    Match Cut's Top 10/Bottom 5 of 2012 Revealed!

    Starting with the worst....

    #5 - Chronicle



    Quote Quoting eternity
    That was a 75-minute facepalm.
    Quote Quoting Ezee E
    Ew, guys, there's way too many people to love this movie which I essentially found to be a live-action Rage comic.

    #4 - TED



    Quote Quoting TGM
    Oh wow, just, no. This movie was fucking horrible. Seth MacFarlane has truly fucking lost it.
    Quote Quoting Grouchy
    And what the hell else does the movie have to offer? The plot is standard romantic comedy bullshit, all things considered. The last third of the film basically just decides to take Ted seriously like he's E.T. or something and has... no laughs!

    #3 - JOHN CARTER



    Quote Quoting sycophant
    There were a few glimmers of liveliness and humor, but it's mostly as dull and dusty as the specatacularly boringly expensive spans of desert that frame every shot that isn't a made-for-TV closeup. Attack of the Clones 10-year anniversary edition.

    #2 - COSMOPOLIS



    Quote Quoting davidseven
    This was awful. Pattinson was utterly unconvincing, but I put a lot of that on Cronenberg's direction. It felt like an amateur production in every respect. Poorly lensed, written and acted. It becomes an absolute chore to sit through by the halfway point.
    Quote Quoting milky joe
    It's like Cronenberg took all the most ponderous (and pretentious out of context) lines out of Delillo's novel, forgetting the humor and pathos, and made a script out of them. Nay.

    Huh, I moderately to happily like both of these last two. The Disney film loses a lot because the narrative's been appropriated so much, and the deadpan irony of Cosmopolis worked for me. Not sure if I buy that that and Holy Motors are so intrinsically linked, but I laughed.

    Cosmopolis is fantastic, you guys. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought Chronicle reeked.

    THE WORST MOVIE OF THE YEAR



    Quote Quoting watashi
    This whole movie was pointless. What an awful final scene.
    Quote Quoting Kurosawa Fan
    This was a bloated, corny, convoluted mess.
    Quote Quoting Zac Efron
    It's beautiful but its a fucking mess. Ridley Scott, news at 11.

    Moonrise Kingdom was nominated for a bunch of Matchies wasn't it?
    Not just nominated, it won most of them, too.

    Wes Anderson is my favorite American filmmaker and I will not feel the least bit apologetic about that.

    You mean your favorite living American filmmaker, right? I like his movies as well, but I wouldn't put him in the same company as John Cassavetes, D.W. Griffith, Howard Hawks, Buster Keaton, Stanley Kubrick, Nicholas Ray, or Orson Welles (just to name a few of my favorites).
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain

    The (New) World
