In previous year’s “Best Of” movie lists, I’ve given detailed descriptions as to WHY I liked the movies I picked.
Not this year, but for a very good reason: I’m lazy.
Well, not lazy so much as sleepy. The comic lists took a lot out of me this year, and I also have a wife that I like to spend time with, and a job that requires me to show up to it once in a while. And so I present my “Best Movies of 2012″ list, with no explanations whatsoever. Enjoy.
