Hopefully, no review is necessary. However, for those of you who have not figured out our star rating system yet, it is basically the same as Netflix's rating system. Allow me to explain.
1 Star - Hated It: These are movies we absolutely despise. We don't have to watch them to know they suck. You wouldn't even wish their viewing on your worst enemies. Examples include Glitter, Spice World or Son of the Mask.
2 Stars - Didn't Like It: These movies are not very good. After watching one, you feel you wasted two hours that could have been better spent at the dentist or at a wedding.
3 Stars - Liked It: You know what your going to get with these movies and they are pretty run-of-the-mill. Most movies fall into this category. Usually, you can watch a three star movie without worrying about wasting your time.
4 Stars - Really Liked It: These movies keep you very entertained throughout. Many just have a few small problems that keep them from being a five. Your friends won't laugh at you anymore if you recommend four star movies.
5 Stars - Loved It: Five stars is reserved for the cream of the crop. Usually, you can enjoy these movies multiple times. They are technically and artistically superior to other movies. Examples of five star movies include: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Godfather II or Star Wars: A New Hope.
So, there you have it, our ratings system at a glance.

what about no stars? I mean, it might be hard, but I bet there is one movie you've hated too much to even give one begrudging star to.
Rest assured that I will eventually be giving out a ranking like that...I see enough CRAP at the theatre and rentals with a certain someone that inevitably, something will receive a 0 of 5.

"Certain Someone" is a woman, who has all but begged not to be mentioned on this site....ever...just wanted to clarify that Movie Guy #1 and I are not romantically involved.
Resist the urge to do a zero star! If you can't get the job done with five stars, the job can't get done! No zero stars, and ESPECIALLY no half stars. If you go that route, your reviews will be doomed to confusion and obscurity! And to whichever the hell reviewer this concerns, I'm totally down for the BBQ.
Hey Guys- You made a comment on the home page about "How to act when you go to a movie in public." I think that should be a headline!! I just saw Superman Returns at a late show- granted it is a huge summer movie and it's the first day it's out but-please don't sit in the seat that is right next to me!! front or back as well -Personal space!! I hate to say it but unless it's a cartoon or G rated DON'T BRING KIDS! And when watching the show please shut up! There I feel better Superman was about a 3 or 4...but could have been better
I think you should use Bob's 2 star system-short and sweet.
You guys are getting famous-way to go.
