This week we're taking a step back to take a brief look at one of last year's high-profile releases (Peter Jackson's "The Lovely Bones," finally playing wide release), but in the coming weeks we'll start in on the films of the new year, beginning with the God-goes-nuts actioner "Legion" (if they actually make this work, I'll be amazed) and the Gibson-goes-nuts actioner "Edge of Darkness."

Also, my recently published ranking of the past decade's best films was largely well-received, although it also created a few more waves than I anticipated.
