I will keep calling them as I see it, and you will have the choice of either reading my posts or ignoring them.

Interestingly, I do not divide films into those for "masses" and those for... for... I dunno... elite, perhaps? What would be your word here? Some require more education and preparation to be appreciated - but education is hardly what separates the masses from the elite.

I simply watch all kinds of films - as I mentioned before, most of them the not so good films on American cable - and state my opinions on them. If you find my opinions interesting for whatever reason - read them, otherwise...

I am shocked, shocked! to discover that you equate expression of personal opinion with espousing onto others my personal preferences. For instance, I don't like NPR, so I simply ignore it.

You can always find conflicting opinions in this group, so you are hardly forced to read my posts, let alone to be forced to do anything by them.

What I CAN promise you is that I am NOT gonna start giving any special allowances to any country or studio or director... I think this is the only fair way of doing this.

On a personal note - I wish more people contributed to this group. But we had periods here with five posts per week, so it seems. So if you have an opinion on something you liked or disliked, please post it.

BTW - the great majority of films that I wrote about here are not some super-sophisticated creations that take tons of education to appreciate - most of them are rather simple stories, except made well. So in essence they are movies for the "masses" - see, I even used that word here.
