 Film Reviews 

 

I like lists.  I can't say exactly why, but I'm sure I would have made an excellent Santa Claus.  I can't count the number of discussions I've been in where the topic was the top 5 or top 10 of some type of film (top 10 Cyber-punk, top 10 Demonic Films, top 10 War movies).  I'm not sure how I keep getting into these discussions, but I enjoy them.  And so do all those people who argue with me. 

So, my reviews are grouped by type of film—lists, helping you to choose the best within a category.  If you decide to watch a vampire film, I'll have my reviews of vampire films all together for you.  When I have enough reviews within a sub-genre, I'll split those off into their own list (example: if you click on Horror, you'll find ten sub-lists). 

I'm not using a pure quality scale, or even my personal preference, but rather one that says how much effort you should put into viewing each film.  It's a 4 star scale, with an extra 0 rating for films that are toxic—that are so bad that they harm the art form and decrease my enjoyment of other films. 

=

See it on the big screen.  Buy it.  Own it.  Hold it close.

=

Rent it.  Go to the matinee.  Buy it if you are obsessive. 

=

If really in the mood for a movie, this will do.  Catch it on free TV.

=

Don't bother.  Read a book.  Go out with friends.

=

Hunt down the filmmakers.  They must be stopped!
