Unlike last Fall, when House gave us a whole bunch of new characters, this season has been spent on developing House's relationships with the PPH crew. Thirteen dealt with her Huntington's diagnosis, Wilson moved on after Amber's death, House and Cuddy took their flirting a little further, and Kutner and Taub . . . were still around. How closely were you paying attention? Take my quiz!

Among all the great entertainment in 2008, a few people clearly stood out, including the beautiful and funny Elizabeth Banks. Why was this year good for Elizabeth Banks? Because she was everywhere.
The woman was in six — count 'em, six! — movies that were released this year. Some were ridiculous and silly (Meet Dave with Eddie Murphy, Meet Bill with Aaron Eckhart, Role Models with Paul Rudd) while one was ridiculous and raunchy (Zack and Miri Make a Porno alongside Seth Rogen). She got to be in the sweet movie Definitely, Maybe with Ryan Reynolds, and she did a serious Laura Bush impersonation, with Josh Brolin as her George, in Oliver Stone's W. And in just a few weeks we'll see her play a freaky stepmother in the scary movie The Uninvited.
She's got range and beauty and crazy comedic skills, and I wish every year could bring us this much Elizabeth Banks.

While there are several runners-up to this list (like, say,
Speed Racer and
Nights in Rodanthe), these are the five movies during which I seriously considered leaving the theater. Big ol' thumbs down, if I may borrow the gesture from Mr. Ebert. To see which five I picked, hit "Start."

Based on the bestselling novel by Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as a young woman who tries to commit suicide, only to end up in a mental institution with a weakened heart and five days left to live.
The trailer is actually quite artful and lovely. There's little dialogue, mostly it's just beautifully sad, evocative images and music to go along with them.
The only release date information I can find is "March 2009." To check out the trailer and let me know what you think, read more
