2012 was a weird year for film. That isn't to say there weren't some great ones, but even some of the greats were a little odd.

Sure, there's a lot going on with the 85th Academy Awards that a number of folks won't care about. Not everyone's a cinephile, after all, but it's still pretty exciting to see Wreck-It Ralph, Brave, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and Django Unchained get nods.
