Movies aren't always about escaping and it being fun. Sometimes movies are about intense emotions, even the negative ones, and exploring those emotions. Sometimes they're about making a statement. Sometimes they're even about trying to promote real change in society. And sometimes movies are even about being terrified. If it was all about love stories, while love is great, then many great movies wouldn't exist and many movies would be rendered completely boring.Comment

Yeah Halle Berry seemed wrong for the part...but I wouldn't give that movie a 0 either, heh. I'm a fan of the genre. Plus I loved Birds of Prey back when it aired, and this had qualities like it.
For something to be a total '0' for me, it has to be terrible the whole way through, not just terrible overall. If I liked anything about a film, even a single scene or moment, then it's not a zero. Anyway that's just the way I see things.
In the Smallville section, I see people give genuinely great or at the very least decent Smallville eps '1 out of 10' ratings, and their explanations for their terrible scores usually have to do solely with their own personal tastes or preferences not being met, things not happening the way they wished would happen based on their own pre-conceived notions and things like that. A lot of the time, even a single scene or a few scenes not being liked is enough for them to totally write off an episode as a total 0 (or 1). A Chlark shipper/Chloe lover, for example, might write off an episode simply for Chloe not being in it, for something bad/sad or "mean" happening to Chloe, or if Clark gets romantic with somebody who ISN'T Chloe, like with Lana (ESPECIALLY Lana, lol). It's funny to see how some people's brains work, or don't work. hehLast edited by Xanderman; 03-21-2008, 06:59 PM.Comment

I watched Vantage Point the other day, and I thought it was really good. That is as long as you dont mind seeing the president get shot 8 times. Even though I knew it was coming it suprised me every time for some reasonComment

Just saw Braveheart, and right now I'm cursing myself for not having seen it before. Fantastic movie. Right now I'm searching ebay for a sword like it, for my Braveheart-altar!Comment

No country for old men and There will be blood are some of the best movies ever made. Make sure you see them.Comment

Finally had a chance to watch to watch The Prestige and The Illusionist. Both were awesome, but I personally preferred The Prestige more.
The ending of The Illusionist was a bit cheesy and typical, unlike The Prestige. I know people don't like to compare the two as similar plots, but you gotta admit it. They're not that different.
Oh and I watched Fight Club a month back. Fantastic movie.
No Country for Old Men was outstanding. Haven't seen "Blood" yet but it's on my list.Comment

I read that *is a little sad* LotR i think got less ratings probably cause the movies are so damn long. I am trying to make up excuses here Anyhow SW is a true classic that came way before the LotR films were made. I mean really, SW should beat out LotR, it was basically a start of a new era I personally like the prequals but watching the 3 original was like my childhood all over again. I also really like how they added Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi.
The one excuse they made for LotR was that it won Academy AwardsComment
