4 Best and 5 Worst "Twists" of 2012 Movies

3. Weyland's Been on Board The Whole Damn Movie - Prometheus

I really enjoyed Prometheus for what it was (but not as Alien canon). But it definitely falls apart before the third act, I think in this moment where a heavily made-up and elderly Guy Pearce appears on board to assert he's been there the whole time and that he's excited to meet the aliens. It doesn't help that it's in this very same scene we find out that not only has he been playing stowaway (okay, they knew he was there), but he's also the man responsible for fathering Charlize Theron. ...okay, maybe we can forgive him for that.

Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
