Clichés that belong to garbage (24 movies items)

"Accidental message I gave this movie kudos for its flash-forward opening in my ode to good clichés, but at times writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig was pushing her luck: when the progression of your story hinges on someone accidentally pushing the wrong button on a text or e-mail or what have you, I instinctively start counting strikes. It's almost as bad as someone butt-dialing or leaving the line open (which I should lump in here as well) and hearing something of devastating nature. The Edg"

A good movie

“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, I have to admit that I was actually really impressed by the damned thing and, in this genre, it is probably one of the best movies I have seen.
