Wait, whose top 10 is this--Ebert or Tom O'Neill's?

Seriously, around this time of the year Ebert transforms from a critic who appeals to cinephiles and the common man into a regular awards pundit. He should just start a blog.

I've already blogged about Juno, No Country for Old Men and Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, which just leaves La Vie en rose, a seriously depressing ride on the misery express. I haven't seen the rest, and don't know if I want to.

Didn't think too much of Juno or Away From Her. Loved No Country For Old Men. I'll probably rentAtonement and Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, haven't really heard much about La Vie en Rose, and I have no interest in the others.
