Crazy Kenneth’s single criterion “entertain” doesn’t do much to help a fledgling reviewer get their game on. There is no easy answer to Tacqua’s question, but good reviewers develop a personality based upon what criteria they judge a film by. “Entertain” is too broad because that admits pornography as film. If any images strung together deserve, in their own right, to be loved and viewed again and again simply BECAUSE they are strung together and projected, then film is an inferior medium. And bad films are those that lack a single vision of the world. 1980’s Hollywood “Committee” movies are bad because they lack a unique insight which governs all aspects of the film, from story to everything else (this is a good definition of “propoganda” as well). I enjoyed watching that movie where Arnie goes to Mars. Would I recommend that anyone else to watch it? No. It would be better to give them a QT dose.
In short, if you enjoy watching bad movies…whoa that chick is hot… that’s cool. Just don’t recommend to me that I watch them. At least unless you’re willing to argue.
I skipped ALL Resident Evils. Does that mean I’m not allowed to be cool? Piece
