THE MOST OVER/UNDERRATED FILMS OF 2007
Copyright 2008 Steve Rhodes
Continuing with the tradition that I started many years ago, I am sending
out a list of what I consider to be the most overrated and underrated
films of the year. A film in my overrated list doesn't mean necessarily
that I disliked it but that I feel that it did not deserve the amount of
praise that it got. And conversely, an underrated/overlooked film is not
necessarily one that I loved but one that I feel did not get the amount of
praise that it deserved. Or maybe most everyone liked it, take Enchanted
for example, but few loved it the way I did.
If you want to read my reviews, you can find 3,300 of them at my web site:
InternetReviews.com. I also maintain an email distribution list to which
I send out my new reviews. Drop me a line at

line if you'd like to be added to the list. It's free.
