The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.

What am I to think when six weekends of this year already have been won by slasher movies that were not screened for critics and got bad ratings on the tomato meter when they were screened?

Most of us do not consciously look at movies.

It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.

The target audience didn't care that we hated those movies because they just expected us to hate them.

A lot of people just go to movies that feed into their preexisting and not so noble needs and desires: They just go to action pictures, and things like that.
