"2008 was not the banner year that ‘07 turned out to be, but there were still plenty of movies worth watching. Sometimes end-of-year lists look like straight Oscar predictions, with little deviance from critic to critic, not so this year. Some of our favorite stuff was not playing in a theatre near you, some of it was. For the record, our complete lists are after the jump. But first! Wholphin 7 is out now! The geniuses over at McSweeny’s have once again curated a delightful collection of rare and unseen short films. We share our thoughts about a few favorites. One film we both loved, Glory at Sea, is available for free here. (Subscribe to FilmCouch–Spout’s weekly movie podcast–in the iTunes store or to our

"The Telluride Film Festival is what Sundance would be if it took place in heaven. Every year the tiny mountain hamlet hosts four days of hassle-free cinema paradise. There were grumblings about the lack of American films, but we still found plenty to love. Mike Leigh (Secrets and Lies, Vera Drake) came with his delightful new movie, Happy-Go-Lucky. He sat down for a disgruntled yet insightful interview. Paul Schrader (Affliction, Hardcore) seemed as blow away as we were by his latest film, Adam Resurrected, starring Jeff Goldblum.

"Ever since the great Italian director Sergio Leone rode into town, it’s been clear that the Western is not solely the domain of American filmmakers. Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns boosted Clint Eastwood’s career and forever changed the genre. A new film from Korea, what many are calling a Kimchi Western, may change the genre once again. Kim Ji-Woon’s The Good, the Bad, and the Weird is in many ways an homage to Leone’s The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, but is also an excellent example of the energy and originality emerging in Korean cinema. The Good, the Bad, and the Weird, set in Manchuria in the 1930’s, follows the story of three bandits, all in pursuit of map that leads to an untold amount of treasure. Woo-sung Jung (the Good),

"First: two disclaimers. I saw The Good, The Bad, The Weird in South Korea, and though the theater advertised exclusivity on English Subtitles, the film was all in Korean, of which I only understand about 1 word in 20. The film itself had its own disclaimer stating that the visual effects weren't finished, and the credits were in roman characters, so I think it may have been the cut that was screened at Cannes, or a very similar one. The film itself was fantastic. The cinematography was amazing, the action frenetic, the comedy, while low brow, was amusing, and sometimes reminiscent of a children's game called "ddong chim." Not being Korean I can't comment on the plot, though the acting seemed genuine enough. The Good "bastard" was good, the Bad "bastard" was bad and the Weird "bastard" was suitably representative of the Korean idea of crazy. I am also not familiar enough with the actors to say whether the performances stand out from their usual work. The most I can really say ... "
