So, as the year comes to an end, the NYFCO releases their top films list. (I linked them all up to cin-o-matic.) To be blunt: There Will Be Blood has robbed the show, and I really cannot wait for it - my top ten list will probably come out after watching Persepolis and that film; in the meantime, I am working on a few more reviews before the year ends. A great selection of some of the best films of the year are available over at Slant, and it was released today: 2007 Year in Film
