Is it good if you've never watched the show because you thought it would be stupid?

It's totally standalone, so you don't need to have seen the show. Although you really should check out the show too, because that is extremely excellent

Crash
E for effort.
I'm a sucker for flicks trying to work seperate storylines and pulling them together, 'Altman-style.'
And that kind of worked.
But too many kneefalls were clearly made to ensure some sort of 'happy ending'.

The Return:
Very powerful, thought provoking, beautifully shot, and with an excellent, understated soundtrack. The end photographs are also quite incredible.
9/10

Clearly you missed the entire point of the movie.

Oh, and for you who didn't notice, it was 'The Point', that was clearly missed.
By me.

The Corpse Bride - 8/10
I'd give it 9/10 if it was not for the boring ending. He should have married the dead woman :icon14:

9/10
hadn't seen it before, it was pretty much perfect
It isn't a 10/10 for more personal reasons like 'it was a little bit too depressing' and 'I hate Tim Robbins'.
That's a great movie. I dont hate Robbins though, so it's a 10/10 for me. I mean, come on, he played in Top Gun!

I thought that cast looked familiar. Only watched Firefly once.

Wallace and Gromit Were-Bunny movie, 7/10 generally, 10/10 for an animated flick. Great animation, consistent story with no dead or confusing spots, quality. Pretty kid friendly with a couple of adult jokes, too. If you like Wallace and Gromit, go for it.
