i too used to avoid reviews. My trick was to go to the local theater in Boston, either Dalton st or inside the Prudential Center, and pick a film randomly based on the mood, the film poster, or the title. Early matinee, cheap tickets.
Got pretty good results until one day i accidentally paid to watch Independence Day.
I have since .. if not grown warmer to it, at least moderated the hate. But i was hoping for a cool "Aliens-style" Scifi film, and instead i got Will Smith punching aliens.
But, no more. From that day onwards, i want to know *exactly* what i am paying to watch.
