Before I get to my final predictions I thought I’d do some fun lists. So here are the top 5 heroes and villains from the past cinematic year.
Top 5 Heroes
1. Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera)
An everyman for the everyman who played video games or loved a girl
2. Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld)
The ferocious heart and real “grit” of a tough film
3. Aaron Ralston (James Franco), 127 Hours
Showed us willingness to perserver and sawed off his arm
4. Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie)
For double crossing the double crossers, and playing with the big boys
5. Flynn Ryder/Eugene Fitzherbert (Zachary Levi)
For “rescuing” the girl with long hair and being cool
Top 5 Villains
1. Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy)
For the shear force of evilness (locking up her daughter) and fabulous songs.
2. Todd Ingram (Brandon Routh), Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
Vegan superpowers notwithstanding, he’s kind of a dick lol
3. Gideon Graves (Jason Schwartzman)
For being the final obstacle (and a douche at that)…
4. The Cody Family (Animal Kingdom)
“You’ve done some bad things sweetie”
5. Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), The Socail Network
Deliciously narcisstic and paranoid, great line delivery
