Welcome to the Powet Top 5, where we explore the top (and bottom) 5 items we think are relevant to any of a variety of topics that span the imagination. Sit back, read, and respond

2012 is now behind us. The year came with it’s share of decent movies. I made a pact with some friends to catch most of the summer movies and aside from that crappy Spider-Man flick I can honestly say I had a good time at all of them. So here’s a look at my top 5 personal favourites of the year. I’m sure to miss some of your favourites so feel free to let me know why I’m wrong in the comments!

You can this in the ‘creative use of toys and games’ category. A band by the name of Delta Heavy has put together a fantastic stop motion animated music video. The feature includes appearances of Connect Four, Battleship, Jenga, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Scrabble, Dominoes and more.

Battleship is the Hasbro board game property based on blindly determining the location of and sinking your opponent’s fleet of ships. More recently, a variation of the game was released called Battleship: Galaxies, which appears to be based on this movie’s plot. I cannot decide if this looks like Transformers 4: Lost at Sea or a GI Joe/Transformers crossover. Let us know what you think in the comments!

Hasbro’s next big film, Battleship, is coming in 2012. It will be loosely based off of the popular board game of the same name. The film will star Liam Neeson, Rhianna, and Taylor Kitsch.
