***1/2

I love movies and I watch a LOT of them! Every movie I watch and every season of a TV series I watch will receive between zero and four stars. When I watch with my other half, you will see a (P) after my star grade and an (M) after his. I'm also (very slowly) adding in my "Best of the Year" lists from 1990 on (for both movies and music), as well as eventually adding the results for my yearly movie awards (1998 on).
