Jonesy's Top Five of the Year (So Far)

We're only half-way through the year, and if I'm being honest, making this list wasn't the easiest to do. Unfortunately it wasn't because there were so many films to choose from, but there hasn't been many films that have stuck with me. I'm hoping the second half of the year proves to be better, but for now, in no particular order, here are my top five films (and some honorable mentions) for 2012...so far:

COMPLIANCE Trailer Drops!

It seems that there's a film every year that causes a stir at Sundance. Last year it was THE WOMAN, and this year it was Craig Zobel's psychological thriller, COMPLIANCE. The first screening at Sundance was met with walkouts and shouting matches during the Q&A's.

We were lucky enough to see this film at this year's Dallas International Film Festival. Even though I squirmed in my seat and felt so much anger during the film, it ended up being one of my favorites of the festival. It delves in and gets under your skin and never lets up. There even was a very, very heated Q&A after the screening I attended. I had never seen a movie draw that kind of reaction before.

Now that it's made its way through the festival circuit, we have our first trailer for its upcoming release.

Check it after the break.

Javi here. It's that time of the year when I'll be bingeing on movies for 10 days straight during the Dallas International Film Festival. Even if there's issues with the festival itself, I've always enjoyed their selection. We'll be starting a series of articles that lead up to the festival, starting with this article, followed by (in no particular order) Jonesy, Jessica and Damon's most anticipated movies, and a "survival guide".
