Yeah. There's something powerful about a title that's a complete sentence speaking to the audience - another Peckinpah example, "Ride the High Country." “Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.” Yeah. There’s something powerful about a title that’s a complete sentence speaking to the audience – another Peckinpah example, “Ride the High Country.”

And this summer has been particularly brutal for movie names - Hellboy II: The Golden Army? Yawn. Those are pretty solid, but I fear they’re the exception.

Everything is Illuminated? Before the Devil Knows You're Dead? Love 'em all.

Not a fan of any of those flicks ... but at least they didn't stick with adding only a number after the title ... Is that an example of a good title, or a bad title?

How could you resist that one? And yeah, you don't expect greatness from a movie that can't even must a clever title. Great title choice. How could you resist that one?

And yeah, you don’t expect greatness from a movie that can’t even must a clever title.

The moment I heard there was a movie with that title, I had to see it. Unfortunately, I think the film itself is way too slow and unfocused. I guess it's nice of Hollywood not to trick us into going to bad movies by using good titles today. With most titles, they're at least up front with how unoriginal most of the films are.
