Might make things a little easier if you post the reviews themselves.

should only be seen in a well-equipped large-screen cinema


I always find this disheartening. I just can't see it happening. And especially so when I've already watched it on my little telly. Still, Lawrence of Arabia has the chance. Someone ought make a collection of cinema onlys.

I wish you'd watch Spirit of the Beehive and Silent Light. Whether you like them or not, I'd find your reaction interesting.

I'm disappointed at the lack of stars for my review of Air Force One

This feels a little like panhandling, but what the hell. Spare some change? ;)

I enjoy some of the humorous quips in other peoples reviews, so I attempted a few. Recently got a star for this one:
The Core
Will drill its way straight to your heart... by way of your brain.


Some of my starless attempts: Over the Top, Cobra, Double Impact, Weekend at Bernie's, Life, Flight of the Phoenix (2004)

Check them out here if you can be bothered. Anyone else with their own quips?

My American Pie 2 review is lacking in love.

A very constructive critique indeed, but I can't quite agree with certain views.

As for me, I wish my 'Brazil' review gained some recognition, but really it's probably yet another overblown, over-dramatic reviews as most of them are. I honestly can't quite understand how am I getting so many stars, of all my reviews I don't think there are that many star worthy ones.

P.S. I've never seen 'The Core', but hell, that review is genius.

Hard to say any one in particular, but I don't really think my reviews are very insightful (many of them just written quickly right after seeing a film and without having given it the necessary thought) and often the reviews that I don't really consider to be of much value get stars and often I'll hope someone stars a review of mine that I think is quite good, but it doesn't happen. Don't really know what does it.

EDIT: Actually, a case in point would be my latest review of Den Du Frygter (english title "Fear Me Not"). Not surprising that I haven't gotten a star for it obviously, as only 3 other people have seen it (it's a rather new Danish film) but my review of that, I thought, was actually quite good. The film was good as well.

Also, The Core is a piece of shit that would be worthless but for the fact that it's the source of probably the most laughs I've ever had from a film. What a steaming pile of garbage. My review of it is incidentally an example of the idiotic quick comments I'm prone to make right after watching a film. :P

Hell yeah I remember that review and I starred that shit.

EDIT: What the hell I totally remember giving that review a star as I laughed when I read it. It is starred now for sure!
