With 2010 on the horizon, we say goodbye to the decade. At the movies, crime and fantasy dominated the last 10 years. It was also the decade of Heath Ledger with his phenomenal turns in .The Dark Knight. and .Brokeback Mountain..

We also saw our favorite auteurs putting their creative stamps on filmmaking. From the Coen brothers to Quentin Tarantino, the cinema was alive and well thanks to their auteurship.

Even though it was hard to whittle it down to just 10 movies, here are my picks of the Top 10 Best Films of the Decade from No. 10 to the best of the best!

10. .Memento. (2000) . Memory is at the center of .Memento. from writer-director Christopher Nolan. Guy Pearce plays a man suffering from short-term memory loss who.s trying desperately to hunt for the man who killed his wife.

Ask the Flying Monkey! (March 11, 2009)

10 March 2009 5:38 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Ask the Monkey! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)

Q: What do you think about this whole “gay face” mini-meme? – Michael

A: The Flying Monkey just heard about it  and I’m already tired of it.

And this is news why? We all know there are physical and verbal stereotypes – mannerisms and such that are associated with gayness. We also know that sometimes the stereotypes are right – some gay people do conform to them – and sometimes they’re wrong: many gay people don’t conform to them, and some straight people who do. »
