Turan’s Picks

Kenneth Turan lists his favorite movies of the year and mentions “ ‘Show Me Love,’ from Denmark” (“A Dramatic and Very Animated Time,” Dec. 26). Oops! The movie happens to be from Sweden, but of course, Europe is just one big blob and Scandinavia likewise.

Oh, if only I had a dollar for every time a geography-challenged American asked me, “So, you’re Danish--I guess you speak Dutch, right?”

If Kenneth Turan believes “Princess Mononoke” worthy of the No. 1 slot on his best films of the year (an opinion with which I heartily concur), then why on Earth doesn’t it get a star in your “Now Playing” listings?
