A Word on Spoilers

We generally avoid spoilers, because people tend to get mad when you ruin the movie for them. (Go figure!) However, there are times when we feel it is necessary to divulge details of the plot to explain our opinion of the film. We do not provide warnings, so if you are the type of person who dislikes spoilers, please refrain from reading our reviews until after you have seen the film. Or just skim them – we need those page views, you know.
