movie reviews, sarah-style
This post contains a complete list of all of the movie reviews I've posted to date. The list is sorted two ways for ease of use. The first section is sorted by rating (from best to worst), and the second section is sorted alphabetically by title.
For each film, I write a few sentences (as little as possible, really), then give it a star rating of 1-5. There is no zero because I don't think I'll ever watch another film that I hate as much as Very Bad Things (my most hated movie, which I believe deserves whatever the lowest rating on the planet is).
The ratings are very subjective. Something like There Will Be Blood can get a five, while Sex & the City can also get a five. That doesn't mean that I think they're anywhere near the same caliber in terms of quality (AT ALL), it just means that they each do what they intend very, very well. (In my opinion, TWBB is just straight BRILLIANT, while SatC is exactly what I'd expect from a movie that follows the show -- entertaining in its own way.) I decided to do the ratings this way so I wouldn't be stuck giving a whole bunch of movies twos & threes just because they couldn't manage to be as good as the best films I've ever seen in my entire life. There are plenty of things worth watching, it just depends on what kind of mood you're in...
