The 10 best (and worst) films of 2012 (so far)

It’s amazing we’re now halfway through 2012, a year that has offered plenty in the way of both blockbuster films and the smaller, more intimate indie fare. Taking that into account, it seems only fitting to offer up something a long the lines of a best of/worst of post for the first half of 2012.

Hypable Movie Review: ‘Contraband’ an uninteresting, convoluted mess

In Contraband, we see Mark Wahlberg very comfortable in the role of a former crook, turned family man who is forced back into the game for a final score. Sound familiar? The film certainly isn’t shy about treading this territory, instead choosing to rely on a series of plot twists which can’t salvage the film. All this makes for a very convoluted plot, that can neither be interesting or important, rather simply creating an uninteresting and overly long running time.
