2012.
The world didn’t come to an end but the innocence of the 2011 movie season
definitely did. We no longer had silent fluff pieces about two star crossed
lovers or little boys running around train stations trying to fix robots.
Instead, we had alcoholic pilots and cult leaders, terrorism and slavery, and
the usually heroic Leonardo DiCaprio playing one of the most sadistic
characters in recent mainstream cinema. You know things have gotten dark when
Jack from Titanic is watching two men fight to the death all the while whooping
and hollering in joy.
