Re: What current Hollywood trend do you hate?

Re: Rank the Die Hard Movies

Die Hard 3. I love Die Hard 3. I loved the Sam Jackson and Willis, the tone and the stakes felt higher for me. It's has only a very slight edge of the first one.
Die Hard. Fantastic, tense, well...

Re: Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Carrie (1976). I was pretty disappointed by this movie. As a drama, it works. As a horror, it certainly does not. It takes a while for this movie to actually get interesting but once the 2nd act...

Well I don't like Citizen Kane and felt it was nowhere near the level of hype it gets. Does that mean I'm wrong and my opinion is invalid?

Ghostbusters (1984).

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) Review

After watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and I can say that if what you are looking for is a cheesy, horrifying and raw 70's exploitation horror film, Texas Chainsaw is the one for you.

My Final Thoughts on Citizen Kane.

I just finished watching Citizen Kane for the second time since I felt that my expectations for Citizen Kane were too high and too different the first time and therefore I did not enjoy it. But after...

Citizen Kane. For the third time (second time technically). Since I now have a bit more insight, hopefully I will enjoy it more. I doubt I will think of it as highly as everyone else does, but...

Also, I find Predator to be SO overrated. It, honestly, has a really tense and really cool 3rd act but the rest is so boring and filled with one note and cheesy characters. I can see how people like...

Re: Your Most Controversial Film Opinions?

Oh, I just remembered. I really don't like Vertigo. To this day it is probably the most boring movie I have ever seen. And I was surprised since I really LOVE Psycho, Rope, Rear Window and The Birds.

You are definitely right that it exists and it may be common but it is not the usual reason IMO.

Well, that's a bold claim to make. Yes that may sometimes be the case but I think that the majority of the time someone dislikes a film because it is not to their taste. Not because they are stupid.
