Wife and I went to see the Guardians of the galaxy, Amusing but not outstanding. Then I look at movies like this and I realize the difference between Entertainment, and Amusement. You entertain thoughts, you are required to think, amusement requires no thought.

In entertainment you need to follow the story line, you need to pay attention to the depth and richness of the dialogue.

Please keep finding more of these gems.

It’s a 7/10 flick for me, with Third Man being 8.5-9/10.

I would give it just 2 1/2 stars. The Nazi isn't doing a very good job hiding his guilt. No suspense. On the other hand, in "The Third Man", even the screen writer, Graham Greene, didn't know what Alida Valli was going to do at the end. Perfect.
