Thrice annually, the filmmaker Taylor “T” Sardoni announces his twenty most anticipated films for the upcoming season to my email inbox. In December, he anoints his Spring 20. In May, his Summer, and, as has been the case for the past six years, in August, his Fall. These are Taylor “T” Sardoni’s Most Anticipated films for the Fall of 2012, listed chronologically by release date. I intend to see them all, advise you to as well. If you find yourself shortsighted or short on time, funds, sanity, I’ve attached a useful addendum placing Taylor “T”‘s Twenty in ordinal rank by expected quality, with expected quality (EQ) quantified by this equation:
EQ=2W+1.75D+1.5(1/4(A+B+C+D))+Road House
Where W=Quality of Writer out of 10
D=Quality of Director out of 10
A,B,C,D=Quality of Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress out of 10
Road House=Road House
