Mr & Mrs Smith
Hilarious. Go see it.
I feel like I just beat a kitten to death... with a bag of puppies.

I noticed this when I went Friday afternoon (opening day). It was really weird how many elderly women were watching what I thought (and still think) was an action movie. Couples in their 60s or 70s and small groups of women of about that age made up half the audience.The crowds for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" were 56 percent female and 57 percent older than 25, segments of the audience that are typically less inclined to rush out to catch a movie on opening weekend.

A movie that everybody kind of likes is not necessarily a good movie. Similarly, a movie that some people hate but other people love is loved by some people, and I might love it. I find a critic whose views align with my own and generally go with that.Dwindlehop wrote:Got 62 on rottentomatoes.com and 55 on metacritic.com. Is it really that good? It'll be sad if I have to stop trusting metacritic.
I think a neat tool would be to take massive critic databases, have users enter some movie preferences, and use this information to find the closest critic. Better yet, this information could be fed back into the database: every user could be treated like a critic. I guess Amazon does similar things with "People who buy x also buy", but multiple variables should increase accuracy.
