- Nicolette Sheridan does not look over-Botoxed with fish lips!

No don't worry. Gothamist doesn't plan to subject you to yet another film Top 10 list. If you want a good ... uhm ... "overview" of this year's Top 10 lists, you might want to check-out The Reeler's Top 10 Top 10 lists. (Nos. 10-6 appeared yesterday. The top five went up this morning.) If you're looking for something more traditional, you should probably look at 's Take 7 film critics poll.

It's all about Brokeback these days: This morning, Kate Beckinsale, Mark Wahlberg, and Steve Carrell announced the 63rd Annual Golden Globe nominations, and Brokeback Mountain walked away with 7 nominations, including Best Picture (Drama), Director, Actor, Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams). Match Point, the unreleased Woody Allen movie, also got nods in Picture and Director, plus Supporting Actress Scarlett Johnanssen. As for the TV nominations, the ladies of Wisteria Lane took four leading actress nominations, giving Weeds' Mary Louise Parker a good shot of winning, though Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross were fierce this year. We do want to say this, though: Kristen Bell, you were robbed!

came out at over Labor Day weekend, we instantly called it one of the year's best. We'll stand by that judgment, and although the film has departed from general release nor will it be available on DVD until Jan. 10, if you haven't seen it, we enthusiastically suggest you make your way out to Astoria tonight for a 7:30 PM special screening at Museum of the Moving Image. But we wouldn't tell you to trek to Queens and spend $12 ($8 for MMI members) just to see a movie that you could otherwise be Netflixing in about six weeks. We would tell you to trek and pay, however, for something Netflix can't give you (at least not yet; who knows what those whacky DVD renters are cooking up next): director Fernando Meirelles and star Rachel Weisz live and in person. And don't worry, they won't just wave at you and leave. They'll both be around after the screening for one of MMI's notable Pinewood Dialogues. If the director and star can brave a night in Queens, why can't you? For more information, visit the MMI website or call 718/784-4520.

It's Labor Day which means the "official" (if not the technically scientific) summer is coming to and end. No more summer Fridays and no more outdoor Summer film series. After this year's (dare-we-say unwarranted) freak-out about box office grosses, Hollywood studios are likely happy to close the book on the season. Labor Day weekend is notoriously weak for the box office, therefore, we're not generally treated to anything good. In fact, the major studios think of this holiday weekend (and much of September) as a bit of a dumping ground. However, there's still plenty to see in and around New York, and although most people are probably trying to find their way out of town, that should just make it easier for you to score a seat in your favorite air-conditioned movie theatre.
