Murder by Numbers: 'The Verdict' Explained

The Verdict:

0 - The worst film in the world. Ever. Unlikely to be given to anything, but we'll see.

1 - Godawful, absolute tripe, suckiness of the highest order. 

2 - Slightly less awful, but not much. Able to get to the end of the film without passing out through boredom/disgust.

3 - Some okay/good moments perhaps, but still worthy of opinionated criticism.

4 - Not so bad. Probably contains medium to large segments that are passable and possibly even enjoyable. Painfully average on the whole. 

5 - Just... Average (although not painfully so). Moments of enjoyment or excitement, but nothing that lifts it above, well, average. 

6 - Slightly above average, i.e. enjoyable and worth watching once, but nothing special.

7 -  This is for films that I would deem 'good' and would recommend to others wholeheartedly. Satisfying flicks that I would purchase for my own collection. Worth owning.

8 - Very good. Something I would describe as a 'must-see' to others. 

9 - Fantastic, amazing. Films that would make my top 100 list.

10 - The rarest of the rare. This accolade is bestowed upon those films which move me in a way I cannot describe. The pinnacle of film-making.

First Blood: An Introduction

I can't decide if I'm supposed to introduce myself here or just jump right in. I think I'll go with the latter for the time being and if the need arises at some point, I'll take it from there. 

As this is likely a post that will only be read in retrospect, I'll keep it brief:

First and foremost, I love movies. I also have a lot to say on the subject. That's why I've decided to start this blog and see where it leads. If it's just to some people I know reading some stuff I have to say, then so be it.  If more people see it and feel the urge for discussion, so much the better. 

That's all he wrote, for now.
