Top 10 Films of 2012

10. KILLING THEM SOFTLY


Andrew Dominik continues his streak of brilliant, under-appreciated films with this deeply angry, bitter evisceration of the American way, backed up by outstanding performances from Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini and Ben Mendelsohn. It's never subtle, but it's a film that will only grow in your estimation the more time you have to think about it. And you will be thinking about it. Fascinatingly, it received an CinemaScore of 'F' from American film-goers (the lowest possible), suggesting that maybe Dominik is scratching at a wound nobody wants exposed.

The rest of the Top Ten after the jump...

2012 ENTERTAINMENT HIGHLIGHTS: NO. 1

(Each day in December, I’m going to be posting small tributes to my 2012 entertainment highlights. Not all of them will have been created exclusively in 2012, but they’ve all been special to me this year for one reason or another. I do this not for any particular reason, but just because, as a pop-culture junkie, I’m incredibly lucky to have been able to consume all of this entertainment this year, and it’s nice to have some positivity on the Internet every now and again.)
