“'Man is an endangered species,' announces one of the titles at the beginning of the sci-fi lump 'Battlefield Earth.' And after about 20 minutes of this amateurish picture, extinction doesn't seem like such a bad idea.”

“'Black Hawk Down' wants to be about something, and in the midst of the meticulously staged gunfire, the picture seems to choose futility arbitrarily.”

“When a director shifts gears as often as does Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, the man behind the emotionally rich debut film 'Amores Perros,' you may wonder if he knows what he wants.”

“While you're busy sitting down making a list of goals, it wouldn't be a bad idea to actually write some about your home. Start making a list of things that need to be repaired and areas where you could increase the efficiency and value of your home.”

“I've never seen bad drawing destroy a good idea. On the other hand, I've never seen a good drawing save a bad idea.”

“A manager can have a great idea but if the players don't understand it, or don't follow you, your idea doesn't have much use. On the other side, you can have a bad idea, but if the players are convinced it, and you transmit it well, it can work.”
