  1. 3 stars for a gross-out “Taxidermia”, 3.5 for a 0/10 like Shortbus (okay, it’s got 8/10 9/10 and such on IMDB, dunno why) and Renaissance (choke) and Hula Girls at 2.5? And A 10/10 movie (from IMDB folk) like Fountain at 1.5?

    Should I point out that movies not aimed at big audiences are likely going to be all over the map on how people feel about them? Oh well, when I get through my backlog of 100 DVDs to watch, hopefully Fountain will be on DVD so I can analyse it properly — I had high hopes for R. but they did not pan out.

    As a great philosopher once said… “whatever”.

  2. Craig, this is a fantastic body of work. I am impressed with your reviews and your stamina. I’m bookmarking this so I can keep an eye out for the good films that I missed seeing myself. Well done.
