Movie Rating System

I find that when people review movies they often give them a number or letter that often gets hung up on without hearing out what the person has to say. To keep my reviews more simple and to allow you to make a more informed decision about when you will see a movie (because I feel almost every movie deserves the chance to be seen) I will rate the movies as follows:

Opening Night

These movies are the best of the best. You need to preorder your tickets and have them printed and ready for the Thursday showing. Price is no object and no line is too long because the quality of the movie is that good.

Wait a Week

These movies are very well done and deserve the full price of admission but don't necessarily call for you to go completely out of your way to see them.

Dollar Theater

These movies still need to be experienced at the big screen... but maybe at a discounted price, whether that be an early bird special or at a local dollar theater.

Red Box

These movies ultimately don't deserve the money shelled out for the big screen treatment but may still be worth a dollar for you and a group of friends to spend.

Cable

These movies unfortunately just aren't that good and should only be reserved to see if it's a Sunday and the only other thing on TV is the golf channel.

Wait 10 Minutes

These movies are the worst of the worst. But I'm never going to tell someone not to watch a movie. So this bottom grade tells you that I would only give it about 5-10 minutes before I would turn it off and you should give it 5-10 minutes to see if you should turn it off as well.

Obviously when I review older movies you won't be able to see them in theater but this allows you to make a more informed decision on how soon you need to watch it without worrying if it passes or fails on a scale.
