You could likely have a script extract imdb movie titles so links are more elegant  |

yep fargo is one of my all time favorite movies and i saw it when it was first released and several times since. Coen brothers went through a bit of an odd patch but they really came back with No Country, although it is blood soaked, I think the body count during the two hours is way over 20.. |

Now I've got to watch Fargo again, lol....it's so oddly quirky and darkly humorous.
Definitely will be seeing No Country, thanks for mentioning it!
EDIT: I think we're creating a case for a Movie forum!

Re: Movie review and discussion forum
said by justin :I rely on imdb ratings, they usually work for me. I can't remember ever like a movie that was rated by imdb less than a 7. It doesn't work so well on the top-side however, but it works as an elimination rule. That's normally my elimination rule, but I also look at the arithmetic mean and median. If one or both are above 7 I will be much more willing to watch the film even if the wholistic rating is below 7.
But yeah, I actually do like this forum idea.

There have been a good amount of movies that have been release No Country for Old Men was one of them. Eastern Promises was another too, which had some outstanding acting, it should be checked out. |

yep to that you have to glance at the distribution in case it is one of those movies that gets 1/5th of the negative votes as drive-by zeros! |

| I read the book and can see why the lower rating. If you haven't read the book you're going to be annoyed that the movie just ceased without a satisfactory conclusion, it is designed to be part 1 of whatever. Unlike LOTR the book wasn't written as three semi-satisfying chunks. |

Maybe the forum could be Media Review?
I fear too much music discussion choking the Movie discussion.
Or too much game-play discussion choking the Movie discussion.
Unless all three were spun off! |

Re: Movie review and discussion forum
I would say beware mature content, but an inventive story line with an interesting hook.
I would give it a 6.8
(The wife did not know the story line when she picked it!)
EDIT: Can this thread be moved to the Movie Forum . . . Please?

Good idea, would encourage more indie film discussion (not much, if any seen now). |
