The hills of New England are alive with the sound of young love and Hank Williams music in Moonrise Kingdom, a sweet, charming and altogether delightful bit of whimsy from writer/director Wes Anderson. Fair warning: If you're one of those folks who hopped off the Anderson bandwagon after The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou having grown somewhat weary of his familiar visual bag of tricks and poker-faced sense of humor, this movie may still not tempt you back into the fold given that it perpetuates all of his signature stylistic quirks rather than reinvents them. That's your loss though, as Moonrise is one of the director's most skillfully assembled movies and an example of how welcome his unique voice is on the contemporary cinematic landscape.

We reflect on the just-announced 2013 Oscar nominations. Sorry DC Nation... Marvel Studios has kicked your butt one more time.

The Moviefile puts a bow on 2012 with our official Top Ten list, plus a bunch of honorable mentions.
