Cf. "read." Not in OED, but it must have been around for a while:


2008 (Apr. 19) IMDb _Redacted_ [
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0937237/usercomments?filter=hate]
This is "The Blair Witch Project" meets "Full Metal Jacket" meets "Loose
Change". It really watches like some teenager decided to make a war movie
after spending a weekend watching Vietnam flicks.
