Rating System: I try to rate films based on a combination of the
overall quality of the material within its genre, and its overall entertainment value.
But really, it just boils down to how much I enjoyed any given film, based on my
personal tastes and biases.
| **** | Excellent - A fantastic and highly recommended piece of film. |
| *** | Good - An above average, entertaining, and generally well made movie, marred only by occasional technical and/or artistic flaws. |
| ** | Mediocre - An average or unremarkable film that's watchable with just enough perks to keep me interested. |
| * | Poor - A waste of time with no redeeming value. |
| I'm a big fan of Japanese anime and Hong Kong cinema, so I've divided my reviews into the following high level categories: |
| Animated Films | Asian Films | American and European Films |
| I'm definitely an action movie buff, and these sub-categories highlight my favorite film genres: |
| Martial Arts | Female Action Cinema |
