Netflix Instant: Movie & TV Picks
This week we had the unfortunate news that legendary special effects artist, Ray Harryhausen passed away. In his honor, I wanted to recommend some of his movies available over streaming. However, that proved to be more difficult than expected. I'll be posting a memorial post later, but in the meanwhile, here are some amazing movies that just came on to Netflix Instant.

Top Ten Movies of 2012: Jonesy Edition
2012 was a fairly decent year of movies for me. However, I did have a tough time compiling my list. Not because there were an overabundance of films I wanted on there, but because I couldn't find ten films easily. Even though I saw a lot of really good films, I didn't have many that just blew me away. Most were easily enjoyable, but none I cared to necessarily revisit anytime soon or had too many flaws I couldn't look past.
So, I have my ten favorites from this year in no particular order. I find it difficult to list films in an arbitrary order because how can I really ever compare PITCH PERFECT to CLOUD ATLAS. All these films were released in theatres during 2012. There are a few films that I didn't get a chance to see that I was very much anticipating (LES MISERABLES and ZERO DARK THIRTY), but alas I missed them, which I think every blogger has that issue towards the end of the year.
All of my picks spoke or have stuck with me in some sort of fashion, and I'm surprised (more at myself) that I don't really have flat out Oscar bait films on here...okay maybe one.
So for better or worse, here are my top ten films of 2012, in no particular order.

Jonesy's Top Five of the Year (So Far)
We're only half-way through the year, and if I'm being honest, making this list wasn't the easiest to do. Unfortunately it wasn't because there were so many films to choose from, but there hasn't been many films that have stuck with me. I'm hoping the second half of the year proves to be better, but for now, in no particular order, here are my top five films (and some honorable mentions) for 2012...so far:
