Just so I don't forget - Alex Billington lists the best 19 movies you didn't see in 2007. I've watched three from this list - Grindhouse, Lookout and The Host - and liked them, more or less. I think I should watch the rest too. And oh, maybe add Once and Juno as well.

Movies: Taare Zameen Par, Ratatouille, The Rules of the Game, Knocked Up, Grindhouse

Books: We Need to Talk About Kevin, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, The Mahabharatha: A Modern Rendering, From Hell

Happy New Year, everyone.

Slant magazine has a pretty good list of their top 10 movies of 2007 here. Don't miss the 'Superlatives' section towards the end.

I haven't watched a single film from those lists yet - my must-watch list grows longer and longer, sad to say.

As for my most anticipated movie of 2008....

Pretty good list, for anyone interested in movies. His blog should be on your reading list too.

Time magazine has put up their top 100 books here. I've read only 24 of them, not good. On the silver lining side, there's a lot of good reading to look forward to.
