really liked any movies this year. Harry Potter was good. And I liked Limitless, but it made me mad because its suppose to be about Drug Addiction. Anyone who has never dealt with drug addiction might not be able to see it, but anyone who has can definately see it thru and thru. BOOK SPOILER. And in the book, The Dark Fields that the movie is based on, the main character ends up dying poor, and alone in a dingy motel room. In the movie he's practically a God. Besides the loss of message, its still a decent watch.

[Emperor]

I kind of agree with you on both points. None of the movies I have rated will last the year I am betting. Also Limitless was going kind of strong before the end of the movie when the sun came out, everyone hugged and sang Kumbaya. Of course most audiences need a happy ending.

Well according to the National Board Of Review ....

 

We had the Gotham and New York Film Critics Awards earlier in the week, but the National Board of Review normally sets the pace for the awards season, and surprisingly, their best film turns out to be Scorsese's celebration of silent movies and the power of cinema itself, and I can't think of a more appropriate movie to top the Review's list. Some great chocies this year, including Tilda Swinton's performance in WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, which is seriously one of my favorite performances I've ever seen. She's stunningly great in it. Here are the winners:

 

Best Film: Hugo

Best Director: Martin Scorsese, Hugo

Best Actor: George Clooney, The Descendants

Best Actress: Tilda Swinton, We Need to Talk About Kevin

Best Supporting Actor: Christopher Plummer, Beginners

Best Supporting Actress: Shailene Woodley, The Descendants

Best Original Screenplay: Will Reiser, 50/50

Best Adapted Screenplay: Alexander Payne and Nat Faxon & Jim Rash

Best Animated Feature: Rango

Breakthrough Performance: Felicity Jones, Like Crazy

Breakthrough Performance: Rooney Mara, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Debut Director: J.C. Chandor, Margin Call

Best Ensemble: The Help

Spotlight Award: Michael Fassbender (A Dangerous Method, Jane Eyre, Shame, X-Men: First Class)

NBR Freedom of Expression: Crime After Crime

NBR Freedom of Expression: Pariah

Best Foreign Language Film: A Separation

Best Documentary: Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory

Special Achievement in Filmmaking: The Harry Potter Franchise - A Distinguished Translation from Book to Film

I'm very happy to see DRIVE recognized. That's probably going to wind up at least in my top three of the year. 13 ASSASSINS and ELITE SQUAD are tremendous as well. And I think it's been an outstanding year for film in general anyway.

Midnight in Paris introduced a slew of interesting characters and a very promising plot, but Allen didn't go anywhere with any of them. Disappointing considering what it could have been, but still pretty good.
