Got Milk? I'll Take Vicky and Cristina in Barcelona! My Faves From '08
It suddenly occurred to me just before I started grinding out my year-end summaries and 10-best lists that I have been engaged in this activity for a very long time. If my increasingly faulty memory is correct, this marks the 50th anniversary of my published 10-best lists, dating back to Jonas Mekas’ Movie Journal in The Village Voice sometime in 1958 or 1959 for the New York releases of 1958. Mr. Mekas kindly offered the hospitality of his column to a few of his colleagues, of whom I was one, even though

The media world rarely pays attention, but The Golden Globes nominations often serve as a better predictor of Emmy success than Oscar -- recognizing new programs and performers with a speed that usually eludes the Emmy academy.In years past, that meant actors such as 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin and Mad Men's Jon Hamm got a Globe nod before Emmy learned their name. When nominations were revealed this morning, struggling dramas such as HBO's in Treatment and True Blood nabbed major acting nods, despite sometimes

Jon Chattman: Analyzing the Best Films of 2008 and \"the Urinefactor\"
I remember one-and-a-half hours into 2008's biggest hit and best film The Dark Knight, I had to go to the bathroom. After holding it for another 30 minutes, I pounded my fist on the stadium-seated armrest, and literally ran out of the IMAX screening. I wasn't alone. Right behind me was another Man who made his way to the mens' room (thankfully not the same stall). Our eyes met as I held the door for him, and for a fleeting moment, our eyes met in the bathroom mirror. We both grinned, and he said very quick
