I have thought about expanding my blogging portfolio for a while and have decided to go into the realm of the silver screen. I’ve always enjoyed movies and have a personal collection of about 400 DVD’s and have a Netflix account and watch movies with regularity.
I don’t consider myself an expert on the film industry or a critic in whom you should put all of your faith and trust when it comes to evaluating a movie. I’m a pretty typical guy in terms of my movie tastes and I just figured that if I threw my opinion out there, it might help somebody somewhere decide whether or not they want to see a particular flick.
I devised a rating system because I’ve always thought that the old tried and true turkey through five star rating system lacked the detail that I wanted. Therefore, I came up with twelve parameters and will give the movies a value for each from 0 to 10. At the end, I add them all up, divide by the total possible (120), and then multiply by 100, giving us a final rating between 0 and 100 (0 bad and 100 good).
Five of the parameters are how appropriate this movie is for the following particular audiences; children, young women, young men, adult women, and adult men. When I say appropriate, I’m not necessarily thinking of content, I’m thinking of how well that particular demographic will enjoy the movie. The other parameters I’m going to use to judge movies are Gore, Romance, Dialogue, Special Effects, Story, Acting, and Intangibles.
For example, if I were to give a movie a ranking of 10 for Gore, I’m not saying that the movie has a ton of gore or no gore at all; I’m saying that the amount of gore added content to the movie.
For the time being, I’m going to try to review movies as I watch them in the theaters but eventually I am going to go through my collection of DVD’s and find out what the best movie that I’ve ever seen actually is…
In the meantime, reach for the popcorn and enjoy the movies!
