Typically it's because someone is delighted by it that someone else is compelled to say "this is the worst thing I've ever seen in my life."

It is always very interesting to me when i see how differently people may react to something, or how a person, a film fan, can be totally delighted and amazed by seeing a movie and the other person, a film fan too, would say ''This is the worst thing i've ever seen in my life''.

Eyes Wide Shut, Barry Lyndon and The Shining will always be the trilogy of great Kubrick for me.

Cheri (Stephen Frears, 2009) 3/10

What crap. Lovely costumes which should get a nod. Rupert Friend is such an insipid leading man. Kathy Bates is amusing.....but the film is another misfire for Michelle Pfeiffer on her quest for an Oscar..

Near Dark (Kathryn Bigelow) - 9/10

Easily better than The Lost Boys.

Watched Phoebe in Wonderland last night.

It was a bit uneven, trying to be too many things at once, but it has firmed up my belief that Elle Fanning is the true talent of the Fanning Family. She is incredibly natural and enchanting. She certainly made up for many of the movie's failures. Patricia Clarkson was also nicely used in the film, though Bill Pullman was awful and Felicity Huffman was severely disappointing.

I think Kubrick is a pretty great director but A.I. (while being the best film of Spielberg's career, albeit one with a too bluntly-realized brilliant ending) is better than quite a few of his films.

or A Clockwork Orange for that matter.

I think it would have been good, but it wouldn't be the polished film we have today. It's not nearly as mainstream as Spielberg could have made it though, and that's a good thing. There would probably be a lot more silence or classical music in Kubrick's version too.

Just generalizing.

It's a near perfect movie, so a Kubrick version would not have been as good.

And as things worked out, Kubrick's last movie was his one great film.

Easily better.
