2012 Movies: #41, 40, 39, 38, 37, 36 & 35

Ref: Mulhern

#41: Brave
While this was a cute film overall (and the animated short was, as Mulhern indicated, quite splendid), it doesn't hold a candle to my favorite animated film of recent years, How to Train Your Dragon.

#40: Voyage to the Moon (restored)
This documentary and restored short film offered an intriguing look into the early days of motion pictures.

#39: Pitch Perfect
An enjoyable, lighthearted film that prompts singing along and holds up to repeated viewing, despite an entirely unnecessary gross-out plot element.

#38: Prometheus
The preview looked too scary, so I didn't see it.

#37: Ruby Sparks
Part indie fantasy, part commentary on how finding the perfect partner isn't always what it's cracked up to be, the film goes a little dark but is ultimately pleasantly quirky.

#36: Last Day at Lambeau
A fan-centric look at the drama surrounding the last playing years of the quarterback that everyone loves to hate (or hates to love).

#35: Only the Young
While not offering sweeping social generalizations, this documentary shared an insightful look into the lives of its three main characters as they come of age during the Great Recession.
