Babel (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
It's hard to make a persuasive analysis of the human condition when you limit your characters to just one.

Running with Scissors (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Awkard pacing and direction ruin a uniformly great cast (including a game Joseph Cross). The director obviously has no idea how to tell this kind of story.

MAGIC CLONING MACHINE.

Flags of Our Fathers (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Doesn't quite make it. Lose the book-interview sub-subplot and half the music, and bulk up the natural drama in the center.

Marie Antoinette (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
A hermetical masterpiece. Coppola takes our period-piece expectations and shatters them, concentrating instead on emotional impressionism as biography. It works.

Infamous (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Manages to be simultaneously more complex and less subtle than "Capote". If you weigh Hoffman's performance against Jones', Jones is the truer Capote - but Hoffman's inner turmoil has more breathing room.

The Departed (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
Some amazing scenes, performances and cuts - but you can't help but feel like Scorsese could've gotten more out of the source material. It's terrific entertainment, but it falls short of his very best, richest work.

The Queen (2006) - Rated 13 Aug 2007
A small movie, for sure, but a knockout.
