King for a lifetime, fool for a... lifetime...

Well, by all accounts, its been a pretty down year. But like any other, there are always a few gems. Some of the critics groups have already announced their winners. The Golden Globe nominees are out -- even if they are empty. The National Board of Review named Finding Neverland the best film of the year -- what a joke. I've already got a rough top ten in my head, but I still have about three or four movies I'd like to see before I set it. Of course, it's folly to make a top ten list because your opinions of the films will forever be changing. Still, I need to at least see The Aviator, Million Dollar Baby, Hotel Rwanda, and Ray before I can make up my mind. Ebert put up his best and worst list which I always find interesting if for no other reason than I think he's the best film reviewer in the country.
