St. Louis Film Critics Association Nominees

Well I thought I was done. One more for the books. No real surprises, although I find their worst movies of the year to be a little interesting. First, Hereafter may have split critics, but I never thought it would be on a "worst" list. Although How Do You Know doesn't have reviews up yet, I find it hard to believe it is worse that Furry Vengeance.
