INFORMAL COMMENTARY ON FILM     July 02, 2007

FISTFUL of FLICKS:
OUR UNIQUE RATINGS OF CURRENT MOVIES

1 — An artistic, successful work, with the allegories accomplished for all metaphors, and the viewer left fulfilled, purged, stunned or happy— depending on the
filmmakers' intentions. A "must see," no matter what the obstacles.

2 — Not as impressive as Group 1, yet with a great deal of good work in it; a near hit. Also a "must see," but without the urgency.

3 — Some interesting elements, two or three good moments. See if convenient, and it the price is right.

4 — One interesting element. Talk to someone who saw it.

5 — Nothing, nothing, nothing to recommend.

6 — So inartistic, so negative that it really bugs you. Picket the theater.
