The Films of Paul Thomas Andersonnew
Screening all of Anderson's feature-length films in order was something I'd never done, but in anticipation of his latest, There Will Be Blood, I started with Hard Eight, then hit Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and Punch-Drunk Love.

The 2007 Movie Reviewnew
I did give three stars to numerous movies. Four stars would require the return of someone dead: Altman perhaps, or Kubrick or Truffaut or Buñuel.

The best supporting actors have said there's little more satisfying than working in concert with a well-oiled ensemble. And little more fun to watch, which is why a package deal and a duet top my list of the best supporting actors of 2007.

The Better Than Listnew
End of the year movie polls used to offer consensus; now they preserve film culture's herd-mentality. But anyone who responds to movies for what they mean -- instead of the way they are sold -- must depart the herd. That's how to find good, unheralded (often derided) films that don't insult the intelligence.
