Rated 2.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 3.8 \| 4 rating	Before I Forget Jacques Nolot 2007 \| Feature, Featured, Narrative, Spotlight This was a low point for me. The film had some good points. I liked the portrayal of aging gigalos and seeing some of the problems they have. But, I had some trouble keeping up with the timeframes of the movie. And the ending, I am not sure what was going on, and I could not find anyone else near me in the theater who could either.	9/7/2008
Rated 5.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 0.0 \| 2 rating	Butch Jamie Michelle Ehlen 2007 \| Feature, Narrative This was a very funny film. It had some predictable scenes, but overall very good. How often is a cat a main character?	9/7/2008
Rated 3.0/5 Stars 1 2 3 4 5 4.0 \| 3 rating	Ciao Yen Tan 2007 \| Feature, Narrative This was a good story. I thought some of the scenes lingered too long. Also, the dialog delivery was not smooth and flowing, it seemed a bet too much like reading a script.	9/7/2008
