I liked the article. However it forgot to mention that when you venture outside your "comfort zone," you might find something that is ambitious yet flawed; but you stand a better chance of seeing something that is *very* flawed and probably not very ambitious, either. You have to be willing to take that chance in order to strike secret gold.

I do like to wander off the beaten path, so I have been disappointed a lot, but I have also — like the article's author — been thrilled by finding either some beautiful parts or even a hidden masterpiece or personal favourite. One way that I try to better my chances of finding that gem on Rotten Tomatoes is not by the Tomatometer, but just by finding key words or phrases in some of the review clips that appeal to me. FWIW, I'm not sure it's worked out particularly well so far this year. Hehe!

While it teased the long-awaited third movie in the series, the EW piece also revealed a few interesting tidbits about the original films. Mainly how the first movie was darker and twisted compared to the fun-loving classic we got according to Matheson and Solomon:

“One of the popular kids in the school ended up friends with Hitler for some reason,” Solomon says.

“This tells you how ostracized we felt by the popular kids,” jokes Matheson.
