EXPLANATION OF RATINGS
Personal News
Note that I rate ona curve.  Most movies will recieve 2 1/2 or 3 stars.  A movie has to be exceptionally good or bad to have a differant rating then these.  Also note that I am not a professional reviewer.  I'm just a normal guy who sees movies occasionally.  Thus, I only attend movies that I know beforehand are probably pretty good.  You will also notice that I prefer certain genres over others.  Here are what my star ratings mean:

****
One of the best films the industry has to offer.

*** 1/2
A great movie.  Well worth seeing.

***
A good movie.  Worth the price of admission.

** 1/2
An average movie.  No disappointments, but you might want to wait for the video

**
Less-than-average.  Disappointing.

* 1/2
A bad movie.  Not worth seeing.

*
A bomb

1/2
A waste of time and space.  No positives at all.
