Charlie Wilson's War: The Movie

In a Sentence:
If even a tenth of movies that came out were this well cast, well written and well directed, I wouldn't have needed to start a blog to motivate me to watch more films.

In Three Words:
Hanks. Enough said.

1-10 Rating: 9 (maybe 9.25)

hadn't seen it - but now I guess I'll have to!

"I've also decided that when a movie rates at 1.5 or lower, or 9.5 or higher on my scale, it warrants more than one sentence."

You've already trashed the integrity of this blog. There's no going back now!

I'm not bothering to log in because it's late (or early, depending on what kind of schedule/company you keep).

Anonymous (IF that is your real name!!) may be correct. If what I want to do is give movie reviews in one sentence, then perhaps I should be able to do so no matter WHAT the quality or caliber of the film.

Thanks, anonymous, for the swift kick in the female equivalent of the testes.

You're right.

Valid point, benevolently received. And how often will a self-proclaimed critic (which I would contend is the only kind of critic) admit they are wrong?

I rescind my aforestated convictions regarding the above quoted text.

You're right. If it's THAT bad or THAT good and I can't say so in a sentence, then what am I doing here?

Thank you for pointing out a flaw in my fresh plan.

The only place you've turned out to be wrong is in saying there's no turning back. Cut me some slack. This is a new idea for me, and even in games as prestigious and established as golf and baseball, the rules have been refined as they go along. This is just one silly girl talking out her ass because she feels like she doesn't go to the movies enough. It's not Homeland Security, man - relax.

Your feedback has helped me revise my rules. Consider yourself a small yet effectual contributor in making the blogosphere a better place.

p.s. I still don't claim to know SHIT about film.

"...trashed the integrity of this blog..." wow...????

i'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on both the Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder...

...regardless of the number of sentences...
