I said it back in May, and it's still true as the year winds down:
Judd Apatow is everywhere. The man whom the Los Angeles Times named "the mayor of comedy" had two of the Summer movie season's biggest hits, signed on for several more highly anticipated projects, had a New York Times Magazine cover story all about him, and generally became a household name — not bad for a self-described schlub in an unglamorous polo shirt. Want to reminisce about Apatow's big year?

This month I've been polling you guys on everything from who you think the
best breakout TV star is to which on-screen
movie romance you think was the
best of 2007. Now lets see which actors, movies, albums, and TV shows earned the top honors. Drumroll please .

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and
Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in
What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the following movie picks, the
sixth season of 24 is now on DVD if you wish to relive that particular experience.

The Jodie Foster/Terrence Howard thriller
The Brave One reached the
No. 1 spot at the box office over a relatively slow weekend, bringing in approximately $14 million. Variety
reports that the main audience for the film was older women, and that its continued success will depend on whether men will be drawn to see it as well.

I wasn't the only moviegoer
wowed by the remake of the Western
3:10 to Yuma this weekend as the movie
took the No. 1 spot at the box office. According to
Variety, the film "appealed primarily to men over 25" but, um, I'm pretty sure there was plenty there for the ladies to enjoy as well.
