Yes, thank you for the reviews, the first one appears highly accurate. The reviewer notes "The screenplay does most of the job to keep you engaged, and it's fireworks, I tell you." Yeah, this film had really good writing, any literate viewer would call that out immediately.
The second one, alas, he would be much better watching Indiana Jones and dial of destiny or some Disney crap.
"The Artifice Girl has plenty of Truth, but not nearly enough Spectacle because it rarely finds the Spectacle within the Truth." What the hell does that mean? And was it Necessary to Capitalize each of the Feature Words? What kind of
spectacle was he expecting in a thought-provoking examination of the rights of children and AI. Guess the director should have shoehorned a car chase in there somewhere.

Good or bad Onkel Neal, this is how you do it, perhaps if you'd done this the director would have offered you a daytrip around Hollywood so you could hobnob it with the A list celebrities of the day.
Oh, by the way Onkel, stick with it and don't give up the day job just yet.

Haha, you don't really know me, do you, Moonlight? I am not interested in reviewing movies, I would suck at it. I am self-aware enough to know that I don't have the necessary literary and intellectual horsepower to analyze good cinema effectively. And I never have been any interest in "hobnobbing" with celebrities. I've had plenty of opportunities, believe me. I've been invited to a ton of press events and parties at E3 and other media gatherings. But if I am not interviewing them, then I don't need to waste their time fawning over them. My interest in this case is not the personalities but the art, the work that the creative team produced. At my age, I've read so many books and seen so many movies, when something actually good comes around -- that's what I am interested in.
