Another year, another bunch of on- and off-set drama at Grey's Anatomy. This year, the show really took things to a new level, with stars complaining about their material, sudden departures, and the return of a ghostly lover. Can you handle a flashback through the twists and turns of the year? To relive the highlights of this biggest headline of '08, just hit "Start."
Doubt is a tense, thought-provoking and incredibly well-written play, and it must be difficult to adapt such a dense play for the big screen. With a play there's the understanding that we're somewhat confined in terms of location and there's often a lot of talking and emoting. The film adaptation of Doubt is pretty much entirely talking and emoting. It's not that that's a bad thing, per se, it's just that it requires a bit more wrangling of the ol' attention span than most movies require. In some ways, I'm not completely sure why it was adapted for the big screen, except to cement in cinematic history these exceptional performances by some of today's Hollywood giants.
There's nothing visually interesting about it (at all), though surely the visuals aren't the focus here. The exploration of what's moral and good, which sin is greater than another sin, and the back-and-forth dance of trust and suspicion — these are central to the story that Doubt attempts to tell. But it is, well, a lot of talking. It's often absorbing because these actors so expertly guide us through the narrative, but it might take a particularly patient modern-day moviegoer to enjoy this movie.

In my Best of 2008 polls for Comedic Actress and Comedic Actor you told me who had you in stitches this year (and a little bit about who did not). The votes are in and we have some winners! This year's best funny movie people are. . .
It has been an excellent year for my comedic heroine, Tina Fey. She and Amy Poehler (who came in second place in the poll) made a very funny movie, and Fey's TV comedy 30 Rock swept the Emmys. I love this era of Fey goodness, and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us in 2009. Yay Fey!
After Poehler came Elizabeth Banks in third place. Write-ins include Kristen Wiig and Kristen Bell, among others.
