If you didn't see Tell No One in the theater last year, go out and immediately buy or rent the best movie released in the U.S. in 2008. Rarely does a film set up such a fantastical premise and deliver on it so perfectly. Slumdog Millionaire never deserved the mini-backlash it received. Based on its kinetic cinematography alone, it was one of the best films of the year. Sure, Dev Patel's performance was a little flat (ok, very flat), but Freida Pinto was absolutely luminous and the child actors were a revelation. As for Marley & Me and Seven Pounds...skip and skip. Spend your money on the great Leonard Cohen or any of these comedy specials.

If you are a horror fan then today may as well be Christmas as a smorgasbord of gooey, pulpy offerings drop on an unsuspecting public. The After Dark Horrorfest may not be catching on in theaters after three lackluster years, but it's a perfect DVD fix for a home-based film festival. I'm not the biggest fan of Troma -- how much mileage can you really get out of kitsch? -- but I'll always be a huge fan of Lloyd Kaufman's moxie. Bollywood horror? Who knew? I'm not sure which will be scarier: watching Cthulhu or watching Tori Spelling try to act. If you want a good laugh, click on The Sinful Dwarf link below. You'll see why very, very quickly.
