The ratings are what they are and are formed based on the opinions of all different kinds of people. You complain about liberals voting movies up or down based on their political beliefs. There’s a flip side to that coin. Conservatives are voting movies up or down based on their political beliefs as well. When you take into account hundreds of thousands of people are voting on these movies it more or less even outs. And even if it didn't, it might change the ratings a little bit, but it’s not going to be the difference between a 6/10 and an 8/10. |

Seriously, the rankings don't validate your taste in movies any more than they do mine. Millions of diverse people think Kim Kardashian is really interesting, but it doesn't mean she is. I posted that 'Platoon' was now available on netlfix streaming and added my personal opinion that it was one of the best war movies of all time. Then you and a few others wanted to play the “this war movie is better than Platoon” game because it was so “easy.” Like I said earlier: everyone has a different opinion when it comes to movies. Someone could say “In The Army Now” was the best war movie of all time and they wouldn't technically be wrong. IMDB is the best way to determine how good a movie is according to the movie watching public rather than just one man's personal opinion. As I said in my previous post: I'm more than happy to drop it. However, if someone is going to keep posting comments directed at me in a thread I frequent then i am going to respond (especially if they claim i said something I never said). |

Quality of production and how much you liked it. Platoon: High production value but unteachable. Heartbreak Ridge: Low production value but enjoyable. ETA: Perl Harbor could be substituted for Platoon seeing how there is some debate.

Growing up, whenever I was spending a Sunday in the house, I'd watch westerns all day (maybe toss in a Rocky flick, or an all day war movie marathon.) I got nostalgic and watched Once Upon a Time in the West today for the hundredth time. It's still awesome.

Been on a big horror/suspense kick lately.
"The Frozen" - I thought it was good. Pretty good plot twist. Not much violence/gore, just decent story line/suspense. "Amber Lake" - Still not sure what to make of this one. It was good, I just mean the characters were all over the place and while I get the main story, I think there were things intended that maybe I didn't pick up on. Overall a pretty good one as well, but another low budget/indie type movie. |

Not sure if its been noted by four brothers is up on Netflix. I haven't seen it for a while but I enjoyed it when I did.

If you haven't seen the six part extended version it's even better than the original release of the three movies. http://cdn3.nflximg.net/images/0333/70333.jpg Pretty good, IMO. The remake wasn't bad either. Wish they would have gotten a different actress for the lead though. |
