The award season has officially concluded and we celebrate spring with a new crop of film titles. Regardless of the fact that I have yet to make any serious headway with my 2012 film picks (really... my progress is abysmal), I look forward to another new batch of films (that I hopefully can watch in a more timely manner).
In keeping with my goal of catching up with my viewing and reading lists, I'll dispense with my usual musings about the upcoming titles that I've listed as part of my 2013 spring film picks and go watch/read something.
Again, the dates listed below are the US release dates. Film buffs in the Philippines can check Click the City for local listings.
