I really loved 2012 as an overall year for film. There were so many groundbreaking films in various genres, whether they were the biggest of blockbusters or the smallest of independent productions. Yet, they can’t all be gems. Every year has its stinkers and, while there were a limited amount of them, the ones that really stung hurt like hell.

With a romantic comedy, an action sequel, and an animated story, this weekend has something for everyone, although I’m not confident that all three movies are actually any good.
