ratings update

I've gone back and updated the blog entries to reflect the new ratings. A few movies escaped the two-digit brand, but I stamped them and corralled them here for your convenience:

Suspiria (1977, Dario Argento) 88
The Brood (1979, David Cronenberg) 85
The Birds (1963, Alfred Hitchcock) 60
The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1970, Dario Argento) 57
The Last Samurai (2003, Edward Zwick) 53
Shrek (2001, Andrew Adamson & Vicky Jenson) 20
Moulin Rouge (2001, Baz Luhrmann) 6

Something I should've said earlier: the rating system is, obviously, still in its infancy -- numbers I make up now are becoming benchmarks for later ratings, so there's still a need for some fine-tuning over the long haul. I've rated all the 2003 movies, more-or-less giving each a gut-instinct number, and needless to say, it's made a mess of my Top Ten list. I'll probably go with this new Top Ten, but I want to get some more ratings under my belt before I finalize it.

Where we saw it: film | We deign to rate it: outta 100
