Amiable, effervescent leading lady, in Hollywood from 1929 but virtually unknown until she very touchingly played a waif opposite second husband Charles Chaplin in "Modern Times" (1936). Goddard was one of the final contenders for the much sought-after role of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind" (1939) but ultimately lost out to Vivien Leigh. (One story has it that a possible scandal surrounding her marital status with Chaplin may have kept her from getting the role.) Goddard, an extremely pretty and vivacious brunette, nevertheless became a popular favorite in comedy and period melodrama, remaining a top star at Paramount throughout the 1940s. She is best known as part of George Cukor's all-star distaff ensemble in the riotous "The Women" (1939) and as Bob Hope's co-star in the enjoyable horror comedies "The Cat and the Canary" (1939) and "The Ghost Breakers" (1940).

Rotten Tomatoes allows critics and audiences to rate movies separately, and both scores are usually within 10% of each other. But audiences and critics don't always agree on the movies that deserve a high score.
Thanks to an investigative report by Vulture, moviegoers now know that the reviews themselves may be poisoned. Lane Brown and Luke Winkie reported that publicity company Bunker 15 may have been tipping the scales to get small films good Rotten Tomato scores and why it was so important that they do.
The French crime comedy "Paulette" (available on DVD and Blu-ray on Feb. 9) is a classic fish out of water story -- except this fish is an extremely racist old woman who finds herself deep in the world of drug dealing.
Paulette Goddard, the gamin star of more than 40 films of the 1930s and '40s, died Monday at her home in southern Switzerland.

'” Johnny Berchtold and Rob Lowe star in the film about a recent college grad desperate to find his missing dog. Based on the true story of a lost — and found — dog.
The scoring system of Rotten Tomatoes is heavily biased due to genre bias, selection bias, time bias, and recency bias. The reviews lack parity and context, making them untrustworthy. Rotten Tomatoes' audience scoring system was completely broken in 2010, with a flood of reviews drastically changing scores.
Welcome to the 100% Club, where every movie isn't necessarily perfect, but their Tomatometers are. A place where all the critic reviews are Fresh, as far as the eye can see, without a Rotten mark to disrupt all the 1s and their attendant 0s in the percentage scores.
Unlike most critic reviews, audience reviews are entered at any time after the release. Meaning overtime audience reviews will match the continued perception of a film while the critic score just captures what people thought of the film at the time.
