Editor's Note: The following is part of a special "end-of-the-year" series in which local editors from your nearby Patch towns highlight their favorites in various topics. Jonathan Friedman - Editor, Attleboro-Seekonk Patch From my earliest days through college, I was a competitive swimmer. I was never good enough to be an Olympian, but I have a tremendous respect for those who are. And every four years, it is exciting to see swimming in the spotlight. Special kudos go to Michael Phelps, who looked like he had lost his magic when he didn't even win a medal in his first individual event, the 400 IM (first time since 2000 that had happened), but then regained it later in the week with spectacular wins in the 200 IM and 100 butterfly, while…

Editor's Note: The following is part of a special "end-of-the-year" series in which local editors from your nearby Patch towns highlight their favorites in various topics. What was your favorite TV show from 2012? Ben Paulin - Editor, Walpole Patch "Breaking Bad" is the best show on TV and maybe the best show ever. Every episode is more thrilling than the last and I will be sad to see it go next year. Walter White's journey from high school science teacher to crystal meth king pin has been truly incredible to see unfold. The creators of the show do an amazing job of leaving no stone unturned and leaving no loose ends. If you haven't seen it yet, I would highly recommend it. Jeff Sullivan - Editor, Mansfield Patch Too many to count. This…

Editor's Note: The following is part of a special "end-of-the-year" series in which local editors from your nearby Patch towns highlight their favorites in various topics. Ben Paulin - Editor, Walpole Patch "The Dark Knight Rises" was my favorite movie of 2012. I love all three movies in the trilogy, and while the "Dark Knight" was my favorite of the three, "Dark Knight Rises" was a close second. It was action packed and Bane was a great villain. Jeff Sullivan - Editor, Mansfield Patch "Seven Psychopaths." There were a lot of great movies this year, and they all catered to a specific demographic/genre. "Twilight" was for hopeless romantics, "The Avengers" was for geeks, "Lincoln" was for history buffs and "Les Miserables" was for …

Editor's Note: The following is part of a special "end-of-the-year" series in which local editors from your nearby Patch towns highlight their favorites in various topics. Jeff Sullivan - Editor, Mansfield Patch David Byrne and St. Vincent - "Who." I'm a sucker for baritone saxophones, what can I say? If you haven't checked out this song, you should. It's a rocky dance number with amazing vocals from both Byrne and St. Vincent. Dan Libon - Editor, Wrentham Patch "Take a Walk" by Passion Pit marked the return of one of the best bands to come out of Boston in recent memory. With an upbeat song about financial struggles and trying to make it, Passion Pit once again proved that even the most serious of issues can be expressed with an …

Editor's Note: The following is part of a special "end-of-the-year" series in which local editors from your nearby Patch towns highlight their favorites in various topics. Kelly Glista - Editor, Norwood Patch I have to pick two, because I have a “classic” choice and a more modern one. First of all - “It’s a Wonderful Life.” I know it’s an easy pick, but it really is one of those holiday films for me that never gets tired. My second pick is “The Family Stone.” I won’t lie, I watch it every holiday season and I cry every time, but it’s a beautiful story with a lot of fun and heartwarming moments – without being too overly cheesy. Dan Libon - Editor, Wrentham Patch "Die Hard." It takes place on Christmas Eve and that's good enough for me! …

My favourite show from 2012 was the japanese masterpiece soredemo ikite yuku (Still life goes on) A child is murdered. His killer goes to prison. The bulk of the story takes place years later. The main characters of the story are the brother of the victim and the sister of the killer. It's about how they connect with each other. But it;s also about how both families cope. It's not a crime series… more ›
