***Grading Scale

I score films on 10 points. I do not give half points. My rating system on this site will focus first and foremost on how entertaining the film is. Perhaps the film has a 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes because the writing or the acting was bad. Just because they are critically panned doesn't mean they can't be entertaining.

10=a perfect masterpiece
9=not quite a masterpiece
8=a solid film that exceeds expectations.
7=a solid film that fills time. A 7 is basically a film that is fun but doesn't particularly fail or excel in anything.
6=a film that doesn't quite achieve what it set out to do but is still worth watching for one reason or another.

5=a film that barely satisfies the requirements of a movie on a technical level.
4=a film that bores or is incompetently made
3=a film that bores and is incompetently made.
2=a film that bores, is incompetently made, and makes you upset because it is so poorly made.
1=a film that does all of the above including giving the urge to seriously injure the filmmakers and other involved parties.

Any of the films within the bottom 5 ratings have the ability to make you fall asleep when you are not tired.
