For now, suffice it to say that 2012 acted as a sort of apology for 2011. Whereas 2011 was weak by almost any standard, 2012 offered at least five movies that could make a claim (for one reason or another) to be the year's most memorable...ArticleJuly 22$2 tier & up 7 12 ReelViews Review: "Spider-Man: Brand New Day"5 days agoArticle5 days ago at Aug 6 crawlPublic 0 10 Unlock with membershipThe Dead Pool – 100 Movie Deaths: #15 July 17 Unlock with membership Buy post $3 3 1 Share GiftArticleJuly 17$2 tier & up 3 1 ReelViews Review: "The Odyssey"July 17ArticleJuly 17Public 0 11 Unlock with membershipLooking at the anemic box office returns of several would-be blockbusters this summer—The Mandalorian and Grogu, Supergirl, Minions & Monsters, and Moana—a few things jump out at me.

Change the "may be" to "is." Whereas the passage of time diminishes some films, it has done the opposite for this one. As much as I appreciated The Descendants upon its initial release (placing it at #2 on my contemporaneous end-of-the-year list), I value it even more today. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my age and circumstances are now closer to those of George Clooney's leading character. Or maybe it's just that some movies, like fine wines, simply improve as they age...
