Top Ten Favorite Films of 2012

10. 21 Jump Street This movie shouldn't have been good.  In fact, it probably should have sucked.  But I found myself enjoying every minute of it!  I never really was a Channing Tatum fan until I saw this movie.  He always seemed pretty average to me, but I was really surprised to see him do comedy and to see him excel in it!  And of course Jonah Hill is hilarious.  I won't give too much away, but there's a pretty amazing cameo at the end that takes the movie from entertaining to awesome!  (It doesn't take a genius to figure out who the cameo is, but I was still surprised when it happened!) 9.
