Hi Everybody.
Happy New Year — let’s hope it’s a fine ’09!
Forgive me for taking so long to come up with this list of my Top Ten films of 2008. A case of too many films released around the holidays and not enough time to see them — as usual.
1. SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
2. THE WRESTLER
3. GRAN TORINO
4. MAN ON WIRE
5. GOMORRAH
6. SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK
7. FROST/NIXON
8. VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA
9. UN CONTE DE NOEL
10. SOUL POWER
I ALSO THOROUGHLY ENJOYED:
SHINE A LIGHT, ROMAN POLANSKI: WANTED AND DESIRED, MILK, WALTZ WITH BASHIR, L’HEURE D’ETE, RACHEL GETTING MARRIED AND IT MIGHT GET LOUD.
RIP, Ron Asheton — your music lives on!
