A running tab of movies I’ve seen in theaters or at home, and a quick comment about them. I’ve succumbed to the idea of assigning a personal score for each film. My scale: 4 Stars – One of the best, well recommended 3 Stars – Recommended, but some issues here and there 2 Stars – Problematic, hard to recommend 1 Star …
