1. Seven Psychopaths
I was surprised this was my best film of the year. I thought it was going to be good, but never expected to be blown away by the great story, top acting performances, writing and humour.
2. Skyfall
One of the best Bonds of all time and easily Daniel Craig's best Bond film. I enjoyed this so much I had to see it twice. It was also a great goodbye to the legendary Judi Dench as M.
3. Moonrise Kingdom
An all star cast in this unusually brilliant film. There was great acting from the children and the film was hilarious from the off. A film that had the imagination, originality and great writing to be up there with the best of the year.
4. The Dark Knight Rises
A great end to a fantastic Batman trilogy. Probably not as good as The Dark Knight, but still a brilliant film, with great music and an ending to die for.
5. Looper
Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt perform at their very best in an action packed futuristic thriller filled with twist, turns and some of the best action scenes of 2012.
6. The Descendant
A well written and solid film with nothing really wrong with it. Funny, emotional and enjoyable.
7. The Artist
A favourite for the critics and it raked in the Oscars. An original and well made film for the 21st century.
8. Lawless
A great film based on a true story, filled with action, gore and well placed comedy.
9. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
A wonderfully written film with a lot of humour and great acting from some of British acting's ageing elite.
10. Killing Them Softly
Superb acting from Brad Pitt and Richard Jenkins in a cool and dark thriller.
Best Performances
Judi Dench - Skyfall/The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Javier Bardem - Skyfall
Matthew McConaughey - Killer Joe
Jean Dujardin - The Artist
Brad Pitt - Killing Them Softly
Bruce Willis - Looper/Moonrise Kingdom
Worst films
1. War Horse
A ridiculous farce, where a young man loves a horse more than his friends and family.
2. Dark Shadows
Bitterly disappointing and curiously boring. Even Johnny Depp struggled through this one.
3. Here Comes The Boom
Generic with not one original idea to be found in this unimaginative attempt at a story.
4. Expendables 2
Unsurprisingly one of the poorest films of 2012, with laughably poor acting and an obvious storyline.
5. Life Of Pi
Magnificent special effects, but corny, critically overrated and lacking characters to connect to.
Worst Performances
Sylvester Stallone - Expendables 2
Rebecca Hall - Lay The Favourite
Maggie Grace - Taken 2
