THE BEST FILMS OF 2005! The Village Voice offers the results of its film critics' poll. How many of the Top 10 did you see? How many of the Top 10 did anyone see? This year's best movie list is next year's video list.
SCAT, CATS! Scanning the list of long-running shows at Playbill.com, you can see that Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera is about to overtake Cats as the top of the Broadway list. Still haven't seen it myself.

Those are some doozies. One that I think we'll hear a lot of in 2006 is the term "We're making progress." coming from the usual suspects in DC. Of course, it won't be attached to anything specific and measurable, making it a bunch of spin.
I saw 7 of the Top 20, which seems a tad low, considering that I watched a lot of good movies. My sub-list, then:
A History of Violence
The Squid & the Whale
Bareback Mountain
Capote
Mysterious Skin^
My Summer of Love^
Land of the Dead
^ - on DVD
thanks for commenting on my piece. I have a different day job now.
