2011 was a volley of disappointment, for the most part, as the  furry-browed Elliott Gould was nowhere to be found. Michael Sheen failed  to have a starring role as an English Prime Minister. And Melanie  Laurent was only in one movie. I couldn&#8217;t even, reasonably, compile a  top ten list of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following individuals are, from what I can tell, the best candidates to get dolled up, slouch around, behave cantankerously while at the bejeweled ceremony of the Oscars. Some celebrities didn&#8217;t make the cut, unfortunately, but here are the notable mentions: Gary Busey&#8217;s hair, Judge Reinhold in a jogging suit, my neighbor&#8217;s dog, a bowl [...]]]></description>

Andrew Kenny&#8217;s achingly ethereal voice whittles away your preconceptions about what a band, emotionally, is capable of doing. The singer-songwriter has been a workhorse when it comes to traveling coast-to-coast &#8211; he has done it practically nonstop &#8211; throughout his career; if you tracked the flight lines across the United States it would look like [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Shock Corridor&#8221; buzzes and snaps, jostles your cerebral cortex and plays dominos with your expectations. In this monochrome world where sweat is the dew of molting sanity, Sam Fuller pumps the tires of this movie with characters that I wouldn’t expect to see in 2010, let alone 1963. The stogie chomping auteur really let the [...]]]></description>

When you search for Brian Cox&#8217;s name on Google, the first name rolls out of the engine, like some sort of binary die, is a British particle physicist of unknown importance.

Guy Maddin&#8217;s &#8220;Brand Upon the Brain!&#8221; is an abyss of frayed memories and curled echoes. A film where sight and sound, when being rapped against one another like chalkboard erasers, create enigmatic plumes of mystery. And in this world where each frame is smudged with charcoal fingerprints and squid-like ink, Katherine E. Scharhon holds onto [...]]]></description>

Charlie Sheen’s bourbon-soaked maw seems to affix itself to the pages of every entertainment rag. The actor has become a dystopian hellhound on wheels, cruising across America like a pull-string doll spurting out catchphrases. Sheen’s one-liners are like baseball cards on the spokes of everyone’s bicycles &#8211; or Facebook pages these days &#8211; and I [...]]]></description>

Has someone pierced a rainbow with a buck knife? Why are colors jetting from the screen like a severed artery? There are too many pastels everywhere!

Commentary by Robert Patrick
&#8220;The Thin Red Line&#8221; is a lyrical catwalk onto a barren shore. The film is nourished by ideas, the indemnity of foreclosed dreams, the artifice of young wisdom. James Jones, the author of the book on which the film was based, hated war films, for the most part, giving them short shrift [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2010 was a mixed bag: half of the movies were awful, the other half were mediocre. I couldn&#8217;t even chisel out a top ten (I could force myself to compile one, but then I would be more of a disingenuous hack than I already am). The following movies, whether good or bad, were the most eventful [...]]]></description>
