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	"Crafted from deep passion and filled with joy and wit and wonder." -- Movie Addict Posted Jan 6, 2007	F For Fake (1976)	88%
4.5/5	"Children of Men is a breathtaking cinematic experience - exactly what a good film should be." -- Movie Addict Posted Jan 5, 2007	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 Posted Jan 4, 2007	Rocky Balboa (2006)	76%
5/5	"Not just one of the year's best films, but also Martin Scorsese's best work in over a decade." -- Movie Addict Posted Dec 9, 2006	The Departed (2006)	92%
3/5	"*[Aronofsky's] ambitions are ultimately what cause The Fountain* to sink beneath its own heavy-handed pretensions.*" -- Movie Addict* Posted Nov 27, 2006	The Fountain (2006)	51%
2.5/5	"A smug, slow exercise in Hollywood banality." -- Movie Addict Posted Sep 15, 2006	Ocean's Twelve (2004)	55%
4.5/5	"The film falls back upon old-fashioned chills rather than modern-day thrills." -- Movie Addict Posted Aug 26, 2006	The Mothman Prophecies (2002)	52%
4.5/5	"One of the movies that best captures the essence of cinema from a time when the mainstream and arthouse were coexistent." -- Movie Addict Posted Aug 11, 2006	Lenny (1974)	100%
2.5/5	"The film tries to come across as a satirical statement on blind patriotism...but it only goes for surface digs." -- Movie Addict Posted Aug 8, 2006	Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)	72%
4/5	"Long, artsy shots of nothingness; excessively quirky characters; brutal humor; vicious sarcasm... But it's a fun movie." -- Movie Addict Posted Jul 29, 2006	The Big White (2005)	30%
4/5	"*If the original displayed the non-sentiments of apathetic workers, then Clerks II* reveals their sympathetic sides.*" -- Movie Addict* Posted Jul 29, 2006	Clerks II (2006)	63%

4.5/5	"Capote is a magnificently crafted (if somewhat flawed) character study hiding behind the false fa�ade of a standard Hollywood biopic." -- Movie Addict Posted Mar 30, 2006	Capote (2005)	91%
3.5/5	"Moments that actually start to amount to something, and begin to captivate -- but are unfortunately dragged to a halting stop whenever Haggis tries to nail the point with a sledgehammer." -- Movie Addict Posted Mar 17, 2006	Crash (2005)	75%

0/5	"Forget the death penalty. Just stick a bunch of criminals in a room and make them watch this over and over every day for a month." -- Movie Addict Posted Sep 27, 2004	National Lampoon's Movie Madness (1981)	0%
