Movies are stories and most stories have three parts: a beginning, middle, and end. This is the basis of my rating system: I rate the beginning, middle, and end of each movie. In this way, as the reviewer I need not balance competing or conflicting qualities of a movie to create a single mark. The three-letter rating can give the reader more information than any single thumbs-up/thumbs-down or five-star seal of approval possibly could. One can see at an instant the trajectory of the films progress. In any case, a review by its very nature is subjective As a result, my ratings are merely a reflection of my personal reaction to a motion picture. Caveat emptor.
