Weak and manipulative crap regardless of Mark Wahlberg.

Love your championing of Anna Karenina, most underrated film of the year imo.

I completely agree dispite us somehow being in the minority.

I love that The Playlist is such a champion of my favorite film of 2011- Young Adult. Wish the Academy had followed this trend.

It will ruin Andersons carer. Nobody is going to give him money for Inherent Vice to make another stupid movie.

That falls into the elitist 'look at how smart I am' category and you completely loose touch with you audience, unless your audience is comprised of intellectuals like Justin Erik Halldór Smith.

Note to Justin, no offense intended, I find you writing very challenging and enjoyable.

Ted the Worst film of the year. Everyone can have there own opinion but that was just pure funny.

Now, I haven't seen the film (it won't be released in Australia for another month), but I was a little bewildered that many critics referred to his performance as callow or out of depth. That's the character, or at least it was my interpretation of the Tolstoy character. The actor is not playing a Rochester or even a Heathcliff: he's meant to project shallow charm and a growing insensitivity to his on-screen partner. I am looking forward to the film and seeing how the filmmakers have interpreted the characters, but it makes me wince when a film critic talks about how shallow Taylor-Johnson seems: have these guys read the book at all? And, if they did, did they understand it?

Can't believe it's making top ten lists this year. You say its a children's film, Oliver? I'll give you fifty bucks if you can find a kid that will watch it all the way through!

But yeah, any list that has Wadjda and Tabu in the top three is awesome by anyone's standards.

Style over substance as opposed to what you argue as "inventively cinematic".
