A list of every movie I've seen in 2012, organized by letter grade. This is here because I won't be able to/won't want to review everything, and I thought it'd be a convenient resource. It will be regularly updated throughout the year. If a film does have a full review, you can click on the title and it should take you right there. If a title is not hyperlinked, then there either is no review or a review is on the way. If you have any questions or if a link doesn't work, e-mail me.
The letter grade alone does not determine where a film will wind up on an end-of-the-year list. Each film is judged individually without regard for how it compares to something else. List-making is an entirely different process that requires much blood, sweat and tears. Mostly tears.
Films are organized alphabetically within each grade.
