Reel Reviews

Thinking about watching a movie tonight? Make sure you scan the Reel Reviews list for recommendations of what's worth your time and money...and what belongs in the garbage can. The Reel Reviews Quick Rating Guide sums it all up in a neat little sign, easily understood by even the most challenged reader:

(+) -- Good or better. A positive viewing experience. Worth the price of admission/rental.

(~) -- So-so. It has its moments. See it for free if possible, via library or broadcast.

(–) -- Bad or worse. A negative viewing experience. A waste of time, unless you're in a very indulgent mood.

Movies are listed in alphabetical order by title. Dates posted to Reel Reviews are included at the end of each review. All undated reviews refer to movies I watched pre-c&cp. (I had to cull through my "watched movies" database for all of the titles; and yes, I really do keep a database of the movies I've seen!) All of these movies are available on video (or, in the case of new releases, they will be if you wait long enough).
