Beasts of the Southern Wild is a very deserving award winning film. It centers on a five-year-old girl, Hushpuppy, who is pressured by her father to sort of "man up" so as to be able to survive should he perish. Their relationship is rather crude, yet has this element of adorability.
Hushpuppy lives in a community in an island isolated from urbanization. They live with a strong sense of survival and pride (for a small number of them), that when a storm is about to hit their area, Hushpuppy, her father, and a few others stand through it.
This movie will get to any human. There are moments when you might feel like crying, but you hold it in and "man up" because somehow the movie prepares you for that. Somehow.
I would definitely recommend this movie. Keep a pillow or something/someone you can hug close by.

Pitch Perfect
Personal Rating: 7/10
IMDb Rating (as of 12/15/12): 7.3/10
This is a really fun movie to watch. It's basically acapellas and humor and a poorly weaved story. The story isn't that bad, but it has a lot of room for improvement. There's also an unnecessary love story there. But that doesn't really matter much. What matters is Anna Kendrick's everything and Rebel Wilson's humor. And the unexplored (bummer) sexual tension between Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow's character.
Pitch Perfect has some quality that you can watch it over and over and not get tired of it—at least in my case. But I wouldn't say it's in the same league as Mean Girls. I'd say it's about two degrees below.
You won't waste your time with this film. It's entertaining, pleasant to the ear, and Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow.

Rise of the Guardians
Personal Rating: 6.3/10
IMDb Rating (as of 12/8/12): 7.5/10
Rise of the Guardians is an animated film that is basically about believing, though not necessarily in a religious sense. The Guardians (Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Sandman, and Tooth Fairy) are plagued by the boogeyman, Pitch (Dark?). To defeat Pitch, the Moon—something like the god or the big boss man of the Guardians—chooses another addition to the Guardians: Jack Frost.
Warning: spoilers after the jump
