http://www.orble.com/the-blog-formerly-known-as-saturday-morning-movie-club/ My Rating System - I won't be using thumbs or stars or any of the other already taken [and may I say unoriginal] symbols. Instead my affinity for a film [or lack thereof] will be illustrated by clocks. Strange perhaps, but also practical. When you see as many movies as I do you end up seeing a significant amount of crap. The crappier the movie the more times I find myself checking the time. So here's the deal...there will be a scale from zero to 5. For those who have yet figured it out a rating of 5 clocks will be awarded to such horrific Hollywood debacles as Steven Spielberg's A.I. and zero stars will be reserved only for those movies that rise to the level of this summer's Little Miss Sunshine. en Wed, 15 Nov 2006 00:55:00 GMT Wed, 15 Nov 2006 00:55:00 GMT info@orble.com info@orble.com http://www.orble.com/blog-relocated/ I have recently been honoed with an orble domain name so from now on you can check out all my movie reviews on saturdaymorningmovieclub.com http://www.orble.com/blog-relocated/#comments http://www.orble.com/blog-relocated/ Wed, 15 Nov 2006 00:55:00 GMT http://www.orble.com/stranger-than-fiction-1-clock/ Which came first, the author or the character???
