Can I list the "last n" entries for a specifc category (not category list). For example, I would like to list the last 5 entries in my movie review category only. This is for a sidebar, so I only want a title and maybe the first 20 words, with the title linked to the individual archive.

Yes, I did search the board but didn't find a solution to my specific problem, unless I am missing something.

Thanks for any help.

I think what you're looking for is something like this:
CODE
<MTEntries category="YOURCATEGORYNAME" lastn="5">
<a href="<$MTEntryLink$>"><$MTEntryTitle$></a> <br /> <$MTEntryExcerpt$> <br /> <br />
</MTEntries>

You find information about this under "Template Tags" in the manual.
