I think you're overestimating the intelligence (filmwise) of your average movie goer. I'd be willing to place money on the fact that if you walked into any random showing of The Dark Knight or The...

Certainly not a cult director? While Cronenberg may be one of the more widely know directors deemed "cult", he is still most definitely a cult director (even with the inclusion of A History of...

Cronenbergs early films were certainly "cult" films. Scanners and Videodrome are basically listed under "cult film" in the dictionary. With his last two films he has proven to be more accessible and...

And with that you ignored every single retort I offered to your rebuttals. Great technique, it saves you from actually having to think or formulate your own opinion.

The film is far from "****ing brilliant", it's actually pretty ridiculous at places. Harvey Dent's character arch is so rushed that it's not believable. The characters monologue to explain the story...
