"The Critics' Choice: Best Movies of 2007" is a debate and inside look at the nominees for the upcoming Critics' Choice Awards.

Allen. The critics will debate about the best films and performances of 2007, while giving viewers the inside track on who has the best shot at winning a Critics' Choice Award(TM) -- the most historically reliable predictor of OSCAR(TM) GOLD!
