Best of 2008...So Far

Given that 2007 was one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, it would be hard for 2008 to measure up. Even so, this first half of the year has yielded an especially weak line-up, my favorite of which are ranked below (and linked to the review).

1. Priceless
2. Wall E
3. Forgetting Sarah Marshall
4. In Bruges
5. Iron Man
6. The Orphanage
7. Baby Mama

Some others that might be decent, but I haven't been able to see yet are: The Fall, The Visitor, Young at Heart, Redbelt, Stop Loss, Bigger Strong Faster, Mongol, Shine a Light and 21. I count Counterfeiters as a 2007 movie, otherwise it would be #1. Another opinion.

In Bruges is pretty great, but loses some of its luster in the third act. Great writing until then. Farrell's best performance.
