UPDATED 2008: A Rundown (so far)

I've added David Fincher's resonant, beautiful, epic masterpiece, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (****), although it's fighting with "The Dark Knight" for the top spot and its placement may change, by the time my top ten is published on Wednesday. On another note, I've ultimately decided not to see "The Spirit" on Monday and will just end my 2008 movie-going experience this weekend. My Year in Review articles are under way. I've also added the other films I've seen since last Friday: "Valkyrie" (***), "Australia" (***), "Yes Man" (***), "Bedtime Stories" (***), and "Seven Pounds" (**1/2).
