Javi's Top Five of The Year (So Far)

Obviously it's a little later than the halfway point of the year; however, I did want to just check in with you guys and share my favorite movies of the year so far. As keeping with my particular standard, I will not recommend or post any movies that you cool kids could not see in a theatre near you, so movies from film festivals are completely out.

Check them out after the jump.

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:

For Funsies: ClayCat's THE RAID

Javi here. If you guys didn't know, we're huge fans of THE RAID here at WDYMS. That will be most likely be a top ten movie for me this year and I can't wait to buy it on Blu-ray. So imagine my surprise where in my daily stalking of Scott Weinberg's twitter, I see that this tweet from user @ji_doctor, who pointed him to a claymation/cat version of THE RAID , a "ClayCat" if you will. It's so much fun and definitely worth looking at. Beware of spoilers for the movie if you haven't seen it. The video description says that it's spoiler free, but I disagree a little. Check out the video after the jump.
