Preface and Rating System

Hello fellow readers and movie lovers,

For quite some time I was thinking of starting this blog where I can express my feelings about the movies I happen to watch.

Be it Hollywood or Mumbai Film Industry, I wish to pen down all my feelings and acquaintances with the latest releases.

Hindi/Mumbai Movies:

When it comes to Hindi movies, I usually watch all the movies as movie going is a fun activity for me, I don’t watch a movie because I want to watch “that” movie, I watch because I want to watch a “movie”. Therefore, I make the default setting of any movie to be a 2 star, a humdrum, nothing spectacular.

So this is how I rate them (they are not related to any other rating system)

5 Star : "Legendary" Once in a lifetime movie.
4 Star : The super hit of the year.I loved it!
3 Star : Very good movie, watch it.
2 Star : Average movie you can watch them once. Tolerable!(Default Settings)
1 star : Don’t watch unless you have absolutely nothing else to do!
0 Star : I hate this movie, do not watch it. CRAP in one word.


Hollywood movies:

When it comes to a Hollywood flick, I keep my bar raised as compared to their Bollywood counterparts. I would not like to see a Priyadarshan in Hollywood, though there are many crapy ones there as well.I wish to refrain myself from any debate on Hollywood v/s Bollywood.Its purely how I feel and I have reasons for it.
Firstly, I am totally biased for Hindi movies as they are in my native language and secondly I don’t expect our Karan Johars and Rakesh Roshans to make Matrix, Starwars and Titanics.

So for Hollywood they would get only 3 ratings( Default being 3 star)

5 Star: A Matrix/Tom Hanks/Beautiful Mind/Batman/Star wars/LOTR ("Legendary")
4 Star: Awesome, totally loved it must watch
3 Star: (Default) Good direction, good concept, nice movie, somehow average, surely watchable.

Special Case:
0 Star: Don’t watch it, complete disaster!

So, let me begin writing my critique. See if you can concur :)

DISCLAIMER: The ratings and reviews are my personal opinion, I can get as biased/critical/mad as I feel :P its my right of expression and anyone who would differ can write his/her own blog.
