Perhaps Fearing Being Canned, <em>Chron</em> Film Critic Mick LaSalle Already Doing His Decade Best List

It's April, the eve of 150 pink slips over the old Faded Floozy (a.k.a. The Chronicle), and film critic Mick LaSalle has decided to get a jump start on his critic compatriots with a Best of the Aughts list just in case he's slated to get the boot before year's end. Among the honorees: Meg Ryan career-killing vehicle In the Cut, and Bridget Jones' Diary which he calls "the decade's best romantic comedy." [ed. note: We have never cared for Mick's taste.]
