Geektastic movies for 2012

[Grieve]

In 2011 the movie I enjoyed the most was Rise of the Planet of the Apes, because I had zero expectations for it. Kind of the same this year - three movies I had heard no hype for and wasn't expecting much from really surprised me. Chronicle was the best and most original "superpowers" movie I saw this year, Looper was the best sci-fi flick, and Cabin in the Woods was the best and smartest horror movie I've seen yet.
