Welcome to Salty Popcorn - my site dedicated to expressing my opinion on films. Most of the reviews I read in the paper make me angry that they are either all so negative or I completely disagree with them. So now it's my turn. I hope you enjoy it and if you do sign up for updates on the left hand side. Thanks for stopping in!! PLEASE NOTE: I rate my films different from the standard 5 star approach. As I work in the cinema industry I am aware that the most expensive general admission ticket is $17-. My rating of a film is based on what I think the ticket is worth in a dollar amount up to $17- (a perfect film). If I think a film is worth about $5- it's probably not worth watching in my opinion. Please also welcome my other writers Dave and Sean - Salty Popcorn's other talented writers. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

I'm stoked that Heath won this award, it is so well deserved.

I can't believe ANYTHING beat Dexter for Best Television Drama! that is seriously one of the best and innovative shows ever made.

MIchelle - I could not agree more. Kate rocks and I really want to see both of those movies.

Morgan - I did see the J Lo dress - totally hot and god she knows how to wear them!!

CJ - also stoked re Heath - he so deserves it but at the expense of Leo missing out again did hurt! Not a huge fan of Dexter - I just found it hard to get into the first season - I might have to try again. I just remember him as the gay guy from 6ft Under - one of my all time fave shows.

Anonymous - totally agreed!

Thanks heaps for commenting people - have a great day!
