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 #9 No Country For Old Men

Another pitch-perfect black comedy/thriller from the Coens

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 #7 Juno

Quirky indie film manna from heaven

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

Films of 2008 #1 Bigger Stronger Faster

Documentary that borrows a lot from Michael Moore's work but thankfully drops the bludgeoning rants that his have become.
