30 Day Movie Challenge: Day 01- The best movie you saw during the last year

Thanks to Madthoughts for tipping me off to this awesome meme.

"The best movie I've seen in the past year" is a tough one to answer. I'm going to limit it to "the best movie I've seen that was released in theaters in the past year" to help make that call.

Given that limitation, I think for me the easy choice is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Sure, it's fresh in my mind because I just saw it, but I think it narrowly beats out the other contender, Kick-Ass, because it was even more fun to watch.


Is "Scott Pilgrim" the greatest movie I've ever seen? No. But it blended various dimensions of graphic novels, video games, and the sheer hyperbole of my generation into a melange of fantastic, eye- and ear-popping candy that just made me giggle. It was pure, popcorn pulp that consistently surprised me in its presentation. So for all that, I give it the crown of the Best Movie I've Seen in the Past Year.
