Las mejores películas de 2012 para MTV

Sabemos que la MTV ha explotado el circo todo lo que ha podido. Siempre lo ha usado para los MTV Movie Awards y siempre se ha encargado de que Josh Horowitz fuera una fangirl desesperada por ellos.

No sé si es que no le han pasado el cheque o el contrato ha terminado pero cada uno del staff de MTV ha elegido su película preferida del año. Silver Linings Playbook y The Hunger Games están, como era de esperar, junto con The Perks of Being a Wallflower, película protagonizada por Emma Watson y que ha obtenido muy buenas críticas.. La calidad es lo que tiene. Pero para Josh, su película favorita no ha sido ni OTR, Amanecer 2, SWATH o Cosmopolis. Para él su película favorita es The Dark Knight Rises.

Otra lista más en que la adúltera no le dan ni agua.

10. "The Hunger Games"
Never mind the fact that all the performances in this movie are killer, the casting, set and costume design superb, or the film's very impressive haul at the box office; "The Hunger Games" is great because it is about something: survival. Also, it's a story that finally revolves around a female protagonist worth celebrating. Katniss Everdeen has real problems and imperfections, she struggles with overwhelming responsibility, second-guesses her actions, self-defensively pushes away her emotions, and yet she is strong, resilient and intelligent. And we've only scratched the surface of her self-discovery and what it might mean for making real change for everyone living under the desolate, ominous rule of the Capitol. — Kara Warner
8. "Silver Linings Playbook"
Who knew Bradley Cooper had it in 'im? The pretty boy who once brought us gems like "All About Steve" turned in a shockingly beautiful performance in "Silver Linings Playbook" as Pat, a bipolar wreck of a man, fresh from a court-mandated stint in a mental-health facility. Despite the grim circumstances — his female lead is Jennifer Lawrence as a brittle, short-fused young widow — the movie is hopeful, funny, uplifting. It's a silver lining, if you will. — Brooke Tarnoff

2. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"
Literary adaptations can be as complicated as an AP calculus assignment — take one too many liberties with the source material and you'll have a legion of literature lovers passing you dirty notes in class. Perhaps, then, much of the magic of "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" is owing to author Stephen Chbosky, who took on the dual role of screenwriter and director for this coming-of-age tale. Add in stellar performances by Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and, in particular, Ezra Miller, and this high school saga has earned a rightful seat in the cafeteria next to classics like "The Breakfast Club" and "Dead Poets Society." — Amy Wilkinson

1. "The Dark Knight Rises"
How do you follow up one of the best comic book-inspired films of all time anchored by an immediately iconic performance? You go bigger. You raise the stakes. And you put an exclamation point on the end of it. That's what Christopher Nolan did to close out his awe-inspiring take on the legend of Batman in "The Dark Knight Rises," and it's why it's our favorite film of 2012. From Tom Hardy's hypnotic take on Bane (a character generally dismissed as second-tier in the Batman canon) to Anne Hathaway somehow living up to and perhaps exceeding Michelle Pfeiffer's portrayal in "Batman Returns," Nolan made brilliant choice after brilliant choice. And then there are the final 20 minutes, a skillfully edited sequence of escalating action and emotion that gave us all goose bumps. Bruce Wayne's story is over. But the Batman will live forever, and so will this film. — Josh Horowitz
Mientras esperamos que los Razzies lleguen cargaditos, Amanecer 2 se ha estancado en la taquilla. The Hobbit entra fuerte y Skyfall volvió a ponerse por encima. Incluso Lincoln recauda más que los vampiros gusiluz.

Skyfall está rozando los $1,000 millones en la taquilla mundial.

Y Amanecer 2 se ha quedado "parada" en los $700 millones.

Por lo menos ha superado la taquilla de la primera parte.

Recordemos que Summit dijo que superarían a Los Vengadores.

Y que recaudarían más que Harry Potter y las Reliquias de la Muerte 1 y 2.

Comparar las películas por sí solas, no tiene mucho sentido. Pero son sagas y como a Summit y a las enfermas les encanta comparar, pues lo haremos.

- Crepúsculo: $392,616,625
- Los juegos del hambre: $686,533,290 
- Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal: $974,755,371 

Las 3 películas son las primeras de las sagas y la que pierde, y con mucha diferencia, es Crepúsculo. Podría meter a Los Vengadores pero su taquilla ridiculizaría, aún más, a los vampiros brillantes.

- Amanecer - parte 1: $712,171,856 
- Harry Potter y las Reliquias de la Muerte 1: $956,399,711

Más de $200 millones de diferencia y Amanecer ha superado, por poco, a Los Juegos del hambre.

- Amanecer - parte 2 (no es la taquilla definitiva): $778,226,143
- Harry Potter y las Reliquias de la Muerte 2: $1,328,111,219 

Más de $500 millones de diferencia que los vampiros no van a poder superar. Como siempre pasa con Summit: mucho ruido y pocas nueces.


Magnífico gif de Emma para Lâncome. Ella es la cara de la firma y no la han echado, como tampoco al director creativo y no vive de los escándalos. Ahí lo dejo.
