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
Grey's Anatomy might have gone a little nutso this season, but that doesn't mean I wasn't watching every episode. From the trip to dermatology to the departure of Hahn to the introduction of ghost sex, I couldn't take my eyes off the show. How about you? Take my quiz!

Nip/Tuck: Season Five
Season five finds Sean McNamara and Christian Troy making the leap from Miami to Los Angeles. While the new city provides a welcome change of scenery, the satisfaction is for the viewer only as business isn't exactly booming at the McNamara/Troy office. In fact, the two men find themselves without any clients at all and must resort to hiring a publicist to get their practice rolling. The publicist (played by Lauren Hutton) tells the duo that they must perform surgery on celebrities to create buzz. Guest actors that pop up in this DVD include Portia de Rossi and Oliver Platt.
Special features include unaired scenes and a gag reel titled "Severed Parts."
Writers' strike aside, 2008 turned out to be a pretty great year for TV. I've already told you about my favorite characters and favorite episodes of the year, and today I've got a list of my 10 favorite shows. Of course, many more shows than just these kept me laughing and occasionally sobbing all year long — I could have had a nine-way tie for 10th place — but ultimately, these are the 10 that stand out in my mind the most as the best of 2008. Want to see my list? Just hit "Start."
