Maybe you meant that you hadn't seen a movie at all since the Patriot, in which case I retract my sneering look :)
"The Patriot" was the best movie last year, maybe the best with real substance since then. Someone asked me in private mail if "Fellowship Of The Ring" was okay to take a teenager to: if you have no problem with the violence of "The Patriot", then "Fellowship" is spot-on perfect.
What is it people have against "The Patriot" all of a sudden? :-/ That's like THE FReeper movie :-)
yeah, and what's all this crap about Star Wars "raising the bar"? :-P
