The best movie I watched was Invincible, as its inspiration was is rarely taken into count as what makes a good film.

I liked THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA a lot. Although it didn't make my list I've seen it four times because it's my girlfriends favorite movie of 2006. I even read the book which is a delight.

I was surprised how good INVINCIBLE was when I screened it moths ago. This was a good year for football movies. You also had GRIDIRON GANG which was exceptional and WE ARE MARSHALL which is totally moving. I would consider ALL three pig skin classics.

Gnarls Barkley is awesome,but why are people just now discovering Cee Lo?!! He is great, but DangerMouse needs to slow down on the album making. The new Gorillaz album, DangerDoom, Ghetto Pop Life...and all the other singles he's come out with in this year.

My favorite album of this year is Ghostface Killah's: Fishscale. (keeping it hiphop) My second choice is NIN: With Teeth. Movies...hmmm...I'd have to say my all time favorite movie this year in theatres was The Descent. This movie was refreshing. Best DVD I thought was Slither. The worst movie I've seen this year though is Eragon. Not much I can say about this movie expect...sigh.

I'm one of the movie critics here at FOX 4. I love my job, and I love movies! When I was a kid growing up in Friendship Village, I turned my bedroom into a film studio and made my own movies. I actually won a couple of student filmmaking awards. But, I really got into it for the girls. Naw, I really have a great appreciation for the cinematic arts. I'm going to use this blog to tell you all the stuff I don't have time to tell you about on television. And, I can't wait to hear what you think about the movies I review or the stars I talk to out in Hollywood.
