On a very special issue published early this week, Portuguese Take Cinema Magazine made a special 37 page article about the last movie decade. Alongside with year-by-year analysis, the magazine collaborators elected Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol.1&2 the best movie of the decade. Among other choices, Philip Seymour Hoffman was considered the best actor of the 00's, Scarlett Johansson the best actress and “Lost” the best television show.

What do you think about Take Cinema Magazine's Best of the Decade list?
Interesting choices. I just don’t get it why they didn’t choose Eastwood for best director (he got 2 movies at their top 10 list).
Totally LOVED the choice for best laugh.
Eastwood should have been named director of the decade. Not only did he direct two of their top 10 movies, but he also directed Mystic River and Letters From Iwo Jima.
