I just watched "Inside Llewyn Davis." I got it from Netflix because Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 94% approval. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't that good either. I think some films critics are afraid to call out as emperors with no clothes, lest they don't look cool or sophisticated. |

I've learned that people are so different, its crazy to think that a critic who lives in a loft in a big city will have the same taste as a farmer in the Midwest or a teen in a suburban valley. Critics and ratings are useless. See what appeals to you and not others. |

Well reviewed films appeal to me. |

Then you enjoyed the show and this thread is irrelevant. |

I watched "Anchorman 2" a couple nights ago. I don't think I even smiled during the movie, much less laughed. I simply don't get the allure of Will Ferrell. The only thing I found interesting was the fact that they shot it here and it's always fun to see how they use local venues in a movie. Other than that I could have slept through the whole thing. Obviously the first one (which I never saw) did very well or they wouldn't have made a 2nd one. I just don't get it. |

In an admission that the movie sucked, there was talk about re-releasing it with none of the same jokes. I get the appeal of Will Farrell -- he is very unchallenging -- but I find him very overrated. |

Citizen Kane was the most boring, difficult-to-sit through films we have ever seen. |

I didn't much like the Coen's period movie where the tornado hits at the end (forget the title). I don't think they've 'shot their wad' (I did enjoy "Burn After Reading"), but they prove that they can create stinkers, too. |
