Based soley on style, tone, and my own ignorance, it seems a nicely balanced review. This is my first reading of your writing and I had a thought: I'm really, really, super fortunate, to not really think to much about movies. That's not right. I think about movies all the time. Given the netflix account, the books of dvds, etc, I probably get nine or ten in a week, a fair amount by any standards, but I've noticed that I seem to like most of them. And so I suppose I'm lucky, because the uncritical probably get a lot more pleasure out of things.
Small example. Jet Li's "the one". yeah. That's right. I'm not saying it's good. I'm not even saying it's worth watching. I'm just saying it that the couple of times I've seen it, I"ve always marveled at my ability (and, noticed, I have now switched from calling this inattention to massive critique an 'ability' as oppose to what it likely is, 'childish escapism') to just sit there and take it like a man, so to speak.
Meanwhile, I'm eager to keep reading.
