Films of 2012

#7 - 50/50 - Marginally a comedy, there were some laugh lines, but not all that many.  There was something that didn't quite ring true with the story.  Which was a shame, I probably should have liked it.  It's set in the mythical city of Seacouver or Vanattle, pretty much the same place where the made the US version of the killing.   I had the same reaction I have when US TV shows do their "London" episode which usually involves the same degree of geographic mangling.  There's an early matt shot of the space needle on a street which is recognisably not Seattle.  Watch if you've nothing else to do

#8 - Real Steel - ROCKY! With ROBOTS!  There's not a lot more I can say about it than that.  The plot is pretty much the same, the ending is the same.  But still.  Rocky!  With Robots!  It's nicely made fluff and I enjoyed it rather a lot.

#9 - Final Destination V - so having not watched 2,3 or 4, this was more fluff, except with death.  We actually laughed at this one more than we did at 50/50 - which might say more about me than the movie.  We also took to drinking a shot of tequila when somebody died.  I will admit that I worked out the ending... which I won't spoil.  If you want a deeply silly horror film which was obviously made in 3D, this one fits the bill.  I recommend drinking though.
