Movies that Need Warnings
Posted: Sep 07, 2010 11:56AM
I'm not talking about the rating system that indicates what age the movie is appropriate for. I'm talking about warnings about bad or unresolved endings. I know many people like movies as a form of art (like literature vs genre fiction), but I prefer to be entertained. I like my ...
