In just two-and-a-half weeks, Avatar is the fourth-highest grossing film of all time worldwide.

Pardon the obvious tardiness, but as often occurs, life got in the way. So, no more procrastination, here are my favorite films of the just finished year.

With $1.33 billion in the worldwide bank, Avatar is just over $500 million away from breaking Titanic's seemingly unsinkable $1.8 billion record.

Deciding that he'd rather make no Spider-Man film than make a bad one, Sam Raimi has walked off the project and Toby Maguire has followed him.

IMAX has finally confirmed that Jon Favreau's Iron Man sequel will be debuting on May 7th in both regular 35mm and IMAX formats.

Avatar has topped the $500 million mark in just 32 days, twelve days less than The Dark Knight's milestone. At this rate, it will sail past Titanic's $600 million domestic gross.

Yup, Kevin Greutert is being hired to helm the franchise that defeated his own franchise, while David Heckl is being brought back to take over the Saw series, which he more or less killed via a terrible fourth sequel.

The big engine that could took in $36 million for a record sixth weekend. Internationally, it's just $68 million away from Titanic's seemingly insurmountable $1.842 billion record. Wow... just wow.

In the end, Legion is a cheap B-horror thriller with the requisite religious overtones. Whatever it lacks in production values, it makes up for with solid acting by a better than expected cast.

I was sure it would never be done in my lifetime.  I called in the 'Joe DiMaggio 56-game hitting streak' of box office records.  But it h...

Don't be surprised if Iron Man 2 makes a last-minute 3D switch to compliment its IMAX release, as well as pretty much every action/adventure tent-pole you can think of for the next few years.

Second place went to the Mel Gibson comeback vehicle Edge of Darkness. This is his lowest opening since Braveheart back in May 1995. Of course, he's had some major PR problems in the last eight years.
