Hmmmmm lets see

Little Miss Sunshine - This movie was awesome in every way possible, yet again, anything Steve Carell touches is awesome.

The Descent - Probably the best horror flick of the year.....

Superman - I'm sure this one will get nominated for something, even though I thought it sucked hard.

BORAT- This movie was absolutely hilarious. Even though they are in a sea of lawsuits at the moment, it still was a very FUNNY movie.

Employee of the Month - Jessica Simpson was just phenomenal in this movie. She should be awarded actress of the year. (this movie was terrible)

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE is this years SIDEWAYS. It's a great film.

Both Jill Claiborne and Annette Benning were amazing in RUNNING WITH SCISSORS. But I think Helen Mirren was even better in THE QUEEN.

The buzz is that, hands down, Forest Whitaker has the Oscar cinched up for his amazing role in THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND. (I have yet to see the film)

DREAMGIRLS kicked ass and was hugely entertaining.

And while I normally don't go for big action films, I was completely taken with the new James Bond film, CASINO ROYALE. I thought it was fabulous!!

I need to update my "best of" and add Notes Of A Scandal to best movie. Oh my god, what a ride. And this woman on the right is a must for Best Actress. All hail Dame Judi Dench!

I never get to theaters, so I will wait to they come out on DVD to see most of these.

I really want to see Half Nelson, Sherrbaby, Little Children and Little Miss Sunshine!

I liked Superman, I really did and Devil...both were enjoyable.
