What I Went to in 2006 (Theater)

- 33. Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D - "Cooler than 3D, was teh oppertunity to see it on the big screen"
- 32. Flags Of Our Fathers - "A very dramatic and informative film. As far as war films go however, it's not as good as Saving Private Ryan"
- 31. The Prestige - "This movie was awful. The ending complete cheats the veiwer, and the only redeeming factor is Scarlett Johansson (you know what I'm talking about)"

- 29. The Departed - "Vintage Scorcese!"

- 15. 16 Blocks- "Exactly what you expect, but an entertaining popcorn flick."
- 14. Match Point - "ignore the fact that this is a Woody Allen Film. It is nothing like his other neurotic works. It is a great film that goes where you won't expect"
- 13. Akeelah and The Bee - "This was a good film. A little formulaic at times, but enjoyable all the same."

#20 The Road
this was the first film of our apocolyptic film fest one weekend. Its very dark and dreary, and follows the book almost to the page. Its not that its a bad film, its just a much easier read. The highlight of the film is that Robert Duvall is in it. I didn't recognize him until about 5 minutes into his scene, which made it even better. I love it when i don't know duvall is in a movie and then he just pops up to steal the scene. Without a doubt one of the top 5 male actors of all time.
