To Rome With Love (L.A. Film Fest '12)

I've never considered myself a fan of Woody Allen, which is likely a result of not having seen many of his early works. I respect Annie Hall much more than I like it, and that's embarrassingly the only pre-2000s film of his I've seen. But after watching and enjoying Match Point, Scoop, Cassandra's Dream, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Midnight in Paris, and now To Rome With Love, I think I've slowly but surely become a Woody Allen fan.

Prometheus

Ridley Scott returns to his sci-fi roots with Prometheus, a beautiful film that is equally impressive in the ideas it evokes as in the visual prowess it displays. Ostensibly a prequel to Alien, this film works surprisingly well as a standalone story. There are clear nods to Scott's earlier iconic franchise, but ultimately this is a dazzling, gorgeous movie that aims high and lands as one of the best of the year.
