I have a confession to make: I am really starting to enjoy reading negative movie reviews.
If it's a movie I didn't like, I like seeing someone slam it more eloquently than I ever could. If it's a movie I do like, than it's a kick seeing a totally different perspective (for example, I really liked Lord of the Rings, but some of the negative reviews were very amusing), or the writer looks so stupid, and it's entertaining in a different way.
Am I just an evil, sick bastard?
I'm usually the first one to knock critics, but some of them can write well, even if they are full of it.
I just read a review at cnn.com that completely slams "Enough." Funny, funny stuff. I had and have absolutely no desire to see the movie, but love reading the review.
I'm not gaining any valuable insight to film, but it's just so fun. Also, I'm not talking about fan-boy internet type things like, "It sux!!" I mean cleverly written, scathing remarks from bitter, vicious critics. Very entertaining.
I think I've just reserved a place for myself in Cinema Hell.
