Posted Jul 21, 2008
 
The Dark Knight (2008)95%
/
4.5/5
 
"Regardless of its historical accuracy, the movie's real backbone is the study of the conflict between devotion to one's country and devotion to one's family, which could not be any realer." -- Movie Addict
Posted Jan 9, 2007
 
The Good Shepherd (2006)56%
/
4.5/5

Children of Men (2006)92%

4.5/5
 
"Stallone has finally - after years of trying - brought back the character we fell in love with in 1976, and seeing the real Rocky one last time was worth the wait." -- Movie Addict

The Fountain (2006)51%
/
2.5/5

/
2.5/5

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)72%
/
4/5

/
4.5/5

Crash (2005)75%
/
5/5
