On the Silver Screen- Reflection from The New Yorker

Well, we're back after a long pause caused in part by a four day trip to the windy city, which was not as windy as I expected but it was as cold. Unfortunately, NUTA was not able to visit the many cultural offering that the city had to offer, yet we are sure that it won't be our last time there.

Anyhow, one of my favorite weekly magazines (I must confess that I am not a subscriber anymore) is the New Yorker. Those of you who've had a chance to read The New Yorker know that it offers some of the best writing and investigative reporting out there. Their mid year fiction edition is one of the most anticipated issues for literature lovers everywhere and their regulator contributors are some of the most important figures around.

However, I've always felt that their movie reviews have not always been their strongest feature and it's usually the third or forth option when I am looking to read a bit into a film I am about to watch. Still I found this article in their movie blog about some of their favorite movies of the year. I found four films in the list that I personally like and some options that surprised me, including the Wes Anderson film Fantastic Mr. Fox, which NUTA reviewed last week. So take a look at the article and try to catch some of them before the year is over.
