		<description><![CDATA[Due to, among other things (laziness, of course, chief among them), a tumultuous work life over the past few months, I&#8217;m doing my now-annual &#8220;best of&#8221; lists at what I consider to be the last minute: the day of the Oscars.  I&#8217;m not too terribly upset with myself about this, though; last year, I [...]]]></description>

An Education



Status: In limited release (opened 10/16/09)
Directed By: Lone Scherfig
Written By: Nick Hornby
Cinematographer: John de Borman
Starring: Carey Mulligan, Peter Sarsgaard, Dominic Cooper, Rosamund Pike, Alfred Molina

Not that the two movies have much in common besides this, but the introductory credits sequence of An Education reminded me of that of Jackie Brown.  Both depict their [...]]]></description>

The Wolfman



Status: In theaters (opened 2/12/10)
Directed By: Joe Johnston
Written By: Andrew Kevin Walker and David Self
Cinematographer: Shelly Johnson
Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt

I suppose it&#8217;s sort of unfair to fault a remake for being unoriginal, but the bottom line with The Wolfman is basically that it feels like every other werewolf movie that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Daybreakers



Status: In theaters (opened 1/8/10)
Directed By: Michael Spierig &#038; Peter Spierig
Written By: Michael Spierig &#038; Peter Spierig
Cinematographer: Ben Nott
Starring: Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill, Claudia Karvan, Willem Dafoe

It&#8217;s not hard to imagine what the initial spark of inspiration for Daybreakers must&#8217;ve been; there have been several releases in recent years that successfully turned the zombie-movie genre [...]]]></description>

Crazy Heart



Status: In limited release (opened 12/16/09)
Directed By: Scott Cooper
Written By: Scott Cooper
Cinematographer: Barry Markowitz
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal

There are some stories that&#8217;re good enough to be told many times without getting old.  Crazy Heart falls into this category; its story is nothing particularly novel, but it&#8217;s told well enough that we don&#8217;t mind [...]]]></description>

A Single Man



Status: In limited release (opened 12/11/09)
Directed By: Tom Ford
Written By: Tom Ford
Cinematographer: Eduard Grau
Starring: Colin Firth, Julianne Moore

You wouldn&#8217;t know it from the cheesy romantic comedies he usually appears in, but Colin Firth is a terrific actor.  Particularly to American audiences, he tends to be billed as a Hugh Grant type&#8212;a snarky, [...]]]></description>

Written By: Michael Robert Johnson and Anthony Peckham and Simon Kinberg
Cinematographer: Philippe Rousselot
Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, Mark Strong

Pre-Sold Franchises&#8212;that&#8217;s what Hollywood execs call a movie that&#8217;s based on an existing property.  The thinking goes that by securing the rights to an already [...]]]></description>

Avatar



Status: In theaters (opened 12/18/09)
Directed By: James Cameron
Written By: James Cameron
Cinematographer: Mauro Fiore
Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang

You wouldn&#8217;t have a very hard time convincing me that Avatar was not, in fact, actually written and directed by James Cameron, but rather by an ambitious fan of his previous films.  That fan [...]]]></description>

In this case, at least, I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m not alone, and the grand declarations of the film&#8217;s importance are mostly due [...]]]></description>
