10 Best Films of 2008

Not sure if I agree with this list. I would add:
1. Wall-E
2. Body of Lies
3. Kung-Fu panda
4. Ironman
5. Wanted
6. Horton Hears a Who!
7. Australia
8. Synecoche
9. How to Lose Friends and Alienate People
10. The Dark Knight - of course
[Mama Mia - although I never got to watch it]

Worst films:
Deception, Sweeney Todd, The Boleyn Girl, Bolt...can't remember the others.
'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'

Is there anything even remotely left to write about "The Dark Knight" that hasn't already been salivated over by the great unwashed nation of geeks? A dazzling, applause-worthy crime saga layered inside the bruised carcass of a concentrated superhero distraction, "Knight" found an ideal playground within a beguiling depiction of moral ambiguity, richly drawing from three iconic comic book personalities to sift through lush thematic discussions of honor, insanity, and the true price of justice. A sterling production from a technical standpoint, "Knight" managed to hold its golden pitch when it came time to spill heavy dramatics, taking Batman to a whole new level of multifaceted screenwriting that will be difficult to top in the inevitable next installment.
