    It bothers me that actual critics have succumbed to awarding a "guilty pleasure" award. I would have thought critics have enough conviction in their opinions as to just realise a good movie is a good movie. Even then, wasn't "Fright Night" well received?

      CaptainCanada A guilty pleasure is something that they think is not a good movie, but they enjoy anyway for whatever reason.

      Frank Lee I agree completely, Glennau. Wasn't it Duke Ellington who said, "If music SOUNDS good, then it IS good"?
