A Top 10 I wish was mine

For those who wonder why film criticism is important. Rarely have I read an elegiac ode to movies that is more passionate, more heartfelt, or more whip smart than what the good folks over at the AV Club have cooked up for this year's review. I've always been jealous of their ability to reduce a movie to cinders in three paragraphs, and now I have to be jealous of their ability to suffuse film criticism with imaginative joy as well.
