Well, in order to make sure I didn't forget any great movies of 2006, I went to IMDB and chose to look at the index of all movies released in 2006.

The index has 21,348 entries.

Don't think I'm going to review all of those.

The ones I remember liking from 2006 include:

The Lake House
Stranger than Fiction (my favorite of the year)
The Illusionist
The Holiday
Pirates of the Carribean 2

I think I really didn't see many movies in 2006 compared to previous years.

Reading your blog synopsis for Transformers, I should point out that Starscream -is- in the film, as an important character. The "core" Decepticon who didn't make the cut was Soundwave...though they plan to use him in the potential sequels.

I thought Starscream was transformed into some non-Starscream character that they just slapped the name on for the heck of it.

Lots of good movies there.

Nah. They said that Starscream will still be Megatron's ambitious, scientifically gifted, shrill and quarrelsome second-in-command/rival. [Smile]

That film contained what has got to be one of the creepiest film scenes I have ever seen. I was disturbed by it for days afterwards. [Angst]

THAT is good to hear [Smile] . I changed my blog to remove the line about Starscream.

If only Chris Latta was still alive. [Frown]

2006 was a crap year for movies.

I gave up on going to the movies halfway through the year.

Can't remember if it was on Lady In The Water or Superman Returns As A Wuss.

Thanks Eurip [Smile]

Feel free to visit throughout the year as I add more reviews for movies and other things. And feel free to click the link there to my political blog as well.


And Jack -

First of all, love your show, watch it all the time.

Second, it was a rather weak year as a whole, but that doesn't mean there weren't a dozen or so great movies to find if you knew where to look. I missed a lot of great movies last year, and I still found a good 15-20 movies that I thought were quality. There were a half dozen good CGI movies last year too.

Perhaps y'all have seen this before, but the 8th Annual Golden Tomato Awards might be of interest. They've got top 10s by genre.
