2012’s first big surprise is Chronicle, a mostly ingenious mash-up of a superhero origin story and a found footage stunt.  It’s not a perfect film, but the inventiveness on display is pretty galvanizing, especially for a genre that’s always runs the risk of blockbuster bloat.  Also this week over on TWoP, I made my official Oscar predictions.  Only three weeks to go until the big night!
