Favorite Films of 2012 and Favorite Posts of 2012
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor
As a film blogger, I do see a considerable number of films/movies during the year, yet when it comes time to pick my favorites, and the Golden Globe Nominations are revealed, it becomes abundantly and disappointingly clear that I didn’t see nearly enough films/movies to make a proper judgment.
I also swear, I’m constantly doing write-ups on what I do see, but then at the end of the year, there’s a whole host of movies I never did a post about, or just a very short commentary on facebook. (by the way, please like my facebook page – it’s at 143 likes, 150 would be a nice beginning for 2013).
I’d like to give an honorable mention to Angelina Jolie’s In The Land of Blood and Honey (click for T & T post). It’s a 2011 movie and was nominated for Best Foreign Language film for last year’s Golden Globes; however, I screened it in the theaters January 2012, so it’s among my posts for this past year.
Silver Linings Playbook (click for post) doesn’t quite seem Oscar worthy; but there was a dearth of feel good flicks this past season, and it’s very cute and quirky. Plus, I got to take pics of director David O. Russell on the red carpet!
Saw very few Indie flicks this year, so by default I gotta say Beast of the Southern Wild, was my favorite. Mainly for the same reason everyone else thinks this is such a good film – 6 year-old, never before acted Quvenzhané Wallis completely blows you away! Beast of the Southern Wild was one of those I wrote about on facebook, but never did a post. I did however, shoot a video of producer Dan Janvey discussing the making of the film after the Philadelphia Film Society screening back in the spring. (see video below):
