Week Sixteen: #36 - The Incredibles
The Nitpicker Guide to the Movies “See the films you love in a whole new way!” Now this movie belongs in the top 50.

Week Fourteen: #38 - Hancock
The Nitpicker Guide to the Movies “See the films you love in a whole new way!” Good old Will Smith--always a surefire blockbuster.

Week Eleven: #41 - The Passion of the Christ
The Nitpicker Guide to the Movies “See the films you love in a whole new way!” This is going to be a short one--because this is one movie I just can’t put my Nitpicker’s hat on for.

Week Nine: #43 - Casino Royale
The Nitpicker Guide to the Movies “See the films you love in a whole new way!” Woo-HOO! I will admit to being a pretty fair Bond fan.
