Hunger, by Steve McQueen.








Best film debut of 2008, and one of the best films of the last 12 months. See it.

Ouch!

And now, for a movie that is longer than the life it documents, I present to you Steven Soderbergh's Che!

Napoleon Dynamite as filtered through the twisted mind of Christopher Guest

Giddyup!

The most disturbing of the supporting characters in The Office, and one of the reasons the American version of the show is actually better than the still very, very good British version.

Speaking of genius, the brilliant work of Andrew Sachs anchors so much of the series great comic moments. Not since Shylock hath there been a character so abused...

Apparently twitdom is not restricted to the upper classes in Python-ville.

The genius that is John Cleese. Greatest sitcom of all time.

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues...

Best Performance of 2008? While Streep is without peer among this generation of actors, and she gives a stellar performance in Doubt, Rourke's is certainly the most physically convincing performance of the year. One of the greatest ever, really.

He will be missed...by Jon Stewart at least.
