Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #95. David O. Russell’s The Silver Linings Playbook
Honestly we're a bit peeved by the entire Nailed situation, but if this comedy contains some of the humor elements we've previously enjoyed from O. Russell's dark comedies such as Flirting with Disaster and I Heart Huckabees then we are good to go.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #96. Hal Hartley’s Meanwhile
Whit Stillman makes a new film. Check. Hal Hartley is moments away from completing his first (feature) film since Fay Grim. Check. It's almost fitting that U.S indie icons Stillman and Hartley will release their films this year, and while Hartley's film output is more vast, I'd be curious to know production dollar difference there is between his debut 1989 film, The Unbelievable Truth and this comedy partially financed via Kickstarter.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2012: #99. James Clauer’s When The World’s On Fire
Six years since his breakout short film debut "The Aluminum Fowl," hit the festival circuit (Sundance, Rotterdam, Cannes), James Clauer's feature length debut in glorious 35mm is finally upon us and should make the immigrant experience samples as Sin Nombre feel like a Disney film. Backed by the Nomadic Independence clan, this Gotham in Progress selected project will surely be a fierce commentary about the unattainable and indoctrinated myth that has been going strong since 1931.
