2006
El Labyrinto Del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
Directed by: Guillermo del Toro"...a transcendent work of art."
Boston Globe, Wesley Morris
Special movie, one of my all time favorite and a must-watch for fantasy fans
*****
Flags of our Fathers
Directed by: Clint Eastwood"A unique, challenging look at World War II -- from the battlefield of Iwo Jima to hero worship on the homefront."
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bob Longino
A great anti-war movie and another brilliant Eastwood film
*****
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Directed by: Tim Burton"...a dark revenge tragedy with heartbreak, mayhem and bloody good meat pies."
Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert
My second best musical of the decade after Moulin Rouge, a yet-another great product of the Depp-Burton partnership
*****
2007
300
Directed by: Zack Synder"...the "Citizen Kane" of cinematic graphic novels."
Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper
The insanely-faithful adaptation of Frank Miller graphic novel was really enjoyable
*****
2008
The Dark Knight
Directed By: Christopher Nolan
"...arguably the moodiest and most adult superhero motion picture ever to reach the screen..."
ReelViews, James Berardinelli
The best superhero movie so far, and a remarkable performance by Heath Ledger
*****
2009
Inglourious Basterds
Directed by: Quentin Tarantino"Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is a big, bold, audacious war movie that will annoy some, startle others and demonstrate once again that he's the real thing, a director of quixotic delights."
Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert
Another crazy Tarantino movie, may be his best one since Pulp Fiction .. Or hmm, may be since Kill Bill
*****
2010
Inception
Directed by: Christopher Nolan
"A devilishly complicated, fiendishly enjoyable sci-fi voyage across a dreamscape that is thoroughly compelling."
Hollywood Reporter, Kirk Honeycutt
Unique experience, and like another earlier Nolan movie "Memento", has to be watched more than once
