What's so good?
By Philip Friedman | December 18th, 2012
2012 was definitely a year of blockbuster films. We saw movies like The Avengers, The Hunger Games, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Underworld: Awakening entertaining movie-goers with explosions, chase scenes, and suspense.
We also saw the end of The Twilight Saga, Disney going 8-bit on us with Wreck It Ralph, got our fair share of laughs from The Five-Year Engagement, saw Rza enter the movie game, and got a brand-new Oliver Stone film (Savages).
All in all, it was a great year for movies. It was even better for fans with the common interest of music and film, as many of this year’s movies came complete with killer soundtracks that featured some of the best that the indie music world had to offer.
In this playlist, I offer up a few of my favorites. Enjoy, and here’s to a new year filled with even more excellent music and movies.
