Eastfist.com Movie Review Rating System

I review movies based on only two criteria: entertainment value and enlightenment value.

  • Candy (entertainment value) – Some movies are guilty pleasures and need no justification for enjoyment. However, there are good fun movies and bad fun movies.
  • Lightbulb (enlightenment value) – If you want to be part of the avant-garde, look for the films stamped with a lightbulb. After a viewing, you’ll be smarter (or at least, you can claim to be smart).

Any combination of these two criteria out of five  each (5 + 5 = 10 max.) determines my opinion of how you might perceive the movie.
