When studios entrust big Hollywood blockbusters to strong, intelligent directors, like Steven Soderbergh or Sam Raimi (Spider-Mans 1 and 2) or Alfonso Cuarón (the latest Harry Potter), I say `God bless `em`, because those films will have legs and might stand the test of time. But if they rely on just product, like two examples from this year, Van Helsing (2004) and Catwoman (2004) - I`m glad they tanked.

- Bradley Wayne PennyI don`t think Alfonso was a big expert on Potter either. He was feeling his way through it more than I was.
