Unpopular dislikes:
* Anything by Kevin Smith (with the possible exception of Clerks). Clumsy dialogue, awful direction, no idea what to do with either his camera or his actors.
* The Royal Tennenbaums is a weak, weak movie. It's shallow, manipulative, emotionally one-dimensional...I'll still see Wes Anderson's new one the day it comes out, though, because Rushmore and Bottle Rocket were both brilliant.
* American Pie was stupid and soulless from beginning to end.
* Kids sucked.
Unpopular likes:
* I really liked Matrix Reloaded, and I'm reeeaally looking forward to the third one.
* I thought Eyes Wide Shut was a fine movie. Kubrick and Paul Thomas Anderson have both used Tom Cruise perfectly: he's a truly awful actor, probably the worst major actor alive, but both directors used him for parts in which his character needed to be wooden/emotionally dead.
* Mars Attacks is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Lukas Haas's speech at the end of the movie floors me every time.
* Anyone remember Joe vs. the Volcano? Great movie.
