Personally I think Rein Over Me was an incredible movie. There something about comedians that do same movie over and over then do a serious flick that I really enjoy for some reason.
example:
Punch Drunk Love
Rein Over Me
Eternal Sunshine
Stranger Than Fiction
Maybe it's like the theory that a girl will hang out with a really ugly girl to make herself look better. Take away the ugly girl and she goes back to average. Michael Cera should take note.

Had someone tell me earlier this week that kids who were born the year Aladdin came out will soon be turning 18. That's a sobering thought

There Will Be Blood: Best acted movie of the decade.

Ah the good old movie snobs.
Of course you are going to say you loved There will be blood and look down from your high horse on those of us who want our 2,5 hour back. No story, flat characters, subplots going nowhere, overracted (yes I said that), terrible score, laughable ending = boring boring boring movie about evil capitalists and crazy evangelists.....

There are a lot of ways to enjoy movies, I enjoyed 'Pineapple express' for very different reasons than I enjoyed 'Last king of scotland'. I walked in to TWBB with 'high horse' expectations and was thoroughly satisfied, it was a movie that flagrantly discarded excitement and glamour for era-accuracy and grittiness. Creating a viewing experience that is unique into itself and very rewarding for 'high horse' viewers.
If you don't consider yourself a 'movie snob', why bother with TWBB? reading a review or two should tell you it's not your kind of movie and to take a pass. Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it's crap or that other people only pretend to like it.

I go to a lot of movies racking up nearly 9000 scene points, which IMO adds to my credibility. My top 10 are as follows.
1. Road To Perdition
2. Gladiator
3. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith (I cried during order 66, poor Ki-Adi Mundi)
4. Inglorious Basterds
5. Snatch
6. Shaun Of The Dead
7. Watchman
8. Blood Diamond
9. Catch Me If You Can
10. Grindhouse
4.
