Movies to watch in 2012: my pick

One thing is for sure: if the Mayans were right and the world does end in 12 months, we'll have had the consolation of a great year... at least in theatres. It's hard to recall a cinema year in recent memory that offered such a variety of films for every taste. Today I picked some movies of different genres that could be interesting to watch. Enjoy!
