I went to a list and saw ratings for films that are no where near being complete. Here is the list: http://www.imdb.com/list/BkpY1guMWCM/

Here is a screenshot for those who can't see it: http://i39.tinypic.com/2rqc752.jpg

Specifically look at #7 and #8 which, if you go to their IMDb pages, show no ratings and the standard "Not yet released (voting begins after release)" What's going on?
