"Quote whore" or "blurb whore" is a clearly pejorative term used by some movie reviewers (for example, Roger Ebert) to describe other critics who provide reviews well in advance of a movie's release and whose reviews are uniformly positive. Such reviews feature stock phrases (such as "spectacular," "edge-of-the-seat," "thrilling," "riveting," "joy ride," "triumph," "tour de force," etc.), which are almost always followed by one or more exclamation points. Movie studios can then use those quotes in their advertising. ...more on Wikipedia about "Quote whore"

The Stormtrooper effect, also called Stormtrooper syndrome, is a cliché phenomenon in works of fiction where minor characters ( cannon fodder) are unrealistically ineffective in combat against more important characters (almost always the protagonists "equipped" with character shields). The name originated with the armed Imperial Stormtroopers in the original Star Wars trilogy, who, despite their considerable advantages of close range, overwhelming numbers, full armour, military-grade firepower, and noticeable combat effectiveness against non-speaking characters, were incapable of seriously harming the protagonists. The effect is generally employed either to increase the dramatic tension of a chase scene or to accentuate the heroes' fighting prowess. Many claim that Stormtroopers are, in fact, good shots, by virtue missing by only feet with little preparation time, and often firing from the hip. ...more on Wikipedia about "Stormtrooper effect"

The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made is a 2004 DVD documentary listing what its producers, Passport Entertainment, consider the worst films ever made. Some of the nominations also appear in Wikipedia's Films considered the worst ever, along with a rationale for their inclusion. The films go from #50 and keep going until they get to #1, the worst. The point of The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made is not to give the final word on films of the quality, but rather to inspire the viewer to assemble his own list. This point is similar to that of Michael Hart's 1978 book, The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History. ...more on Wikipedia about "The 50 Worst Movies Ever Made"

Winter. ...more on Wikipedia about "Video Watchdog"
