http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758758/ My reaction: I liked it, but I couldn’t believe it was a true story.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1155592/ My reaction: It sucked!

Man on Wired sucked enough to move me to write something. The movie didn’t suck so much as the subject of the story, Phillipe Petit. [...]
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409459/ My reaction: It was good. Worth mentioning: Perfect guy movie. Lots of action, tasteful boob shots, and a great soundtrack.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356721/ My reaction: Amusing. Worth mentioning: I think this movie would have been hilarious if I had a degree in philosophy or had a better knowledge of different types of philosophies.
