2006 in review.

I saw about 74 movies that came out in theaters this year (believe it or not). You can figure out how much money that is; I really don't know or care, I'm pretty tired right now. I kept a list since the beginning of the year of what I saw in theaters, including ones that came out late last year, and ones that had come out on DVD this year but I didn't get a chance to see in theaters. So, here they are in order, for your enjoyment:

the white countess, bubble, fateless, the three burials of melquiades estrada, the matador, firewall, dave chappelle's block party, running scared, cache, neil young: heart of gold, v for vendetta, l'enfant, inside man, the devil and daniel johnston, thank you for smoking, lucky number slevin, slither, friends with money, the notorious bettie page, brick, united 93, mission impossible 3, art school confidential, lady vengeance, x-men 3, over the hedge, an inconvenient truth, cars, peaceful warrior, nacho libre, you me and dupree, a prairie home companion, the proposition, superman returns, clerks 2, pirates of the carribean 2, miami vice, little miss sunshine, talladega nights: the ballad of ricky bobby, jesus camp, the descent, snakes on a plane, beerfest, half nelson, the illusionist, idlewild, crank, mutual appreciation, sherrybaby, hard candy, the science of sleep, a guide to recognizing your saints, the room, little children, the departed, inland empire, marie antoinette, the prestige, saw III, babel, last king of scotland, borat, volver, come early morning, casino royale, the fountain, tenacious D in the pick of destiny, the queen, dreamgirls, the pursuit of happyness, children of men, rocky balboa, letters from iwo jima, and notes on a scandal. ha!

God, I love movies. I could drink them. But this year really sucked.

Here are my top 10 of the year....I guess. It's a bit rough, in my opinion, but I have to make one for newspaper regardless, so here you go. I'm definitley going to add the explanations for each of them underneath as I write the article, but here's the list for now. (Runners up are Hard Candy and The Notorious Bettie Page.)
