The High Hat, a web-based quarterly journal of arts and cultural criticism with which the Screengrab just so happens to share some personnel, has posted a special supplement featuring its top tens of the year, and of particular interest to readers of this site is the fact that the lists are very film-intensive, with special attention paid to the question of whether or not 2007 actually lives up to the hype that it's one of the best movie years on record. Absolutely, says CalArts film professor and writer Gary Mairs; sort of, says my Face/Off sparring partner Phil Nugent; not really, says cinephile and freewheeling critic George Wu; no freakin' way, says movie janitor/"Bottom Shelf" auteur Scott von Doviak. As for me, I was too busy listening to metal to pay attention.
