Ledger continues to sketch an indelible portrait. | Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers For an unprecedented fourth week in a row, The Dark Knight fought its way to the top of the box office heap ($26M/$441.5M).

Will? Please make Anchorman 2 while you still can! | Photo courtesy of New Line Cinemas I'll say it right off--I am a big Will Ferrell fan.

Our pals at Londonist are the first to jump on the orgy of Best Of lists, so heres what they have to say... A list for LA? Got to be film related, but because we don't have a film industry anymore I've had to alternate between a great flick of 2006 (with a British connection) and an associated great Brit. Don't worry you'll see what I mean. So in reverse order: 10 - Steve......

In between an Angie Dickinson double feature last night, the woman herself made an appearance and answered questions from a hoarde of enthusiastic male fans. At 75, the woman still has it; heck, she doesn't look a day over 50. (she may have had work done, but it's exceptionally good work). The one-time Police Woman was charming and forthcoming.
