End of the year is coming

I originally intended to have a post (or three) up by now listing my favorites in movies, music and television for the year. The thing is, since Christmas I have been busy with work, a stack of movies and a mild case of laziness that has kept me from putting the lists together. I’m going to do it, you can count on that – it might not be until a little bit into the new year.

As a little preview, and in an effort to put something here worth reading, I encourage everyone to check out “Eastern Promises.” I finally watched it this morning and it ended up being one of my favorite films of the year.

A look into the Russian mob in London, a compelling story with some twists and turns that make it one of the most compelling mob movies ever. I just picked up “A History of Violence” the Viggo Mortensen / David Cronenberg film that pre-dates Promises. I’ll probably check that one out early this coming week.
