There is hype surrounding ALL movies, and they all pretty much disappoint. Not too many notables here.

I LOVE movies...

Hitchhiker's Guide I thought was great, but I read the books after the movie, and enjoyed them more. Though I would have enjoyed them regardless.

Flop: TITANIC
Flop: any sequel beyond #3 of anything

Hot: Crash
Hot: Wedding Crashers

I guess it depends on how you quantify "hype", and how little hype can actually be considered enough to refer to it as "hype".

There's lots of great, small, art house films that don't have any tv spots, and the only trailers you'd find are on their websites. They don't have any promo contests, or booths set up at trade shows....And they only screen at smaller theatres around the city like the independent theatres, and Cumberland/Carlton.

To the hot list, i'd also like to add:

It's all gone Pete Tong
Old Boy
And Batman Begins which definitely lived up to the hype. Many of my friends said it still lived up to the hype even after I raved on and on about it.

I didn't get to see Batman Begins, but I heard it was hot... Might have to go check out one of the dingy theatres around here ... or just wait a couple months. Bah. Someone'll download it for me LOL

I've heard multiple things about Four Brothers, I might still try to see that.

Anyone seen Red Eye? I need feedback.

Four Brothers was pretty good.

Not Oscar material good, but definitely entertaining.

There's a "theatre" here in Guelph called The Bookshelf... it's actually a book store with a kind-of theatre in it... They play a ton of indy-films and only like the hugely successful big-screeners. It's kinda cool to see what can happen there. A cool flick that they played was called "Mad Hot Ballroom", it was about teaching New York kids how to dance in order to keep them in school in some backwards way, but it was a good one.

I was expecting to hate Sin City and was dragged into the theatre to see it by an "artsy" and absolutely LOVED it...what a fucking wicked concept ...but yeah it's definitely NOT for everyone...sorry to hear you hated it
