109 different people starred in the movies I saw last year (starring in being the first two named stars, a tradition dating back to the old Chicago Tribune TV guide), and only 9 of them were in more than 1. Those nine are:
Films Per Actor Per Year
| Name | Films |
|---|---|
| Jonah Hill | 3 |
| Nicolas Cage | 2 |
| George Clooney | 2 |
| Daniel Craig | 2 |
| Harrison Ford | 2 |
| Ryan Gosling | 2 |
| Chris Hemsworth | 2 |
| Sara Paxton | 2 |
| Amanda Seyfried | 2 |
Now let’s take a look at the remaining movies that I saw in 2012, following up on Wednesday’s post.
Ghosts of Goldfield (2007)
A horrible, horrible film that I barely paid attention to.
Chronicle (2012)
A found footage film of a kid who has been bullied all of his life and acquires super powers.
Gone (2012)
When a former kidnapping victim wakes up to find her sister missing, she assumes the man from whom she escaped is the one responsible.
The Sitter (2011)
Jonah Hill is a poor-man’s Elizabeth Shue in this basic rip-off of Adventures In Babysitting.
The Darkest Hour (2011)
A quartet of Americans are stranded in Russia when aliens attack the world.
Santa’s Slay (2005)
The “true” tale of Santa, Satan’s child who has been nice to children because he lost a bet.
Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance (2012)
Quite possibly the worst movie I saw in this, or any other, year.
Dream House (2011)
Daniel Craig uses a new identity to help prove that he didn’t kill his family.
Blue Valentine (2010)
A soul-crushing look at a relationship that has turned toxic.
Brake (2012)
95% of this film is Stephen Dorff locked in a car trunk. That’s a lot of Stephen Dorff.
Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil (2010)
Totally not what I was expecting and one of the nicer surprises of the year. A truly funny horror movie that did not get anywhere near the love it deserved.
Trapped (2002)
A team of kidnappers find that they may have bitten off more than they can chew with their latest caper.
