) mean. I use the same scale for my own work, however I am far less objective, but I do it for fun anyway. The true verdicts are up to you.
- Pretty much useless crap. I'm usually dumber for viewing it and it has no real social value. IMO, it's one you might want to pass.
- Still pretty awful, but a single star film or show might have one redeeming quality, something that makes it a total loss. Might be worth checking out if you have a sense of adventure.

- Mediocre effort with one or two good things overall.

- Middle of the road fluff....not awful, not great, but sort of on the fence. Viewing films or shows in this category might not result in permanent damage.


- Not terrible, not classic. Worth a viewing.


- Good stuff. Something like this is really worth your time and effort to check out. You might or might not learn something, but you should see it anyway because it's really good.



- Excellent, not a classic, but wonderful stuff.



- The highest honor a film can achieve on my site. A four star film is the cream of the crop and you should have already purchased the DVD before you complete this sentence.
