The relationship between director Spike Jonze and writer Charlie Kaufman has resulted in two of the greatest meta-comedies of all time: 1999's "Being John Malkovich" and 2002's "Adaptation." And while the two have tackled their own projects in recent years with Jonze bringing the wild, tortured heart of "Where The Wild Things Are" to the big screen and Kaufman directing his personal project "Synecdoche, New York" (which Jonze produced and at one time, was considering directing), it looks like the duo are set re-team in their familiar roles as director and writer.

After a rather bombastic, portentous second album, "Neon Bible," indie-rock favorites Arcade Fire came back in force this year with the excellent "The Suburbs," a near-concept record that paired the band's usual apocalyptic themes with images from suburban life. It sounds like it shouldn't work, but it's one of the strongest records of the year, and is likely to top a lot of critics' polls by the end of December.
