2012 in Review... now all in one place!

All of my 2012 in film retrospective essays in one convenient location.  This includes the six 'best/worst' movie lists, the three trend pieces from the last couple months, and the two 'good movies news in 2012' pieces that I wrote back in June which darn-sure still applied over the rest of the year.  Please share, comment, and enjoy.
