Rating system Change. and some Frisbee. My Sister's Keeper (6), and Inside Man (9)

So, I think I've figured out a way to condense my rating system. I think I'm going to do Enjoyment out of 5 and critical review out of 5 and then add them together. One number per movie makes it easier to deal with, and pay attention to. I'll be going back and changing the others accordingly.

My Sister's Keeper - 6/10
Critic: 3/5. Enjoyment: 3/5
One of the reasons that this might be so high compared to the National average on Rotten Tomatoes (44%) is probably because I haven't read the book. I saw it with a bunch of friends and colleagues from Dance Marathon, most of whom have read the book, and say it is very different. As dramatic as it got at some points, I didn't think it was overdone or unnecessary. It had its humorous moments, but overall it did what it was supposed to: Let you look into the lives of a family dealing with childhood cancer.

Inside Man - 9/10

Critic: 4/5. Enjoyment: 5/5
This is one of the more interesting movies I think I've ever seen. The plot has you confused and enthralled the entire time, The cast has more talent than most ensembles out there, and the end is just twisty enough to spin you around without making you dizzy. I watched it a second time tonight with my Dad, and HE thought it was a great movie. That doesn't happen often...

I'll send some more reviews out when I see some more movies...
