In Reply to: Sorry mobile, but don't you think that you're being a bit unfair to Carl's review? posted by Audiophilander on July 31, 2001 at 11:06:57:
***Conversely, I don't know how many times I've gone to a critically acclaimed art-house film (Note: never, I mean NEVER go to a movie with the foreign pronunciation of food or attire mentioned in it's title) only to be bored to the point of nearly dozing off.***Yeah, they need more predictability, violence, killing, car chases, special effects, and explosions...then you'll stay awake.
Follow Ups:
I like good plots as much as anyone perhaps more than most, but some of the highly rated heavily relationship-oriented melodramas are like 35mm doses of Sominex (i.e., in rare cases, major films like The English Patient and Altman's Pret-a-Porter, were undoubtably shot and released in 70mm Sominex)! Fortunately, my wife prefers action flicks over some of the bogus fare which passes for romantic intrigue or intellectual stimulation (i.e., for instance, we'd both rather see a lively Jackie Chan or Jet Li production than anything Merchant Ivory ever released).FWIW, I was hoping that my previous comment about "...movies with the foreign pronunciation of food or attire ..." would appear facetious; many foreign films are quite good in fact. However, a bad foreign movie is no better than a bad American movie and in the long run it still all boils down to personal taste.
