About Me
- Diana Mivelli
- Movies take me away. This blog delves into reviews--movies, music, Seattle sites--peppered with other adventures.
Ratings scale
5 Yeah, baby. Edge of your seat, no bathroom breaks (in spite of nagging bladder). You delight in the idea of re-watching and can't stop recommending it.
4 Two thumbs up. Great movie. Not a 5 because of some silly detail that bugs.
3 On to something. Didn't knock you over but it's a solid C/C+ effort.
2 Not good. Perhaps there was a morsel to relate to, grab or enjoy, yet not enough to save the rock-bottom lackluster movie.
1 Bleh.
0 What a waste! Maybe you didn't finish because it was crapola. You want your money back. If possible, you'd pull a Cher and turn back time.
