2012: Our favourite films
We take a look back at some of our favourite movies from the past year!
Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and a film written by Joss Whedon. What's not to love? The Avengers was the biggest film of the year - and is the third highest-grossing film of all time.
It may have divided critics across the globe, but our reviewer raved about Cloud Atlas.
Christopher Nolan's epic conclusion to his Dark Knight franchise was only ever going to be mind-blowing. The Dark Knight Rises wrapped up Batman's story with style, grace and emotion.
While critics are divided over Peter Jackson's first Hobbit film, An Unexpected Journey, we loved it - and can't wait for our return to Middle-earth!
Based on Suzanne Collins' best-selling novel, The Hunger Games was a superb start to what is going to be a massive franchise.
No, this isn't because of the strippers. Well, not JUST because of the strippers. Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike was smart, sexy, fun - and a pleasant cinematic surprise.
The highly-anticipated prequel to Ridley Scott's Alien series, Prometheus was largely a victim of its own hype - but we still loved it enough to see it twice.
It's been heralded by some as the best Bond film ever - a very big call. Regardless, Skyfall was one of the year's best films - with Sam Mendes putting a different twist on the spy franchise.
Cape Town Beliebers, it is the day you have been waiting for. And we've got important info here.
Some of Hollywood's biggest names rocked out at the Met Gala's Punk: Chaos to Couture show. 
Kristen Stewart was named the best dressed woman by Glamour. We glance back at her looks.
