Clash of the Titans a failure, lemme suggest something else
If we were duped with 3D magic, I would not be too disappointed. This film does not deserve to be labeled as 3D. And otherwise, the plot is not strong. Action scenes are not satisfactory. But I would see it anyway because I tend to watch whatever exists there:)
Thanks to Criticker.com, I have found some interesting movies recently. Check out: Madeo (2009), Seksmisja (1984), Ai no mukidashi (2008)

The opening night. Somehow, the films always ends up being disappointing. Last year it was Welcome – depressing. This year, it was a crowd-pleaser, and I seem to be the only person who strongly disliked it. Le Concert is about a former orchestra miraculously playing in Paris and reaching “the ultimate harmony”. Considering they hadn’t played together in 30 years and their soloist never actually performed Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, it’s rather surreal how it all works out.
