TV Moments of 2008 #10 Wrestlemania - Flair vs Michaels
Not the best match, but one hell of an occasion. The ending was a bit Brokeback Mountain, yet somehow right
TV Moments of 2008 #9 Who Do You Think You Are? Jerry Springer
This just kept getting more and more depressing and the show progressed as the producers seemed determined to break Springer
TV Moments of 2008 #8 Summer Heights High - The Musical
This mockumentary is sometimes bad taste but always a good show
TV Moments of 2008 #6 The Shield - The Final Episode
This finale was awesome in all different kinds of way, tying up enough loose ends to avoid a Sopranos cop-out but leaving the viewer wanting more. The shocking end to Shane's story left me speechless. Amazing stuff.
TV Moments of 2008 #3 Dexter
Season 3 suffered from seemingly forgetting it was only 12 episodes long and having to cram loads in the last 2 episodes after a beautiful slow-building rivalry between Dexter and Prado had been set out over the previous 10.
TV Moments of 2008 #1 Charlie Brooker on The X Factor
Okay I could've phrased the title better.
Once again Charlie Brooker sums up the mood of all right-thinking angry people in the nation. In other Screenwipe business I'm not sure I'll ever forget the sight of Konnie Huq with she-wee

Films of 2008 #10 There Will Be Blood
The first time it confused the hell out of me, but on repeated viewings you come to appreciate the genius of it.
Films of 2008 #8 The King of Kong
Will Ferrell's been on auto-pilot for a while, but this doc serves up a plot so tailor made for him he'd barely have bother writing a script.
Films of 2008 #5 High School Musical 3
Even a cyncical fool like me can't deny how much fun the High School Musical films are, but could've done without the shoehorning in of the future spin off characters.
Films of 2008 #6 Joy Division
The Joy Division story in any form always makes for a compelling watch.
Films of 2008 #4 The Dark Knight
The film isn't as good as the hype would have you believe, but Ledger's performance is.
Films of 2008 #3 Cloverfield
Some wondered if this would work as well on DVD. I say yes as you can skip all that shit in the 15 minutes and get right to the good stuff.
Films of 2008 #2 Burn After Reading
Underwhelming reviews from critics as it wasn't No Country For Old Men, but this was still the best comedy of the year
