December 1, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 08:39 PM) Hmm... I don't really agree with what Ebert said because I love movies and I have seen many many many! that I have liked. If I don't like a movie I don't watch it anymore or "learn" to like it. I am not saying I have watched more movies than Ebert lol, but if I don't like a movie that's it nothing else to it. To add on to this list though of a movie that got bad reviews but was fairly decent was The Jacket. The story was ofcourse unoriginal, but there were a few things I liked about it. i think you misunderstand what I am saying. I am saying that you have to have a different mindset for each film. You can't just judge movies by one thing. For example if you go to 2 Fast 2 Furious with the same mindset as the Godfather. If you did that you would hate it. However if you go in not expecting a really smart movie but an entertaining movie with great action scenes than you will like it. Edited December 1, 200520 yr by White Sox Josh

Paul Sarone: This skin is three or four years old, whatever shed it has grown since then. A line that has haunted me for years. Classic Cinema.

[Aguado stomps on a cockroach.] Aguado: Homicide, Ventura. Now how ya gonna solve that one? Ace Ventura: Good question, Aguado. First, I'd establish a motive. In this case the killer saw the size of the bug's DICK and became insanely jealous. Then I'd lose 40 pounds… PORKIN' his wife. I love this quote.

Yes, most people expect the same thing when they watch 2 fast 2 furious and boyz in the hood. I know i did.

Wait, you're calling that a bad movie? The director was nominated for an Oscar for that one, I think. Speaking of Oscar...maybe it's my Marisa Tomei crush, but the bad movie by that name starring Stallone would be one of my choices for bad movies that I really enjoyed.

One of the best I have ever seen. However if you go into 2 Fast 2 Furious expecting this really smart movie like Boyz n the Hood you will hate it. However if you go into it for great action scenes, cars going really fast, and to be entertained than you will like it.

My favorite Marisa Tomei movie: "What the f*** is going on here, Vinny? You f***ing up this case or what?" "A little? You've been thrown in jail twice."

December 1, 200520 yr Author Also Tyrese an Eva Mendes are very good. Tyrese i think is a great actor. He has an energy that was obvious in Four Brothers and 2 Fast 2 Furious.

December 1, 200520 yr I believe that "Footloose" may be the dumbest/worst movie ever. That said, how come whenever it's on tv, I can't not watch it?
