Movie Review

Grade: B- Now three movies into the New Year, I can now declare Nanny McPhee as the best movie of 2006, beating out both Underworld: Evolution and Glory Road. And while that might not seem like much of an accomplishment, Nanny McPhee, the new whimsical family film written by and starring Emma Thompson is definitely worthy of an audience. Although getting stuck with an unfortunate January release date, this movie exceeded my expectations. It is simple, creative, and most importantly it makes you feel good. Read the full movie review
