Tom Cruise in Rainman
This page presents a positive + negative list of movies I happen to like + dislike.
I hope that the time for the big productions finally has come
and that the future will bring a wider diversification of low-budget productions
spread across the web.

2 Considered a Waste of Time
- every movie with Sandra Bullock, unless you happen to like her appearance + ignore the plot
- same for many more productions that are good at presenting violence + aggression for the praise of justice
+ can't handle one good sex scene
