For the fourth year, Culture Dogs, your weekly movie and video news and review program presents The WWUHFfies, your opportunity to sound off on your opinion about the new films that played in Greater Hartford in 2006. The awards are in two parts: Our “Best in Show” which rewards the best of our scene (including “Best Ben Affleck Film”); and the “In the Doghouse Awards” which acknowledges cinematic badness (like “The Biggest Jerk In The Theatre Award”).
