Spoiler Alert: There are spoilers in a lot of these reviews. If you haven't seen the movie, skip to the end of the article where I have a brief rating and a warning about some objectionable content to watch out for. I'll try my best not to ruin the whole thing, but I can't promise anything.

Rating Criteria

I'm going to use a 5 star system using this rubric. I want to try to move beyond the like or dislike stage of watching a movie, but here is where I really let go and like or dislike a movie.

5 stars: This movie transcends to the realm of Favorite Movies. Some magic about it makes me willing to watch it over and over again. This should not be taken to mean that it is objectively better than a 4 star; it might in fact be objectively worse.

4 stars: This movie was really good. It had to be better than average and had to have impacted me in some way. I'd probably be willing to watching this movie again at least once. Or maybe more than once.

3 stars: This movie was pretty good. It's basically an average movie. I enjoyed it, but not immensely so.

2 stars: This movie was ok. I didn't get excited about it, but I don't think it was a waste of my time to have seen it.

1 star: This movie was terrible. Probably even more rare than a 5 star rating (since you can usually tell these movies from the cover and avoid them. I'm looking at you, end of the sci-fi section on Netflix.)
