That’s exactly right. This was basically what I saw in 2012, which is a limited scope, I know. I actually inquired about seeing ACT OF KILLING, but I think it will be a big release this year. I can’t wait for it, it’s my number one most anticipated new film.

Not to speak for Mr. Greene here but maybe he hasn’t seen The Act of Killing yet, which means it will be considered in 2013 for that reason and not because of a release date situation? (Okay, I’ll back my butt back out of here now.)

Leviathan is technically next year too. I thought release dates don’t matter. In any case, I second the case for Act of Killing. But otherwise, nice choices and good piece.

Honestly I’d prefer not to say, except that I’m less interested in those films formally and I think they’ve all been overpraised.

Whoops, that first sentence is a doozy – I’m curious to hear your reasoning on omitting some films.

I also would be curious what reasons why some films were left off for a reason. You can’t call for a revolution without explaining what’s wrong with some of the years best received films. As is it reads like that close to the LA Times piece on ONLY THE YOUNG, which you openly railed.

Why was Jiro Dreams of Sushi left off?

“The Act of Killing”? Better see it and do a quick re-write.
