Note: Holy Motors is the best film I saw in December, but as most films in my top ten are from 2012, I listed them alphabetically for this month. This way, I don't give away the order of some films that will appear on my year-end list.
I can't wait to see Holy Motors! I wish I had more time in a day...I really need to see more films.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed some people actually saw 100 films last month for the December Challenge. There's no way I could do that!
DeleteCan't wait to hear your thoughts on Holy Motors! :)
I'm definitely going to see Holy Motors some time next week!
ReplyDeleteYay! Hope you like it! :)
DeleteI see you dug Alps. I wrote a fairly long mini-review of that, if you're interested:

Thanks for that, Chris. Glad you liked the film. It's one of 2012's best IMO.
DeleteYou are a prolific movie viewer! I'm glad you liked The Kid With the Bike so much -- I just put that at the top of my Netflix instant queue.
ReplyDeleteHaha, well, some people tried to watch 100 movies last month for the December Challenge. I couldn't get anywhere near that if I tried, though. ;)
DeleteYay! I love the Dardenne brothers' films, so I'm glad I finally caught up with (and loved) The Kid with a Bike and The Son.
Boy you are very prolific indeed. Curious to see Holy Motors when it's out on rental. Glad you like Headhunters too, I put that in my Top 10 Rentals.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if Holy Motors is your kind of film, but I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it.
DeleteI was surprised at how much I enjoyed Headhunters. It won't make my top 10, but I loved it regardless.
