2012 Movies: #62, 61, 60, 59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54 & 53

Ref: Mulhern

This year's edition of reviewing Mulhern's movie reviews gives a new meaning to "under the wire." With cinema's big dance only a day away, let's see how much we can second-guess Mulhern in this year's new time-friendly format of single-sentence synopses.

And we're off...

#62: Dark Shadows
Other than quibbling that the film goes off the rails in the last half-hour, rather than after the first half-hour, I agree wholeheartedly with Mulhern.

#61: Savages
I would like my sister's Redbox rental fee back, please.

#60: Mama
Even creepy Mama - or the luminous Jessica Chastain in what previews showed me was a hideous wig - could not drag me to this movie.

#59: The Dictator
I would like my fiance's Redbox rental fee back, please.

#58: Project X
I watched Can't Hardly Wait again, instead.

#57: The Amazing Spider-Man
I liked this reboot more than Mulhern - who, I should point out, fast forwarded through the last 45 minutes watching random 15-second increments in an effort to return the film on time so really shouldn't be complaining that the ending falls flat - did.

#56: Safe House
I'd certainly feel safe with Ryan Reynolds around, although not if he were tasked with protecting me from the infinitely more wily Denzel.

#55: Liberal Arts
"Zibby, have... you met Ted?"

#54: American Reunion
I opted not to have a fourth (theatrically released) serving of pie.

#53: The Bourne Legacy
Jason Bourne is going to come after Mulhern for ranking his film series in the fifties - and if Matt Damon believes in Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz, then so do I.
