    Haven't seen much this year, but unfortunately I saw one of the biggest turkeys ever on Saturday - Cloud Atlas. massive budget, stellar cast, utterly dire, as if the directors wanted to achieve their fantasy of making six different films at the same time . Unless you are quite sure, avoid like the plague, it is three hours long, and you can't get those hours back.

    This year has been great for cinema - the box office both in the UK, the US and globally will be the biggest ever in one calendar year. Three or four amazing films, but also a pile of shite too.

    Favourite Movie: The Avengers
    The 'Gimme My Money Back' Award: Paranorman
    Most Over-hyped: John Carter
    Most Underrated: Argo
    The Brett Ratner Award For Averageness: Hunger Games
    Instant Oscar Contender (Performance or Film): Argo

    I love film but lack of money and a reliable babysitter means I (we) have only seen one film released at cinema this year - skyfall, and I would put that in the most overhyped category.

    Favourite Movie: Moonrise Kingdom
    The 'Gimme My Money Back' Award: ?
    Most Over-hyped: The Dark Knight Rises/The Avengers
    Most Underrated: ?
    The Brett Ratner Award For Averageness: The Grey
    Instant Oscar Contender (Performance or Film): Moonrise Kingdom (won't win anything but should do)

    Really looking forward to Django Unchained.
  • Favourite Movie: Skyfall

    Most Over-hyped: Avengers...Good but not 'amazing'

    That's interesting. I figured it's either going to be a powerhouse classic of epic proportions, or utter drivel! Guess it's the latter... So that's two good films out of six for the Wachowski brother... and that's not including V For Vendetta!!
