The gang from The Cabin in the Woods
are curious to see who the winners are. |
The first 4 months of the year at your local cinema can be pretty sketchy. Some years are pretty solid & some are 2010, in which
How to Train Your Dragon, Shutter Island, &
Kick-Ass were the only legitimately good movies (unless of course you liked
Alice in Wonderland) over that 4 month span. This year however there's been a bevy of good movies. I've seen 12 films this year & not one of them has been bad*, though admittedly that doesn't mean they've all been good. In honor of this overly strong opening, before we all get swallowed up in summer blockbuster euphoria with
The Avengers opening tomorrow, I'm taking a look back & handing out some awards for the first third of the year.

This omits a drunken test screening of "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" at Crossroads. That movie is absolutely as bad as you think it is, despite Idris Elba's livening up the film whenever he's on screen.
