Customer Reviews

Guys Like to Watch Movies with Girls, too...

I totally disagree with the negative review posted previously. I think movie reviews are entirely subjective (thus the long-standing success of Ebert and Etc.). If everybody thought the same, there wouldn't be a Shrek sequel. Personally, I thought Rear Window was one of the more romantic Hitchcock films, and the restored version is a superb suspensful movie and the romantic tension between James Stewart and Grace Kelly is simply amazing (she passed up "On the Waterfront" to do Rear Window). And yes, the Jay & Silent Bob duo (Kevin Smith, et al) were good in Dogma, but I couldn't make it through "JB...strikes back." So, like all books which provide subjective guidelines for movies (or other media), you will either "jibe" with what the editor/author, reviewer/blogger, have to say, or you won't. True film lovers will usually give any movie a chance (well, maybe not the computer-animated Barbie direct-to-dvd stuff), and that can be an interesting way for couples to find a middle ground and "connect" to different ways of thinking beyond the traditional date night thriller or stab-fest. Movies which couples might not see at the theatre can be more suitable for home viewing on a comfy couch, and thus the value of books like Cinematherapy.
