50 Best Movies of 2012 according to Total Film

Since the award-giving period is in full bloom and the end of the year is coming rather rapidly, the season of wrapping up 2012 has begun. Usually, it takes place in the form of top 10s, 50s, 100s and is a curious game of every respectable and less respectable newspaper, magazine of TV programme. Since Total Film is one of my favorite movie magazines, I decided to follow their Top 50, choosing the films we like both as much. Without giving the exact place, on which a movie is located. For the whole ranking made by Total Film go here, you won't be disappointed!

Martin McDonagh at his best, with star cast and a lovely plot.

"Moonrise Kingdom" - all the Anderson's imaginary worlds

Can't hide it, I'm a huge fan of Wes Anderson's movies. If I were to pick my favorite so far, the choice would have to be between "The Royal Tenenbaums," "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," "The Darjeeling Limited, " "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and the latest gem - "Moonrise Kingdom," which means almost all of his movies. "Moonrise Kingdom" really has it all - great cast, lovely atmosphere, set design, script, music, and I bet it was all supervised personally by Fantastic Mr. Anderson himself. Even if one doesn't "feel" his vibe or sense of humor, it's worth seeing, just for Edward Norton's khaki scout shorts, Frances McDormand's loudspeaker, Bruce Willis' glasses, Tilda Swinton's hat, and the two main protagonists, those kids really have their grand debut on the big screen! For me "Moonrise Kingdom" is like Bonnie and Clyde, James Dean and Holden Caulfield were all back and well and this could only happen in a Wes Anderson movie. Highly recommended!
