You know, as the old saying goes, you just “can’t please all the people all of the time”. Well as film fans, it seems that no matter what goes into a film we all have something to gripe about. It could be dialogue, a casting decision, the story line, music, the director and so on, but there’s bound to be one element keeping us from liking every film. So I’ve comprised a rather personal and unique topic to post on the site. The list below highlights the 5 films I love to look at but, as you’ll find out because of one reason or another, I am not entirely fond…

G-S-T Quick 5 – Movies I've Warmed Up To…

Does ‘Nostalgia’ Make a Movie Better Than It Is?
After seeing Blade Runner for the first time about 6 years ago, I have been wondering ever since “why the world is infatuated with Blade Runner?” I’ll admit it looks cool but I don’t think it’s that great a movie. Sure, it gets high points for style and imagery but the ending alone killed it for me.
