2012. Bobgar's year in movies.

The following is simply a list of all the movies that I watched in the calendar year of 2012. Some I ranted and raved about, some I downright detested. I had given myself the modest challenge of a movie a week for a year. This is a chronological list of the movies.

Home Movies.

Bobgar is patiently waiting, hoping that Dan will watch this so that they can discuss on a future episode.

Home Movies: A Dangerous Method

"A Dangerous Method is a 2011 historical film directed by David Cronenberg and starring Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen, Michael Fassbender, and Vincent Cassel.

Set on the eve of World War I, A Dangerous Method describes the turbulent relationships between Carl Jung, founder of analytical psychology, Sigmund Freud, founder of the discipline of psychoanalysis, and Sabina Spielrein, initially a patient of Jung and later a physician and one of the first female psychoanalysts."

Dan is on vacation and I (Bobgar) watched A Dangerous Method last night. I don't want to speak about the plot of the story save the quoted text above because it is a story that must be experienced. It was a completely engrossing story with captivating performances by all the actors. It is an excellent film that is relentless in its portrayal of the individual's practices.  In my estimation it is a near perfect film, although admittedly some scenes are quite difficult to witness.  Recommended.

 

The underbite was a nice touch too.

WHYBW: Updates

What up boobers and toobers? It's Dan once again, blooging from the Northern Hemisphere for once. Not many readers might care about this but I thought I'd do a quick update on some of the WHYBW shows that I've mentioned in past Boob Toob episodes, just to see what I'm still watching and what I'm still digging.

Last Resort: I'm still enjoying it although the characters are getting a little comfortable where they are. I'd prefer if they weren't but not a big deal. It'll only be 13 eps though so I hope they wrap things up nicely.

666 Park Avenue: I'm a few eps behind. Still fun to watch but the fact that I'm behind means that it's not exactly must see tv for me at the moment. That said, I did a Melbourne vacation for a few days in Nov and now I'm in the Philippines for the whole of Dec so that'll mess up my viewing patterns.

Elementary: I think I'm only up to ep 3 or 4. It's fun but I'm happy to pile up eps. They really don't seem like Sherlock and Watson. I would've been fine if they had different names.

Homeland: Still loving it. Even the daughter storyline is becoming tolerable. I'm gonna try to get my in laws here in the Philippines into it. They've heard that it's good but they haven't seen it yet.

Sword Art Online: They're onto the second major story arc and I gotta say it's not as compelling as the first arc. Things slowed down quite a bit and there's a few story elements that I'm not all that interested in. It's almost over though so I'm happy to wait it out.

Happy Holidays and a teaser

Bobgar will be talking about his first experience with the American Horror Story series on Episode 9. Discussed will be the first 4 episode of AHS Asylum plus a whole lot more TV talk by Dan and Bobgar. Stay Tuned.
