Like most, I tend to do the research first, via HDC, the IMDb, books by Chas. Balun and word of mouth. I almost NEVER follow the "professional" film critics thumbs ups or downs as I rarely agree with them. I will often do impulse buys (I rarely rent, just a few more bucks and you can own it) but when I do, I look for directors, writers, actors, and labels that have been noted as "a good bet" although I still end up buying the occasional turd, But I like "B" movies as well as the multi-million dollar films anyway.
