V For Vendetta (2006) **

Strange allegory about terrorism, with a terrorist as a good guy. Never boring, but probably the most pro-Nazi film ever made in Hollywood, celebrating violence as the best way to overthrow a government. It's all about the triumph of the will of a single strong leader inspiring an army of faceless followers, and willing to terrorize not only the powerful, but the powerless as well. Andrew Klaven wrote a strong denunciation of the film's fascist sympathies here.

Bambi II (2006) **

A sequel to "Bambi".

An Inconvenient Truth (2006) **

The only inconvenient truth about this documentary is that while it raises a fascinating subject and is quite convincing in its arguments, it's simply not a very good movie, cinematographically-speaking. Most Michael Moore's documentaries (except for "Fahrenheit 9/11"), while equally committed to its ideals, are far more impressive cinematographically (and far more entertaining) than this undeserved Oscar-winner.
