Had fun reading it James and saved me to check some of the films featured there lol

How could you not like Bachelorette? It's one of my favorite comedies released in the past couple years and all the friends I went to see it with loved it as well. It's a very unique comedy with humor that can be appreciated by younger viewers and mature viewers. It also had a sweet side and some touching character moments.

I agree, I thought it was a pretty good film as well, I wonder if JB was just in a really bad mood that day, and no we are not trolling JB, to prove it, here's a positive review from Dustin Putman, someone who you mentioned talking to quite a bit back in the day: http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/b/12_bachelorette.htm

I also thought Battleship, Ghost Rider, and Cold Light Of Day were pretty fun. Cosmopolis on the other hand looks it could very well be the worst film of the year, that film should convince critics once and for all that Robert Pattison cannot act worth a damn! PA4 looks like shit as well, but I thought the first film sucked major ass and the sequels only got worse, so I've got no desire to torture myself a fourth time.

You could have thrown in "Men In Black III" for the bottom 10 since it got 1.5 stars, James.

Nice to see you're writing a Reelthoughts on Episode VII. You have plenty you can talk about like the rumors of the original cast making an appearance, Lawrence Kasdan coming back to write VIII and IX, directors who can possibly do the films justice, etc.

Is it safe to say that Nic Cage will appear on a Bottom 10 list every year until he retires?

Maybe he realized he was being too harsh on MIBIII.

I'm not sure about that. His review reads like the movie got what he felt it deserved.

Well i'm surprised he put To Rome With Love over it in the list as he sounded more negative towards MIB then he did towards Rome.

It was originally on the list, making an even 10. Then I decided it wasn't quite in the same category as the other 1.5-star films on the list and "elevated" it. It's still a 1.5-star film but not all 1.5-star films are created equal.

Haven't seen any of the films on this list. The one I haven't seen but wanted to was Cosmopolis since I liked the book and am a fan of Cronenberg. Luckily getting it from Netlfix will reduce the pain if it turns out to be that bad.

The rest I have no intention of seeing and had no intention of seeing even before the list since instinct told me they were all unadulterated shit.

So I guess you could consider "Men In Black III" to be a "dishonorable mention". I wouldn't mind seeing a list of some of the films that almost made the cut for the list (if any).

One can get a decent sense of the likely list of Dishonorable Mentions by sorting the movies Mr. Berardinelli has reviewed by star rating. On the Searches page, one can Search by Year, pick 2012 (or any year one is interested in), and click on Star Rating (Descending). One can see the 2012 list grouped in that order (from best to worst) at http://www.reelviews.net/fullsearchresu ... rchtype=14.

So Mr. Berardinelli could easily have made a Worst of 2012 list with 13 titles (one 0-star movie, four 1-star movies, and eight 1.5-star movies). He ended up selecting four of the eight 1.5-star movies to make his nine-title Turkeys list. If his Dishonorable Mentions list consisted of the other 1.5-star movies, it would include Lockout, Men in Black III, The Watch, and Hit & Run.

Incidentally, looking ahead to the end of the year, Mr. Berardinelli so far in 2012 has one 4-star film and thirteen 3.5-star films. So a Top Ten list would exclude at least four 3.5-star films and likely more as he reviews additional movies over the next month. Those four or more omitted 3.5-star films would be the most likely candidates for an Honorable Mentions list.

I'm predicting "The Hobbit" and "Django Unchained" will make the Top 10 list at the end of the year. Of course this is assuming both films live up to their respective hypes.

Ewwww I forgot Looper got a **** review

Yeah. Can it possibly be usurped as #1?

Obviously The Hobbit is in James' wheelhouse. I feel like Zero Dark Thirty or Les Miserables would be the only other remote possibilities to get the 4-star nod. We'll see.

It'll be an interesting end to the year as far whether anything can unseat Looper. That is of course, assuming JB doesn't pronounce any upcoming movies "The Best Movie of 2012" in his review of said movie, defusing all tension.

BTW, I'm going to launch a pre-emptive strike here and say that Les Miserables will absolutely destroy the field come Oscar time. All the elements are in place for Titanic-level domination. Check back with me in three months if you doubt this.

I wish you would've used out of ten rating system, I know almost none of the critics does that but it was a better measurement for how much you think the quality of the movies are overall.

He did in the early days...and he even divided into halves. Then it got too confusing and we have stars.

Darn straight it is about time for your Episode VII thoughts. I can't believe it took this long.
