The Best Troglodyte Film I've Ever Seen
+ I love you people
A troglodyte film can be defined as an adolescent parody in which the principals are obsessed with raunchiness, gross-out humor, sexual stereotypes, and libidinous frustration. Given the limitations and triteness of this film genre, made infamous by Porkies and other such trog films, I came into ...

What A Wonderful Story. What was MPAA Thinking?
+ Best of the Dead (Truly Unique)
+ Exceeded Expectation
This has got to be the dumb move by MPAA giving this fun cute zombie film an R rating when it didn't deserve in the first place it was originally rated PG-13. but then for some reason they decided to give it the dread R because of a little zombie violence and little gore, you guys are wimps. ...

I thought this was a very good movie. Don't know what all the religious uproar was about. Remember this is a Fantasy Movie. Hope the bad press doesn't stop them from making the other parts to the story.

As powerful and brilliant Inarritu's first two films were ("Amores Perros" and "21 Grams"), they seem to have naturally led to this quintessential masterpiece, "Babel", a tour-de-force of cinematic poetry and complexity of emotion.
