A thumbs up means the film was watchable. Walsingham said Oceans 12 was entertaining, and I agree. It's a fun movie. It's not high art. Minority Report was also very watchable. It wasn't awe inspiring, but I thought it was interesting. Honestly, it's all in your expectations and personal tastes. I didn't personally enjoy the first two Harry Potter movies, but that doesn't mean they were horrible movies. They just didn't meet my expectations.

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Last night I watched Die Hard With A Vengeance. Not the best in the series, but decent nonetheless. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't awe inspiring, but I thought it was interesting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And here we have a semantic divirgence. Let us take the case of = ok, not bad. Therefore we are diluting a good score (for something like the Director's cut of Bladerunner) with something that won't make you stand up and turn over the tv if you've dropped the remote but you might keep surking the web as well (like The Return of the Jedi). Also, mediocre reviews are meaningless. Unless the film holds some evidenciary novelty (noted in the accompanying review) then it doesn't matter if it's good, passable or just misses. I'm not going to watch it. If it's egregiously good (or bad) I'll check it out. So the symbol is wasted and pointless on anything with delusions of adequacy. PS Minority Report is a good short story and a very pedestrian film. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Only the Director's cut, though: the original cinematic release has Harrison Ford doing a lame voice-over to try to explain the different ending!

Kor Qel Droma Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 (edited) And speaking of Harrison Ford, I watched The Mosquito Coast last night. It's not his best film. It's a bit out there. I would watch it over Hollywood Homicide though. Twenty minutes of that show was about nineteen too much for me. Edited February 12, 2006 by Kor Qel Droma Jaguars4ever is still alive.

Some of the costumes were giving more animated and believable performances. Although her outfit was okay.
