I’ve decided that from here on out, I’m going to rate every movie I see 1-5. Not only is it simpler, but it allows me to curb some of my obsessive-compulsive tendancies (What with the other rating systems being so large, enabling me to split finer and finer hairs, turning what should be a simple affair into a minor chore, thus causing me no small frustration and on and on and on …).

Anyway …

Body of Evidence (1993) – 2/5

Past Midnight (1991) – 3/5

The Love of Zero (1928) – 5/5

Phone Booth (2002) – 3/5

An American Tail (1986)

Bless that Bluth – he’s such a good animator. That’s why I’m going to allow this cat-demonizing, vermin-glorifying … film … a pass – a very, very, verrrry minor pass though it may be.

3/5

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

I think I’m gonna have to watch this again. I tried watching it yesterday while I was exhausted, and so I kept slipping in and out of sleep while it was playing. Until I can watch it again to properly gauge its merits, my temporary rating will be

3.5/5

Sometimes They Come Back (1991)

Stick with the original short story.

3/5

The Ring (2002) – 3/5

Between the ugly colour grading and the bland love interest who does jackshit throughout the story, I’d say stick with the original Japanese film.

Ringu (1998) – 4/5

Kissing Time (1993) – 5/5
