I choose not to review this terrific little film as much as to discuss how IMDB can prove to be such a useful tool. Maybe it's you that picked up the video box and was a bit curious about the film, so you went home to your computer and looked it up and lo and behold there were twelve comments all singing it's praises and something like 65% of the viewers gave "Heaven" an 8 or above. So you go to the video store the next week and maybe you still don't pick out the film, because Hey I don't know "Supernova" just came out and you wonder if it really is as bad as they say, but finally one night your feeling adventurous and you decide to rent the darn thing and before you know it you're adding another praise to the database. That's my story anyway, but you know the thing that bugs me, the thing that really chaps my butt is that if you're just doing a search for good scores, you'd never rent this, because of the bizzare weighting system deep in the annals of IMDB. Somehow at this writing this film has a 5.9 weighted average. Folks I am here to tell you that I have an MBA in market research from the Wharton School of business and I haven't a clue how this film could rate a 5.9 when only 24% of respondents rank it 6 or below. Now "Let It Ride" is my choice for the most underrated comedy of all time and just try to figure out how they came up with the score that they did on that one...but I digress. See this flick. It's an eight or a very strong seven, and darn it, it's different.
