Truth Facts by Wulff & Morgenthaler for February 13, 2015

Yup. It was “Rudy” and “Dead Poet’s Society” that did it for me… I HATED those “classics!”

Ah, the facts are back.

My motto for decades has been; “If the local critic likes it; I DO NOT see it; if the critic hates it; I’ll probably love it!”…. ;-)

In the case of 50 shades of Grey, I’m pretty sure I’d agree with the critics

Actually for me, the critics and I are usually about on the same page.

The trick is to find a critic who likes the same stuff you do. Saves a lot of money.

Film critics get severely burned out. Every week they see 3-5 new movie variations of the fact that there are 16 basic scripts, and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I usually don’t agree with the movie tastes of university cinema history instructors employed as movie critics when I want $12 worth of escape and entertainment.Spoiler Alert: The Oscar for Leading Actress goes to the best nude scene.

Yay! Truth Facts is back!

Except Peter Travers. His reviews are usually spot on! At least for my tastes.

I’ve found rottentomatoes to be a pretty good guide.

If it has a half star, it’s a keeper.

There’ve been some movies that got in the 40% range of Rotten Tomatoes that I thought were wonderful, and others that got in the 90’s that I found deadly dull. Critics don’t like the kind of movies that people enjoy.
