Both Boston Globe critics on the front page of Sunday's year-end review had Wall-E at the top of their personal top ten. Which I have to agree with... though I didn't see many movies this year.

I'm not sure which I'd favor, of the four I admired. I'm still trying to figure out aspects of Doubt--I think it might get a bounce because I haven't, I'll likely be disappointed with what it's exactly saying when I zero in on it. Burn After Reading was enormously impressive but not always pleasant. Recount is very, very well done and brought on purifying outrage. While Wall-E's really fun.
