2008: a Weekly Keith year in review.

Hey all,

2008, a long year. Full of lots of adventures, parties, and all around skulduggery (awesome word, I don't know what it means, but I think it fits). There was a new president elected. But more importantly, there were some cool movies, so first order of business....

TOP TEN MOVIES OF 2008

1. The Dark Knight (Christopher Nolan)

2. The Wrestler (Darren Aronofsky)

3. WALL-E (Andrew Stanton)

4. In Bruges (Martin McDonagh)

5. Iron Man (Jon Favreau)

6. Standard Operating Procedure (Errol Morris)

7. Burn After Reading (Joel and Ethan Coen)

8. Pineapple Express (David Gordon Green)

9. Synecdoche, New York (Charlie Kaufman)

10. Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Guillermo Del Toro)

Honorable Mentions: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Tropic Thunder, The Ruins, Role Models, Frost/Nixon

Of course, this is the most important top ten list you will read, because I know all, and my opinion is gold.

Other Keith awards...

Best music record: Austrian Death Machine - Total Brutal...You have to listen to this record. Even if you don't like metal, you will like this. All the songs are about Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's awesome.

Best non-music record: Didn't listen to any.

Best book: Didn't read any new ones. I did re-read a couple Stephen King books...umm, so they were good.

Best place to eat: Eagles Deli. Awesome, humongous burgers...with bacon.

Best blog: The Weekly Keith.

Least favorite moment: Actually happened in '09, but I'm bitter...The Colts choke...again. It's funny that the only year I think they have no chance they win the super bowl. Every other year they let me down. They are like an awesome steak dinner that you chow down on, and then you find a used band-aid in the last bite...sorry, that even grossed me out.

OK, I'm done blabbing. Post your top ten lists, or other miscellany. I look forward to arguing with you.
