There is a point when a personal opinion shades off into an error of fact.

In fact, Cannonball Run II. I used to pick that as the worst movie ever made.

That's probably when I get the most angry at American movies, when they just so cynically manipulate the audience without even trying to give a good story.

I love having messy hair. I put in a lot of effort to have it look as messy as possible.

The act is judged of by the event.

I think every good, entertaining movie should have a message. I really believe that, because if you do it without it, the film feels a little bit soulless.
