Even though I haven't been the greatest and most regular uppdater, I promise I will review some classics, and horror movies of course (because it is Halloween, isn't??) in a few days. I really admire the patience you guys have for still visiting my very mediocre RT-site. I appreciate it a lot.

I'm in a good mood today! 

Have had a rocking saturday, and have just finished an essey I've been worrying about. And whatsmore, my new darling has arrived and I'm with him at this writing moment. His name is Mac ;)

After the old computer just kept getting viruses every 5 minutes and I wasn't even able to log in to my favorite site; Rotten Tomatoes, which made me depressed lately. But Mac won't let me down, I know it! 

So here I am, alive n kicking, and ready to give you updates with this darling. Be sure! 

 

P.S. I've finally gotten TCM too! 

I've been planing to make a blog entry like this for a very long time, but better late than never...

Everybody seems to make these kinds of entries, where they explain the criteria of how they rate movies. I've used the same criteria through all my years at RT. Or that is, almost...

First of all I'd like to explain that when I first became a member at RT and was just a little teenager, I never thought that anyone would look at my ratings. RT was just something I used to kill some time with, during my longest school breaks. So sometimes my ratings just depended on which mood I was in. I had watched most of the "critics canon" by the age of 16. Some of those movies, I still today haven't had the time to re-watch, and therefor you can discover many low ratings of movies that I today wouldn't rate that low. I sometimes correct those "weird" ratings, whenever I discover them, but sometimes I feel that I have to watch this and that movie a second time before changing the rating. So you don't have to be provoced if you see some classic or critically acclaimed movie that I have given a very low rating, especially if the rating is many years old.

Today when I rate movies, when I give a movie 60% it means that the movie was just fair, but still watchable. If under 60%, I didn't enjoy the movie at all. 0% I give only the worst, the bottom of the barrel. So the spectrum 0-50% is really grades of how much I disliked the movie. If I give a movie 70% I thought the movie was above average, and liked some parts of it. My intuition says that the movie was good, when I give it 70%. 80% is given when I consider a movie great, and re-watchable. 90% means that the movie is one of my absolute favorites. 100% are just given to the greatest of the great. The cream of the crop. But usually I'm very restrictive with the 100%-ers, and it usually have to pass some time before I'm sure it's worth the highest rating. The impression has to last.

Just one other thing I should add, is that I think that to be a good critic (not as if I say I am one, haha) you should be 50% objective and 50% subjective when you give ratings. I try my best to do that. And whatsmore, I rate tv-series, music-DVDs and documentaries differently from movies. But that will require another entry.

Have just forced myself to take a little break from my new addiction, spelled; L.A. Noire. Now I want to introduced one of the most underrated and forgotten actors of the olden golden era of Hollywood. Laird Cregar! Simply put, he was a brilliant actor starring in just a few movies since he died in 1944, only 31 years old. He had a very wide range as an actor, that is he could play many different character just as brilliant. But I must say that his speciality was playing weird madmen killers.

What to watch? -Well, Hangover Square, for goodness sake! Go immediately and watch it now! And also The Lodger (1944 version), if you can stop yourself from comparing it to Hitchcock's version.
