Rating System

“The movies are so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash, we shouldn’t go at all.” – Pauline Kael

___________________________________________________________________________

All movies will be rated out of 4 stars.  Full and 1/2 stars will be most commonly used, but 1/4 stars will also be used on occasion to bridge the gap between rankings.

**** – Outstanding

***1/2 – Very good to excellent

*** – Good to very good

**1/2 – Average to good

** – Poor to low average

*1/2 – Awful to very poor

* – Terrible

0 stars – Awfully terrible, and terribly awful.  If there should happen to be a 0 star film, stay away at all costs.
