The holidays are over, we take a collective breath ... and TGIF looks back at 2008: On the cinema scene, we have two Rogers picking the cream of the crop. That's Roger Moore of the Orlando, Fla., Sentinel, whose reviews TGIF relied on for much of the year as the other Roger — Ebert, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Chicago journalist, whose commentary is always noteworthy — recovered from illness. The year's top albums and a mix tape suggestion for your listening pleasure also are presented. And locally, "Mr. Entertainment" Wayne Harada came up with the best of Island music and theater for 2008. Farewell, 2008; welcome, 2009!
