This Year’s Fictitious BEST and WORST List : On Movies

Took me a while to compile the best and worst picks on movies… and for one reason.  There was just so many to choose from.  Its released so many great titles in the span of a single year, and I could barely believe all those stuff all came from 2008.  Simply Am-a-zing.  I suppose I’ll start the ball rolling with my favorite genre of all…

ACTION

Top Pick:  Taken

Move aside Jack Bauer and Jason Bourne. Liam Neeson just kicked "badass" to a new level.

“I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.”

This Year’s Fictitious BEST and WORST List : On Animation

Unfortunately, people do not look upon animation as a valid source of film masterpieces.  Oh how mistaken they are!  Some of the best works I’ve seen have been released in an animated feature.  When it’s released by Disney, they’d think it was for children and family – when released in anime, they think its too violent and bloody… and in both cases serious respect for an animated feature is absent, and titles such as DBZ and Naruto sure ain’t helping.  But who cares, right?  Well it seems everyone.  Seems they are slowly overcoming their age old indifference to animation.  Matrix and Batman has released their own serious animated features, the most recent: Gotham Knight, has received quite a few praises along the way.  The Japanese release, Sword of the Stranger, has been flooded by praises since day one, and is even being considered for an Academy Award!  Well, all I can say is… Finally!  Here’s my top picks for this year’s animation releases.

This Year’s Fictitious BEST and WORST List : On TV Series

Happy New Year everyone.  The year has ended, and there has been so many incredible (and not-so-incredible) shows that’s been released this year.  There are record-breakers and heart-breakers, series that make you cry out of awe and series that make you cry out of its awfulness.  Most New Year people like to list many things, from new year resolutions to new year gift ideas or the listing the last few seconds left from 2008 as it gives birth to 2009…  So I said, WTH, might as well.

With no further ado… Lets start with a quick listing of the best among the 2008 TV Series…
