The elements that comprise the future that would be considered creepy would pale in comparison to the advances made by Will Caster's ubiquitous awareness. The viewer has to decide if utopia or dystopia is being created and therein lies the rub and calls for multiple viewings. 3.5

The film is a ride, in the best way cinema can be--it allows one to escape themselves and put aside his pedestrian cares. But if that is the film's greatest success, its greatest failure is its lack of directorial point of view as the film concludes. This is a solid 4. In the right mood maybe even a 4.5.

It is difficult to call The Avengers a super-hero movie. It is a super super-hero movie. It is super-sized, super cast, and features amazing super effects. All of which help to earn it a 5.

Even though we've been availed of the horror stories of the Holocaust Polanski's direction brings it alive without apology. It is for this reason the film is ultimately a success and it earns a 3.5.

If the length were more appropriate to the film's accomplishments it would score higher, but its run time (at over 2 hrs) downgrades this to a 2.

We both agree (for the first time in years on a film) and give Some Like It Hot a solid 4. It is worth your time.

That fool's errand I mentioned earlier is actually happening. Odd, but true. Here's our rating guide as it currently exists and a quick list of our reviews.

We've decided (my wife and I) to make the attempt to watch better movies. (I suppose we need to begin calling them films instead.) We'll be blogging our progress through this fool's errand, reviewing some of the gems and offering some helpful hints to avoid those that deserve to be skipped.
