It may be too early for me to declare my favorite movie of the year, what with some blockbusters coming out shortly. I also didn't see too many movies this past year...not as many as I would have liked, anyway.

But I'll have to say that my personal favorite as of right now is also on AFIs list so I don't feel too off base.

The movie I enjoyed the most of the ones I saw this past year was Frida. It may have been, in part, because when Luke & I were in NYC in September attending the New Yorker Festival, we were able to see Julie Taymor. In my opinion she's a genius! Soon after seeing her speak, we went to see The Lion King at the New Amsterdam. Again, I was overwhelmed. I'm not that much into musicals, but this was way beyond that.

Given my newly found admiration of Taymor's work, I was very anxious to see Frida, and I'll have to say that I wasn't let down. The performances were fantastic! The story was interesting! And, once again, I was bowled over by Taymor's ability to bring art to life!

Of the upcoming movies, though, I'll have to say that About Schmidt might make me change my mind. Jack Nicholson's always a favorite with me.

But at the end of the day (year), I'm thinking I'll still like Frida best!
