I checked imdb, he's credited as 'presenter', the glossary says:
A presenter is person (often famous or well respected) who introduces a movie or show on screen or via voice-over. Some films include a credit "Presented by", or "presents", which indicates the person is an executive producer as opposed to someone who appears in the film.

Domino. Should be no problem to get the early return credit at Hollywood for it. Don't think I made it through 45 minutes. Couldn't even bring myself to fast forward to the Christopher Walken bit.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Final Destination 3 - OMG what a stinker. Only saw this because we were misinformed as to what theater V for Vendetta was showing, and we didn't have time to go some other place.

I'll second this. The wife and I really enjoyed the first two F.D. films so we went to see this the night it opened. Everything that made the first two films clever and creative is missing from this one.

This anti-recommendation is about an old movie that I just watched for the first time on DVD - Sophie's Choice, with Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline. I'm not sure what the whole gist of the movie was supposed to be, but I definitely did not get it, whatever it was.
