I'm glad I'm not alone on Babel. I just thought it was absolute crap. I'm at 1 star per 5.
Aud, as for Match Point-- there's a writing construct that made the rest of the movie worth sitting through; and opening that has to do with that ring useage climax. I liked that writing construct. I didn't like much else. (And aside from Ghost World and Lost in Translation, Johansen does nothing for me.)
And as for High School Musical, I admit I watched it once (the first time it aired) and once again with Tom to make fun of it. It's not particularly well-made but it has a nice message (don't pigeonhole yourself.) And because I don't have children, I didn't have to watch it ever, ever again so I don't have to feel the pain. Watch it once. It's fine.
