The Da Vinci Code

Alex, you watch a lot of movies if I recall. Do you find that most reviewers are snobbish? Seriously. It seems like most don't relate to the common, average movie watcher. The movie reviewer in the paper I get cannot review a movie without referring and making comparisons to at least three others throughout the review. If I haven't seen those other movies, I have no common frame of reference.

I don't see many movies, so I guess my expectations are lower? I don't expect art or a perfect story as most reviewers seem to. I expect to be entertained.

Perhaps it is not unlike things in life that I consider myself to be knowledgable about. For example, I hate seeing poorly coached basketball games, when many who watch basketball casually wouldn't notice it.
