What was wrong with 11:14?! That was one of my favorite movies of the year!

Not horrible, but the editing and such was unbearable. The acting was decent. But the story was pretentious and predictable as ****. It lead to a very boring time on my part. A decent sophomore movie, sure, but no Golden Palm winner, IMHO.

I don't see why you all seem so surprised, it bombed, and got little critical acclaim.

Wolfie Keep on howling!

I haven't heard/read any reviews whatsoever on 11:14. By what I could see, I felt it was an undiscovered gem.

I think IMDB gave it a 7.5 or something.

Couldn't have bombed, as it was never in theatres. Only indie circuits, and considering it ended up being released by New Line a full 3 years AFTER it was made, has to account for something.

Besides, of course movies like these are predictable. That doesn't mean they can't be enjoyed. The film was intentionally over the top, not ostentatious or pretentious. It was an extreme dark comedy, and I thought all involved were FANTASTIC, namely Hillary Swank and Patrick Swayze.

I agree with the "undiscovered gem" remark. It took a major distributor to out the movie 3 years after its conception, to get it the attention it deserves, and never sought out. 100% on RottenTomatoes, glowing reviews all around. An incredible writing/directing debut, and we'll probably never hear from the guy again, and that's fine with me.

You got me.

Sure, it's rated a 100% by a lot of critics I've never heard of, but if that counts then we can note that it's rated a 55% by the users.

An opinion is an opinion.

You have to also consider amateur critics. User comments like: "It sucks because I hate it." "Patrick Swayze should die so this movie sucks." And then there's gonna be a good percent of reviews from people that didn't even watch it.

I'd respect the critics that are involved with the site more than any loser user that can post any rating because "it's just a matter of opinion".

Domino. Nice visuals but pretty boring if you ask me.

Bah. One of the bravest and most sincere parodies EVER, IMO.

I thought "Not Another Teen Movie" was pretty funny.

Yeah, I agree with that, they're decent but they're definitely not close to being as good as Henson's material. "Muppets Tonight" wasn't too bad though, IMO.

Back To The Future II, okay.
