Riddle (2013)
Boring 'thriller'. Saw it mainly for the hottie Diora Baird, but even she was pretty dull like rest of the movie.

Tower Block (2012)
The residents of the top floor of a London tower block faces a battle for survival when a murderous sniper begins picking off anyone careless enough to get close to the windows. Pretty fast & solid thriller, worth a watch.

Life of Pi (2012)
The Days with 'Richard Parker'! Surely one of the best of 2012, as I expected. Though there are many amazing moments but loved that scene where Richard Parker is staring at the sky & Pi lying on the boat, very tiredly calls him from behind and he just slightly turns back his head (as if that tiger was thinking some serious stuffs i.e. what's going to happen next or when/where this journey will end or who knows may be he was praying or talking to God:) Even that '2nd or backup story' added an extra spark to this incredible tale of survival. Loved it.

The Helpers (2012)

Vacancy rip-off.

Lincoln (2012)
Nothing new to say about great Daniel Day-Lewis as well as the rest of the A-list Hollywood actors. I'm not sure but there was something missing; probably it dragged too much on cabinet delegation and congress discussions, not enough about Lincoln's life, only a very specific historic part of his presidency.

Mama (2013)
There are some fine creepy set-pieces, particularly loved the scene that shot from the passageway & we see through the door that the little girl is playing with a looonngg shadow in the room! But there's quite a lot of drama at the end. Still, pretty decent overall but nothing spectacular.
>>: B+
The Lorax (2012)
Unexpectedly very average.

Come Out and Play (2012)
A scene-to-scene Mexican remake of 1976 Spanish Killer Kid flick
Who Can Kill a Child?. Though it provided decent amount of dismembered body parts as playing tools for the children but it was quite dry in story progression.
