- Away from Her Sarah Polley's directorial debut. Late 2006 in Canada rest of the world 2007. By FAR the best movie I've seen this year.
- The Fountain Darren Aronofsky is at it again. Again Late 2006. Early 2007 most elsewhere.
- The Pursuit of Happyness Will Smith doing a different role. Extremely Late 2006. Early 2007 elsewhere.
- Hot Fuzz Naming this for top comedy although I have yet to see several others. I've heard Superbad is really good too.

Theater / Other
- The Syringa Tree: 1 prop, 100 minutes, 1 "schizophrenic" actress, 1 brilliant play. All I can say is that I have _never_ left a theater as awestruck as I did tonight. An absolutely amazing performance by Caroline Cave. It is hard to believe that one actress can do so much: transform her persona in both hight, sex, age and race so quickly. Masterful lighting. See this if you are in town, you will not be disappointed.
