Time for a rant!

Is anyone else tired of Movie Critic sites that do nothing but crap on movies they don't like. I mean why did you spend all of that money to go see something just so you can write something negative about it? What movie have you produced, directed, acted, written? Now I understand if you thought it was going to be great and then being disappointed. If that's the case then by all means be as critical as you like, however if you intentionally write about a movie to make yourself sound important or knowledgeable, well save it because no one cares what you think. No one cares what I think! And I get annoyed when I'm trying to find intelligent feedback on a movie and I find all these people just writing things because they think they're clever. You don't sound clever, you sound stupid. I read a review once that was so convoluted I didn't understand one word of it. Now I'm an educated man but I'm sure some of these people are sitting at their computers with a thesaurus trying to find the most obscure references they can . It's like when stupid people use SAT words in sentences to make themselves sound smart, it makes them sound dumber than they really are.

In the end, stop going to see movies you won't like. I never go see a movie I don't want to see. Over time I've gotten better at choosing movies, which is why 99% of my ratings are Great-Excellent-Superior. Maybe some of you "Critics" out there need to search deep within your soul to find the intelligence not to waste $8.50 on a move you're just going to rant about later. Or maybe that's what you like to do, perhaps you only find happiness in the negative. In that case maybe you need to resolve some issues with your mother, or see a therapist or something to make you less sadistic. The movies are a magical place where you can go for a few hours and be lost in a world that is not your own. I feel sorry for people who make it another negative place in their depressing lives.

Gladiator...I mean Robin Hood

5/16/2010 The Grand Theater Good I wonder what would happen if you were to watch Gladiator and Robin Hood at the same time. Now I don't know for sure but here's my guess. At exactly the same time you would have.... Big opening battle (Wow this is cool!) Blah-blah-blah-blah-plot-plot-plot-plot-plot Smaller but still cool battle. Blah-blah-blah-blah-develope the story, oh isn't that funny and clever... Another Cool battle scene Blah-blah-blah-blah- love-love-love-love Yeah kill that guy, I wish I could shoot an arrow like that. Blah-blah-blah-blah-oh that's why he's the way he is... Yes Big battle. The end. Let's get rid of the blah-blah-blah-blah and just give us 100 minutes of what we really want. Big Epice unrealistic battles! That's all I have to say about that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSqL9ygBCck

A Christmas Carol 3-D

11-8-2009 The Grand Theater Superior This was the scariest I've seen in a long time. That's saying a lot considering my list. There were times I was shaken, and this isn't an unfamiliar story. This was also a beautiful movie with amusement park like effects, especially with the 3-D, which by the way I highly reccomend. With the 3-D glasses you really notice the care and detail taken to truly make this an imaginative and engaging remake of the ultimate Christmas Story (Next to the Jesus Story of course.) Many are critical of this movie because of it's over use of special effects and I would agree with them if the story telling and acting weren't as superb as they were. Jim Carey (I'm not really a fan) was excellent in his portrayal of Scrooge and the Spirits of Christmas Past and Present. Each Spirit character including Jacob Marley was both endearing and terrifying. Exactly as their characters should be. The exception being the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come, h...

Knowing

3/23/2009 The Grand Theater Superior I did not know this movie was going to be as religious as it was until the end. I think the people who have given this movie a negative review, gave it a negative review because they knew beforehand of the obvious religious context. It's too bad for them because the missed some of the best film making and storytelling in a long while. To be honest I would have been with them. I usually stay away from movies that have a religious context because they so often fall short in just about every area of good film making (ie Fireproof, Left Behind, The Passion of the Christ) I am so glad I didn't know that in advance here beacause I would probably not have seen it. I expected it to be an "End of the World" movie, and that is all. I invite you to see it only with that pre-text. Get it out of your head that it's a religous movie and see it with the same open mind that you'd see any other movie, if you do, for real, then I believe you...
