Welcome and Rating System Overview

First, I would like to thank you for reading or at least "just visiting" as you find your way around the internet.

A critical note before reading is that, as I have mentioned in a previous post, I hate the "four star" rating system it seems really in effective in actually characterizing the quality of a film therefore, I will use metaphors as ratings. Often these will relate to incendiary devices because they seem to explain movies very well. I am not sure why but it works so....yeah. At least it does give new meaning to the phrase "crashing and burning".

Anyway, leave comments (please keep them appropriate) and I hope some movie buffs out there decide to join in from time to time.

Fast Food Nation


Fast Food Nation (2006) - This was actually a good movie on its own, sort of like Traffic meets Supersize Me has a kid which is in turn adopted by Babel. Really cool premise about the whole "poo to food" ratio debate.

The Bruce: In this movie played a rather sly B2B manager for the overall fast food chain and his interaction with Greg Kinnear was extremely brief. It played a crucial role in basically pushing Kinnears' movie length internal dilemma over the edge. I guess this is where I include my recommendation.

Rating: Anyway, on the aforementioned scale I give Fast Food Nation a borderline temp (98.6 F). Its not quite good enough to run out right now to get it but it is definitely worth the hour and a half.
