Another great thriller with Paul Giamatti on NETFLIX.


A gun in the hand is worth more than ten policemen on the phone.

Yeah, his movies blow. Just my opinion. Well, not just my opinion, but...

I always think of this when I see the guy in that movie:



I think many his movies are great until the last 20 minutes. Then they totally blow.

I guess that still counts as a twist.

There are a number of articles and essays that explain the actual meaning of the film, and after reading those, it has become one of my all time favorites. Highly underrated.

I really, really don't get this guy.

Can't remember what movie it was that I was really pissed off when it ended and wondering why i was there in the first place. It was utter crap, IMO.

Ten the titles started rolling and I read the director's name. I smacked myself loudly in the forehead.

I blamed myself for not reading the small print on the poster.
He is the one and only director I avoid. Just him.

I enjoyed that one as it took different turns than what I thought was going to happen.

Signs is dumb but The Happening is the worst movie of all time.



I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log.

It was The Happening, aka WTF?

Sci-fi, Marky Mark Wahlberg, EOTWAWKI, what could go wrong? The frigging director Mad

What a turd.


Sort if enjoyed Split. Good acting but particularly and specially because I still remember reading an article on Penthouse magazine back in the 80s titled The minds of Billy Mulligan (if i remember correctly) about this guy who had multiple personalities EXACTLY like the main character played by McAvoy. No surprises watching the movie, just remembering a conversation i had with a psychology student that had sketches of this freak story while i had all the info from the magazine. Goes to show that some people do read the articles Big Grin
