Expecting this docu essay to be reminiscent of such canvases as Koyaanisqatsi, Microcosmos, Powaqqatsi and Baraka, we expect this to not only reveal some of the larger in scope ideas Malick has been toying with for Tree of Life, and we'll be pleasantly surprised if Voyage comes across as more than just a companion piece. Employing several formats (including IMAX) this features the work from renowned natural history photographer Peter Parks and "Planet Earth" cinematographer Paul Atkins. Plus we've taken a liking to Pitt's narration voice in PBS' e² series.

For film snobs such as myself, you'd need a really valid reason to want to see a film with Reese Witherspoon and Matthew McConaughey toplining. Arkansas born Jeff Nichols is that reason. From the day in 2007 where I decided to pull out Shotgun Stories from my pile of screeners to the blissful satisfaction I received approximately one year ago when taking in Take Shelter on premiere night in Park City, in just two feature films, this gifted auteur has proven his worth as one of the most talented filmmaking voices in American Independent cinema. Worth noting: Michael Shannon is in this film too.

Fearful that Andrew Dominik's filmography would be a snail paced one, a big thanks goes to Brad Pitt who essentially put the Aussie filmmaker right back on the map after a less than 4 million dollar domestic gross for his poetic 2007 sophomore pic, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. We've been fans of the helmer since his debut film, Chopper and hope that this criminal underworld, James Gray-like nocturnal set street pic is steel cold and gritty. Animal Kingdom's Ben Mendelsohn casting choice is spot on. One of the many Weinstein Co. anticipated 2012 releases.

Supplied with a strong Euro and North American cast, apparently Cronenberg's adaptation of Don DeLillo's work is fairly strong. The novel is a modern re-interpretation of James Joyce's Ulysses smack dab in NYC's corporate world.

Fans of Kim can breathe a collective sigh of relief -- after back to back consecutive years on our Top Most Anticipated List (#53 in 2010, #27 in 2011) 2012 is the year of Paul Dano who reminds us why he is a sought after indie film lead. He has got Looper, He Loves Me, Being Flynn and this single parent drama in the can and he is working on Night Moves and gets to play Karl Rove in the blacklist favorite, College Republicans.
