Time to wrap the presents and time to wrap the artistic year up in its glories and travesties. Our last conversation about 2011’s offerings is about movies. I recently talked to the New York Times’ A.O. Scott about this year’s trends (nostalgia), his favorites (Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life”) and not-so-favorites (Adam Sandler’s “Jack and Jill”). On Wednesday, I spoke to the Washington Post’s Ron Charles about the year in fiction. On Thursday, I talked to the Los Angeles Times’ Randall Roberts about the year in pop music.
