I see very few movies in the theater (too costly with tickets and babysitters) so I have to be choosy. Most of my movie news comes from this site, sad as it may sound. Thanks for the reviews.

I, like everyone else in America, would have avoided that movie with every movie-avoidance muscle in my body were it not for your review. That would have been a terrible mistake; I love that movie. Trying to limit it to other movies I watched solely on your recommendation and would not likely have seen eventually anyway: Memento One Hour Photo Waitress About a Boy Almost Famous Death to Smoochy House of Sand and Fog In the Valley of Ellah Lars and the Real Girl Mean Girls (yeah, I would have just assumed it sucked) Millions Munich Spirited Away Most importantly I have to thank you for United 93.

Outside of that one, the best I've seen from your recommendation was possibly "States of Grace." Although my roommates and I were enthralled by the simple beauty in just the trailer, with all the flack that Richard Dutcher gets around here, I still might not've seen it without your glowing review. That movie . . . there are no words. If I hadn’t been invited to an advanced screening by the Film program at the Y, then “New York Doll” would make my list.

They were beautiful and well worth the time. So, thank you. Definitely “The Orphanage” and “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” would never been viewed by yours truly had it not been for your reviews.

Of course, all I could tell her was that "I heard it was really good." She wouldn't listen if I told her it was in a review by "that 'Snide Remarks' guy." I loved the movie and two of my friends have since seen it based on my recommendation. You never know just how far your influence will go. Also, I plan on seeing (and probably buying) The Martian Child, not based solely on your review, but based on your review plus the fact that John Cusack is awesome. Stranger Than Fiction
