Best Picture Reviews:

	Babel — reviewed by Tara Settembre “Babel is boldly directed by Alejandro Gonz¡lez I±¡rritu who directed Amores perros and 21 Grams. In this film, he showcases his refreshing technique once again with smooth story transitions and interesting camera pans.”
	The Departed — reviewed by Chris Beaumont “The ensemble cast is fantastic, with everyone hitting the right notes. The script is masterful at keeping its focus and delivering the laughs and the thrills. In the end, this movie had me nailed to my seat for two and a half hours.”
	Letters from Iwo Jima — reviewed by Matthew Alexander “It is heartening to see such good work put into the film, because the central idea itself deserves a skilled realization.”
	Little Miss Sunshine — reviewed by Neil Miller “The cast is exceptional, the story is phenomenal and the journey of this wacky American family hits all too close to home. Little Miss Sunshine will make laugh so hard that you will be brought to tears, but you will want to cry anyway, because the film just has so much heart.”
	The Queen — reviewed by Chris Beaumont “I may not have the greatest interest in the Royal Family, but this film does offer some insight to what happened behind, primarily, closed doors. Basically, The Queen is a quietly beautiful film, anchored by some fine acting performances.”
