After putting "The Hunger Games" into my 'Elite Collection,' I looked into the films, TV series and film series I have nominated and there are several that I feel that I'm going to call 2012 winners from today. I'm going to explain why each is a winner below.
Film Series
Paranormal Activity- I wasn't really fond of the first "Paranormal" film but as the series progressed I have appreciated the series more and more. Above all else I admire both it's uniqueness and ability to use scare tactics without resorting to gore but using plain terror.
Jurassic Park- I grew up on "Jurassic Park" and it's insanely awesome. Even though the last one was a dud the other two stake a serious claim and definitely define elite.
TV Series
Teen Wolf- A great series in many ways and a welcome addition to my Elite Collection. I was taken by the first season and the second season is one I'm eagerly awaiting for the DVD so I can delve right into it.
Being Human- This is a winner because it has stuck with me since I watched it in January. It's what I would call the post-pubescent "Teen Wolf" and I love it.
Film
Frozen- There are three films that have really stuck with me this year and "Frozen" is one of those. The idea of trapping three people on a ski lift with wolves below was terrifying and I appreciated every second of it.
Chronicle- An unexpected success for me. Found footage films have become really cliche but this one pulled out all the stops and made a real story about real power and I believed in how they treated their new-found powers.
In Time- A truly original concept that had me lost in thought thinking about the three. Of the three, this film has really stuck with me the most.
