I'm a bit surprised that “The Help” is that high but I shouldn't be. I'm a bit surprised that “The Tree of Life” is that low but I shouldn't be. I should revisit in a year and see what's changed. Someone remind me. Vinny? Reed?

“The Help”: It's funny cuz it's untrue.

No preconceived ideas of what will happen, just a curiosity. To be honest, I don't get IMDb ratings. It's mostly fanboy stuff and yet “12 Angry Men” is No. 6 all time. There's a story there.

OK, I'll mark my calendar. But beware because Tree of Life is only going to plummet downward. It is not a movie that will be appreciated outside of a theater setting. (Yes, I know almost all movies' IMDb ratings decline over time because the demographics shift, but I imagine that casual viewers will be particularly unkind to Tree of Life, especially if it wins a major Oscar).
