I loved the Namesake. You are so right though it is not for everyone.

No Johnny, you're not. I found 300 pretty dull. Not even "bad" so much as "profoundly uninteresting." I guess you can't greenscreen character or plot into a movie, no matter what else you can do.

I was looking forward to hearing your opinion, Matt. It was like watching Zack Snyder play Mortal Kombat for two hours straight, and all the while hogging the controller.
