Editors' Picks: Favorite Movies of 2012

Editors from nearby Patches weigh in on their favorite movies of 2012.

Editor's Note: The following is part of a special "end-of-the-year" series in which local editors from your nearby Patch towns highlight their favorites in various topics.   Ben Paulin - Editor, Walpole Patch "The Dark Knight Rises" was my favorite movie of 2012. I love all three movies in the trilogy, and while the "Dark Knight" was my favorite of the three, "Dark Knight Rises" was a close second. It was action packed and Bane was a great villain.  Jeff Sullivan - Editor, Mansfield Patch "Seven Psychopaths."

Movies and robots are the immature thoughts that flow through my tiny, little, pea-sized brain. This is because I like to think that life is simple. But life isn't simple. Not for everyone.

Patch Movie Review: Rango

Johnny Depp's latest film, the animated Rango is a modern day western well worth watching.

It is apropos that Johnny Depp, the chameleon actor who has given so many memorable and varied performances over the years in both the mainstream (Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean) and in what I believe to be unequivocally his two finest and certainly most underappreciated films, Dead Man and Ed Wood is playing just that; a chameleon in his latest foray into animated film, Rango.  Rango sees Depp again teaming up with Pirates director Gore Verbinski.
