My picks are in bold

[Richardm]

These are the only ones I have seen in the order of my preference.

I, ROBOT I, liked it.

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN Captivating.

SHREK 2 The letdown of the sequel.

SPIDER-MAN 2 Boooring.

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND I know I saw it but don’t remember what it was about.

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST I watched it until the scourging.

TROY I watched it for about fifteen minutes and of that I am proud.

[Tetsuo]

Thank Christ, they actually do have some sense - House of Flying Daggers is nowhere to be seen.

@Tetsuo

Thank Christ, they actually do have some sense - House of Flying Daggers is nowhere to be seen.

Wow, Hollywood has finally taken off its Kung Fu Beer Goggles and saw that House of Flying Daggers was nothing but a well-dressed steaming pile of cinematic b.s. I’ve never been to a movie that was so bad the audience was laughing out loud at what should have been the most climactic, most dramatic scenes of the movie. I know I, for one, was rooting for everyone to die, just to end the movie that much faster.

Unfortunately that may be a bit premature. From what I’ve seen, HoFD has been getting rave reviews. :s

That’s because they love anything that looks exotic and reminds them of Crouching Tiger. HOFD, reminded me of a good PBS special on the Tang Dynasty
