In an ideal world, films wouldn’t be judged by stars, percentages or numbers on a scale, but by what they stir up, inspire, or accomplish. By the way they make us laugh, make us cry, make us think, keep us on the edge of our seats, or open our imaginations.

That being said, as a filmmaker/film lover I often get others asking for my opinion on films both current and past, and I thought it appropriate that my simple film ratings have a space they could call home. Over the past few years I’ve given a number of films a full analysis and review (which are highlighted in bold), but I just don’t have the time to give each film the proper review it deserves.

★★★★★ — Masterpiece. An Amazing Film.
★★★★☆ — Great. A Really Solid, Entertaining Film.
★★★☆☆ — Mediocre. So-so. A decent movie.
★★☆☆☆ — Not That Good. Kind of a Stinker.
★☆☆☆☆ — Horrendous. An Awful Film.

Films are listed below alphabetically by year of release.
Also, please be aware that the ratings do not necessarily focus on whether or not a film is family-friendly (I suggest you use a site such as commonsensemedia.org to find details on a film’s content), but on the artistic, entertainment, and cinematic merits of the film.
