Best film of year not yet here
The year in film. Hmmm. Consider this: the best film of the year hasn't yet opened here.

Hits and duds
We've got a bit of Survivor in us, coming out alive after a TV season of conniving hits and big misses (oh, Brother).

Pop goes the old year
From the best to the worst, a pop critic's gotta do what a pop critic's gotta do.

Artful shows
What sizzled and what fizzled in the local art scene this year had a lot to do with planning and execution.

Listen to changes
World radio has arrived. But even as we listen to sounds from around the world, we tune in to the continuing saga of comings and goings in our own market.

Wrapping up the year that was
New highs (the Harry Potter frenzy), new lows (butterfly ballots) and all that's in between as 2000 nears its end.

We guarantee this might happen
Trends for 2001 can't be any more weird than what has happened this past year. Or can they?

A little risk taking
If new work is any measure of vitality, then 2000 was a good year in the Tampa Bay area -- maybe one of the best ever.

A lunchtime go-between
In my middle school, everything revolved around the lunch period. All the gossip, smooching, playing and fighting happened during lunch. It was a time for eating, but more important, it was 30 minutes of freedom.
