Two supposedly mighty films hit theaters today - Evan Almighty and A Mighty Heart - but neither is a very strong candidate for moviegoers' time or money. Rather, those itching for a cinematic fix might want to check out Michael Moore's Sicko - which I'll be catching sometime in the next few days, with a review to follow - or simply hold tight until next weekend, when Pixar and Brad Bird's superb Ratatouille - which I've already seen, and can enthusiastically vouch for - is released.
Today:
Evan Almighty (Slant magazine)
Lady Chatterley (Cinematical)
And keep an eye on the site over the next few days, as I'll be posting new blog-specific reviews for The Good Shepherd, Bug and Music and Lyrics.
The Iron Giant + The Incredibles + Ratatouille = Daaaaaaamn boi etc. That's a mighty fine-looking filmography if I do say so myself.

Agreed. Even amidst his illustrious Pixar peers, Bird stands out as an exceptional talent.

I've also seen Ratatouille, and I just LURVE it. For my money, it's the best 2007 movie that I've seen so far. I'm even gonna say that it's marginally the best Pixar movie, just a hair ahead of Brad Bird's The Incredibles. I'll be interested to know if/how it ranks on your top ten by the end of the year.
