MSN. "Moments Out of Time."

Sean Axmaker's alerted me to this, so I'll let him tell it: "Richard Jameson and Kathleen Murphy have revived their annual 'Moments Out of Time' feature (created decades ago in Movietone News and carried over the Jameson years of Film Comment) for MSN."

A sample of one of my favorites (and from one of my favorite films of the year, too): "In The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, the pebbles sliding away from the vibrating rail as Jesse's boot rests there, waiting to stop his last train."

While you're there, you'll notice MSN Movies' Top Ten poll. Lead Editor Dave McCoy has tossed his ballot in with those of nine contributors and notes:

Three interesting things happened. First, 49 films received votes, proving that this year's Oscar race is wide open. Second, this isn't something a cranky critic writes very often, but 2007 was a damn fine, rich year for movies. In fact, although we're only highlighting the top 10 films here, 15 to 20 films came within a point or two of making the list. Third, despite this year's abundance of great films, one title steamrolled the competition for the top slot, earning 106 out of a possible 120 points.

And Sean lists his top DVDs of the year.
