    'Amour' & 'Rust And Bone' Top London Critics' Circle Awards

    by Kevin Jagernauth on Sun Jan 20 15:50:49 EST 2013

    With the focus this weekend on Park City with the Sundance Film Festival now in full swing, it might be easy to forget we're still in the midst of the awards season. And even though we're nearing the finishing line, with the Golden Globes already handed out, and a few more major guild awards and the...

    Kevin Jagernauth's Favorite Films Of 2012

    by Kevin Jagernauth on Mon Jan 14 12:01:03 EST 2013

    2012 is so two weeks ago, right? Well, forgive my tardiness, but I was doing my best to catch up with as much as possible before putting this list together, but even then some films missed out. "Once Upon A Time In Anatolia," "Compliance," "Sleepwalk With Me," "Nob...

    'Amour' Wins Best Picture, Best Director & Best Actress From The National Society Of Film Critics

    by Kevin Jagernauth on Sun Jan 06 11:13:26 EST 2013

    The Oscar nominations are coming on Thursday morning, so that still leaves some time for critics groups to weigh in before the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences makes their announcement, and pretty much determines the movies that will be focus of conversation until Febraury 26th. But one...

    Jessica Kiang’s Favorite Films Of 2012

    by Jessica Kiang on Fri Jan 04 13:56:03 EST 2013

    Step into my limousine and let’s drive around in the dead of night trying to find the corpses of 2012’s best films, shall we? Our journey will take us to the cornfields of Kansas, to tiny New England islands and to an explosion in a restaurant in Tel Aviv. We will talk to murderers and movie directo...

    My Favorite Films Of 2012 - Rodrigo Perez

    by Rodrigo Perez on Fri Jan 04 13:03:01 EST 2013

    Cinema. Our cathedral in the dark for watching the lives of others flashing on a screen in hopes of a resonant echo, self-recognition, escape, catharsis, trying to make sense of this crazy world. One sometimes has to question the beings who would rather spend their time with fictional people in an u...

    by The Playlist Staff on Thu Jan 03 12:51:16 EST 2013

    Yesterday, we unveiled our Most Anticipated Films Of 2013 - Part 1, and we think you'll agree there's a promising selection out there. But that's far from all that the next twelve months has to offer, and there's much more on the horizon.

    The 100 Most Anticipated Films Of 2013 - Part 1

    by The Playlist Staff on Wed Jan 02 11:58:00 EST 2013

    So here we are in 2013. We survived the Mayan apocalypse, and we've made it to the year in which both Kevin Costner's disaster epic "The Postman" and sub-standard John Carpenter sequel "Escape To L.A." were set. And after a strong 2012, which contained some of the most anticipated movies in recent m...

    Drew Taylor's Top Ten Favorite Films of 2012

    by Drew Taylor on Wed Jan 02 11:04:03 EST 2013

    2012 was all about escape. Not only in terms of the big-budget movies that offered us escape from the increasingly ugly real world (how many superheroes or swoony vampires can we stomach?), but by the content of the more adult movies. Characters wanted an escape – from slavery, from a futuristic Kor...

    The Best Movies of 2012

    by The Playlist Staff on Tue Jan 01 14:01:17 EST 2013

    So far....Ok, first off, sorry to disappoint you if you thought this was going to be one big master list from all of our contributors. One thing is clear: getting a consensus out of the entire The Playlist is impossible and man, even if we put it to a vote (which we've done in the past), the results...

    Oh commenters, you make writing this site worthwhile for us. We just put our pithy little thoughts out into the world and you are our reflection.
