Best of the Year: Film (Part 1)

Living out here in the boonies, the choice for best film of the year always poses some perplexing issues. Our film selection is generally limited and the films that do get here take weeks, if not months. Last year, I waited a couple of weeks after the new year to choose my top films. So, I had a chance to see Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth before making my choices. Children of Men was easily my top film last year.

So, this year we have yet to see I'm Not There or There Will Be Blood. Of the top ten films on Modern Fabulousity, for example, five have yet to arrive within an hour of here. No Country for Old Men opened this week, as did Juno. My reviews of those two films will be posted in the next couple of days.

I've decided to wait one more week to post my best film entry. Rumor has it we'll be getting a few new films this week that have made it to a number of 10-best lists. In the meantime, I'll be posting my reviews of the films I have seen over the last week and a half. Stay tuned
