My Favourite Albums and Movies of 2008

With 2008 in the past, it's time to check out the best albums and movies in 08.
My favourite album of the year was Less Than Jake's GNV FLA. With a slew of solid songs, this was easily my pick. My favourite songs is defiantly "Conviction Notice".

Alkaline Trio's Agony and Irony rounds up second place. They moved to a major label with this album, and it worked alright for them. "Love Love Kiss Kiss" and "Do You Wanna Know" are my favourite songs.

Ben Fold's Way To Normal picks up third place. Songs For Silverman was a bit slow and lacked his famous energy he so often puts forward, but with Way To Normal, he lets loose. "Hiroshima", "Bitch Went Nutz" and "You Don't Know Me" are some of the gems.

As for movies I only have two favourite films.
The Dark Knight was absolutely amazing. Heath Ledger played one of the greatest villains of all time. His character knew how to psychologically twist you into a pretzel you didn't think could happen.

WALL-E places second. It has a great message, and a robot love story. The art was upped by Pixar, and I just loved it. They never cease to amaze me.
