I am probably the worst person to do this, since I rarely see movies in the theaters
and when I do, they are invariably kid movies that usually don't make anyone's ten
best list. This year, however, I can say that
Wall-E is deservedly on that list with
stunning animation and a surprisingly sophisticated and progressive underlying message.
I just saw
The Dark Knight on DVD, and thought that with the exception of Heath
Ledger's performance, the movie was really overrated. I really enjoyed seeing Milk
it's really uncanny how well Sean Penn has channeled Harvey Milk. And although not
on this list, just from word of mouth from people whose opinions I respect, I'm
also looking forward to the DVD release of
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and
Doubt.
My list of favorite films of 2008 (in alphabetic order): The Diving Bell and the
Butterfly; Gone Baby Gone; In Bruges; Iron Man;( for effects only, way too
america propaganda for my liking) Mamma Mia Persepolis; Taxi to the
Dark Side; The Visitor and Wall-E.
