My Most Anticipated Films Of 2013

10) Oz: The Great and Powerful
Directed By: Sam Raimi
Starring: James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams & Rachel Weisz

Why I'm Excited: After the Spider-Man trilogy, Raimi will get the benefit of the doubt until he's proves me wrong otherwise. Despite the word "Disney" slapped on to this film, despite the fact that this looks like Alice In Wonderland 2, and despite the fact that The Wizard Of Oz was really just Dorothy's dream and thus it is impossible to have a sequel, it's still Sam Raimi's vision which means it's bound to be excellent.

9) The Hunger Game: Catching Fire
Directed By: Francis Lawrence
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks & Philip Seymour Hoffman

Why I'm Excited: I really liked The Hunger Games book and movie. While the movie was unfortunately less violent than the book to earn a PG-13 rating, it was still enjoyable nonetheless. PLUS, the sequel adds Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman to the mix and an amazing actress that I really enjoy and that you've never heard of: Jena Malone.

8) Anchorman: The Legend Continues

Directed By: Adam McKay

Starring: Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, & David Koechner

Why I'm Excited: 1) Adam McKay is awesome. 2) Will Ferrell is awesome. 3) Anchorman is fucking awesome. Good enough reasons for you?

7) This Is The End

Directed By: Seth Rogan & Evan Goldberg

Starring: Seth Rogan, James Franco, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson & everyone else associated with Judd Apatow

Why I'm Excited: While Goldberg and Rogan scripts have been more Green Hornet than Superbad recently, This Is The End seems like the great comedy writing duo finally found their mojo again. Plus, any chance these amazing comedic actors can get in a room and just riff and just try and make each other laugh seems like it will be a good time enjoyed by all.

6) Kick Ass 2: Balls To The Wall
Directed By: Jeff Wadlow
Starring: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, & Jim Carrey

Why I'm Excited: THREE actors who all have three names in their name? It seems like the perfect trifecta! I love the original Kick Ass when it first came out. I'm a sucker for both superhero flicks and Chloe Moretz so bring on the sequel! Also, any chance you can see Jim Carrey dressed up like THIS, the film's viewing is a must.

5) Star Trek: Into Darkness
Directed By: J.J. Abrams
Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, & Benedict Cumberbatch

Why I'm Excited: 1) I really enjoyed the first Star Trek a lot, 2) J.J. Abrams is a pretty darn good director, and 3) I've recently gotten into Sherlock so now I enjoy Benedict Cumberbatch. BTW, we all know Cumberbatch is playing Khan. There's no need for the studio to treat us all like fools. Remember when we all thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was Robin in The Dark Knight Rises from the get-go and then we saw the film and we were proven right? Yeah, same goes for BC except we we'll be proven correct from the onset of the film.

4) Sin City: A Dame To Kill For
Directed By: Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller
Starring: Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, & Dennis Haysbert

Why I'm Excited: Because the first Sin City was mind blowing and fucking amazing. The characters are so rich and the film is so stylized that I just want to see what adventures these characters are up to now. A sequel has been rumored for a LONG time, but with an official October 4, 2013 release date, we finally all seem to be getting what we wished for.

3) Iron Man 3
Directed By: Shane Black
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, & Ben Kinglsey

Why I'm Excited: Since The Dark Knight, our superhero movies need to be Nolan-ized. There needs to be grittiness and vulnerability and actual, three dimensional characters. We got that in the original Iron Man. We did not get that in the crappy sequel. It looks like we get it again in Iron Man 3 where we see the effects the events in The Avengers had on Tony Stark.

2) The Great Gatsby
Directed By: Baz Luhrmann
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, & Carey Mulligan

Why I'm Excited: I was excited to see this film when this trailer was first released in July of 2012 and it was supposed to be released opposite of Django Unchained this past Christmas. But the movie studio decided to act like a fucking moron and pushed back The Great Gatsby to July of 2013. While I'm not a big fan of Luhrmann's past work (Moulin Rogue, Romeo + Juliet), the man is great at making things extravagant and there's nothing more extravagant that the Roaring 20's in this classic F. Scott Fitzgerald tale.

1) Man Of Steel
Directed By: Zack Snyder
Starring: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, & Michael Shannon

Why I'm Excited: Do I really need to give you a reason why I'm excited about Man of Steel?! It's a superhero movie from the minds of the brilliant Christopher Nolan and the incredible Zack Snyder (Watchman, 300). Plus it's written by David S. Goyer who helped and influenced Nolan on The Dark Knight movies. You're super stoked to see this film as well. I'm even more excited that the underrated and excellent Michael Shannon gets to play the film's villain: General Zod.

Houston Texans def. San Francisco 49ers

At the very beginning of the season I predicted the Texans to come out of the AFC and the Bears to come out of the NFC (which at the time was a very homer pick. I fully cop to it). I also had the Texans winning it all and I'm not going to change my mind now and I am sticking to my original prediction. If I didn't make the preseason prediction I'd have the Patriots defeat the Texans in the Divisional Round and the Broncos during the Championship game and have the 49ers defeat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

The 2012 Jude Law Award

2004 was a monster year for Jude Law. He starred in or appeared in SIX films: Sky Captain and the World Of Tomorrow, I Heart Huckabees, Alfie, Closer, The Aviator, and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Plus, he was named People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" (which was a no brainer because that award always goes to the person who has the biggest and hottest year). 2004 was such a big year for Jude Law that at the 2004 Oscars, host Chris Rock joked, "Who is Jude Law? Why is he in every movie that I've seen for the past 4 years? He's in everything. Even in the movies he's not in, if you look at the credits he made cupcakes or something".

In the vein of Law's ginormous year, I want to honor him by crowning a Jude Law Award Winner every year to the actor or actress who had the biggest year. But before we crown a winner, let's look to see who the runners up were.

THE LIST OF TEN FIELD

Tom Hardy

NUMBER OF FILMS: 3

1) This Means War

2) The Dark Knight Rises

3) Lawless

Bruce Willis

NUMBER OF FILMS: 3

1) Moonrise Kingdom

2) The Expendables II

3) Looper

Jonah Hill

NUMBER OF FILMS: 3

1) 21 Jump Street

2) The Watch

3) Django Unchained

Kristen Stewart

NUMBER OF FILMS: 3

1) Snow White and the Hunstman

2) Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part II)

3) On The Road

Taylor Kitsch

NUMBER OF FILMS: 3

1) John Carter

2) Battleship

3) Savages

Jennifer Lawrence

NUMBER OF FILMS: 3

1) The Hunger Games

2) The House At The End Of The Street

3) Silver Linings Playbook

Liam Neeson

NUMBER OF FILMS: 4

1) The Grey

2) Wrath Of The Titans

3) Battleship

4) Taken 2

Anna Kendrick

NUMBER OF FILMS: 4

1) What To Expect When You're Expecting

2) ParaNorman

3) End Of Watch

4) Pitch Perfect

Elizabeth Banks

NUMBER OF FILMS: 5

1) Man On A Ledge

2) The Hunger Games

3) What To Expect When You're Expecting

4) People Like Us

5) Pitch Perfect

Bryan Cranston

NUMBER OF FILMS: 6

1) Red Tails

2) John Carter

3) Rock of Ages

4) Madagascar III: Europe's Most Wanted

5) Total Recall

6) Argo

THE RUNNER UP

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

NUMBER OF FILMS: 4

1) The Dark Knight Rises

2) Premium Rush

3) Looper

4) Lincoln

THE WINNER

Channing Tatum

NUMBER OF FILMS: 5

1) Haywire

2) The Vow

3) 21 Jump Street

4) Magic Mike

5) 10 Years

There have been actors who have starred in more films in 2012 than Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Channing Tatum, but there is no doubt that these two were the cream of the crop. No disrespect to Elizabeth Banks or Bryan Cranston, but they played bit parts in everything they were in and were never asked to carry a film in 2012. These two actors are in essentially everything so of course they are going to appear in the most films. However, nobody would proclaim that 2012 was the year of Elizabeth Bank or Bryan Cranston. This was the year of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Channing Tatum.

If JoGo and Tatum had made the same number of films then Gordon-Levitt would be my 2012 winner. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is my man-crush and I think he is the most talented young actor currently working in Hollywood. Gordon-Levitt starred in the best film (in my opinion) of 2012 [Looper], he stole every scene he was in in The Dark Knight Rises, he was great in the criminally underrated Premium Rush, and he was in America's consensus #1 film in 2012 [Lincoln].

However, 2012 was undoubtedly the year of Channing Tatum. He was the actor that received the more buzz, he was (rightfully) named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Of The Year, and his meteoric rise to prominence seems unprecedented. He starred in his classic, go-to Nicholas Sparks movie, he was allowed to be an action guy in Haywire, he managed to be funnier than Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street, and he managed to make ladies swoon in Magic Mike while also managed to make an incredibly dull movie somewhat entertaining through his charm, charisma, and general likeability. When people look back on 2012, they will undoubtedly say that this was the year of Channing Tatum. That 2012 Channing Tatum was easily like 2004's Jude Law.

10 Quick Reactions To The 2012 Pro Bowl Roster

1) I have to start with my Chicago Bears. There is only one Bear that legitimately deserved to go (and start) and that was Brandon Marshall. Luckily, the fans were smart enough to vote him in and he starts opposite of Megatron. The other Chicago Bear that would could have made a rational argument for going was Charles "Peanut" Tillman because the dude was a monster during the first half of the season. In fact, Bill Barnwell made the argument that Peanut was a Pro Bowler, so that selection was justified. However, the other three Chicago Bear selections were iffy at best, and this is coming from a die hard Chicago Bears fan. Tillman's teammate who plays opposite of him, Tim Jennings, was also selected making both Bears corners starters. I understand Jennings leads the NFL in interceptions but this looks more like the DeAngelo Hall effect + teams not wanting to throw to Tillman more than Jennings being a top 2 CB in the NFC. Defensive lineman Henry Melton is a starter. To be honest I have no idea if this is a good selection or not because who really cares about defensive tackles? Lastly, Julius Peppers is a Pro Bowler which is an absolute travesty. He has not shown up for virtually all season and the reason the Bears defense has struggled in the second half is because Peppers is essentially non existent.

2) The other NFC cornerback selected besides the two Chicago guys was Arizona's Patrick Peterson. This is a great selection as he was the best corner in the league according to Advanced NFL Stats. However, I can't believe no corner from Seattle was selected. I would take Seattle's Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner over both Bears corners and really over almost any corners in the league right now.

3) Speaking of Seattle, either the Seahawks or the 49ers have the best offensive line in football. This was even more evident as both teams each had two O-lineman selected to go to the Pro Bowl.

4) Arian Foster is NOT a Pro Bowler. I understand he leads all running backs in touchdowns but the man is barely running at four yards per carry. In fact, during the very, very end of Pro Bowl voting, Foster was UNDER 4.0 YPC. That's not just terrible, that's straight up atrocious. C.J. Spiller, who has been running at an incredible 6.5 YPC, absolutely deserved Foster's spot.

5) Matt Schaub was selected as the 3rd AFC quarterback behind Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. At first I was outraged by this because Schaub is good but he's not THAT good. But then I went through the other AFC teams and realized there really was no one better. The only other two selections I could think of that maybe deserved the last spot were Andrew Luck and Andy Dalton and neither made a convincing case that they DESERVED the spot over Schaub.

6) I hate Matt Ryan. He has done nothing personally to me and has never affected anything I have ever done in fantasy football but there's something about him that I don't like when he plays. He was selected as Aaron Rodgers first back up which would have been fine except Matt Ryan IS a Pro Bowler and Drew Brees is NOT. That's just ridiculous. Hell, I'd take Russell Wilson over Matt Ryan.

7) A terrible, 37 year old Jeff Saturday who controls a terrible offensive line in Green Bay is not a Pro Bowler. In fact, Saturday was playing so poorly that he was demoted in Week 16 for a rookie. This is another example of people not actually knowing how offensive lineman actually play and a player getting selected solely because people know his name.

8) Julio Jones and Victor Cruz were selected as the back up wide outs in the NFC. One of those spots should have been guaranteed to Vincent Jackson and the last one should have gone to either Roddy White, Dez Bryant, or Randall Cobb. My personal selection would be Cobb.

9) The wide receiver starters for the AFC are Andre Johnson and A.J. Green. No argument from me on that one. The backs ups are Reggie Wayne and Wes Welker. Wayne is easily a Pro Bowler but Welker has not been good this season- even despite the way he plays the position. He's had too many drops to really deserve a Pro Bowl berth this year and just does not look like the same guy we saw for the past few years. Welker's spot probably should have gone to either Demaryius Thomas or his teammate Eric Decker.

10) The Kansas City Chiefs have more Pro Bowlers (5) than wins (2). I understand each player is (probably) deserving per their position but really the selection should just be Jamaal Charles and nobody else. Hey, that's just like their real team!

Overall, this was a pretty good year for Pro Bowl selections. Not a whole lot of objections or things to get super worked up about. Great job fans and all those who select Pro Bowlers for not being completely and utterly incompetent like normal!

The Best Movies That I Saw In 2012 That You Have Never Heard Of

NOTE: As of the writing of this post, my #10, #9, #7, #4, and #1 selections are currently streaming on Netflix.

10) Bernie (2012)
STARS: 3 out of 4
Directed By: Richard Linklater
Starring: Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine, and Matthew McConaughey

Brief Description: Jack Black plays the titular character who is a mortician and a beloved member of a small Texas community. He is accused of killing his friend Marjorie (MacLaine) and the D.A. Danny Buck (McConaughey) has to find a way to prosecute Bernie even though everyone in the town is glad Marjorie is dead and is rooting for Bernie to be acquitted. Jack Black gives one of the best performances of 2012 in this indie black comedy.

9) Goon (2011)
STARS: 3 out of 4
Directed By: Michael Dowse
Starring: Seann William Scott, Liev Schreiber, and Jay Baruchel

Brief Description: Written by Jay Bauchel and Evan Goldberg, this comedy is easily the best hockey movie since Slap Shot. Seann William Scott plays Doug Glatt, a simple man with poor skating skills who ends up becoming a minor league hockey sensation because of his ability to be his team's enforcer on the ice. This movie is surprisingly sweet and it's great to see William Scott in a role that is the exact opposite of his American Pie's Stifler.

8) Moon (2009)
STARS: 3 out of 4
Directed By: Duncan Jones
Starring: Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey (voice)

Brief Description: Sam Rockwell is incredible as always as astronaut Sam Bell, a man alone on Earth's moon doing scientific tests. A mystery unfolds after Bell is in a lunar driving accident and Bell struggles to stay sane alone on the edge of the universe. Despite the limited storytelling, Rockwell given an amazing performance to keep you on the edge of your seat.

7) God Bless America (2011)
STARS: 3.5 out of 4
Directed By: Bobcat Goldthwait
Starring: Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr

Brief Description: You might not know this but Bobcat Goldthwait is an indie black comedy God with three movies under his belt before God Bless America. This story follows middle age man at the end of his wits Frank (Murray) and his platonic teenage female companion Roxy (Lynne Barr) as they go on a murder spree throughout America killing everyone who is deteriorating America's culture. Despite the great political stand this film takes, the film never loses sight that this is a character driven movie first and a statement movie second.

6) Celeste and Jesse Forever (2012)
STARS: 3.5 out of 4
Directed By: Lee Toland Krieger
Starring: Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, and Elijah Wood

Brief Description: Rashida Jones gives a wonderful performance in this film that she co-wrote. Celeste (Jones) attempts to get over the break-up of her best friends and soul mate Jesse (Samberg) as well as deal with the aftermath that Jesse is having a baby with another woman. There is not a lot of plot to this joyous character-driven film as Jones and the rest of this cast carry this enchanting movie.

5) Cube (1997)
STARS: 3.5 out of 4
Directed By: Vincenzo Natali
Starring: Maurice Dean Witt, David Hewlett, and Nicole de Boer

Brief Description: The Godfather to the spectacular original Saw, this film follows 6 people who are trapped in this gigantic cube. You don't know how they got in there but you don't care. All that matters is watching this group attempt to navigate themselves to safety.

4) Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2010)
STARS: 3.5 out of 4
Directed By: Eli Craig
Starring: Alan Tudyk, Tyler Labine, and Katrina Bowden

Brief Description: This campy satire is a fun and entertaining twist on the teen horror genre. A group of teens go into the woods on a camping trip when they stumble upon Tucker (Tudyk) and Dale (Labine). Like the genre dictates, the kids assume these two men are evil. However, the story is seen through Tucker and Dale's eyes and as the kids attempt to "retaliate" against Tucker and Dale, the kids start to accidentally kill themselves.

3) Leon: The Professional (1994)
STARS: 3.4 out of 4
Directed By: Luc Besson
Starring: Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, and Gary Oldman

Brief Description: Jean Reno plays a professional hitman named Leon who befriends a twelve year old girl played by Natalie Portman in her first ever movie role as they go against the film's bad guy portrayed by the amazing Gary Oldman. Action movies tend to hinge on how great the villain is and Gary Oldman who portrays Stansfield is the cream of the crop of movie villains in this character-driven popcorn flick.

2) Shame (2011)
STARS: 3.5 out of 4
Directed By: Steve McQueen
Starring: Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan

Brief Description: Michael Fassbender gives an Oscar-worthy performance as Brandon who is a sex addict. McQueen's poignant drama takes a realistic look at what it is like to truly be an addict. Brandon struggles with his addiction- especially when a close friend of his played by Carey Mulligan comes in to town to stay with Brandon for a few days. I can see how many people could avoid this movie as many things will stick with me for a long time- including one of the great sex scenes in movie history. However, it is because things will stick with me for a long time that I think this movie is great.

1) This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006)
STARS: 4 out of 4
Directed By: Kirby Dick

Brief Description: Documentarian Kirby Dick attempts to infiltrate and uncover the doings of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA)- the group that determines ratings for movies- to show the hypocrisy and the shady dealings of this unchecked organization. Dick also interviews filmmakers who have been unfairly treated by the MPAA. If you love films as much I do then you need to check out this amazing documentary which will open your eyes to an aspect of movies you had never even thought of before.
