Score Definitions
TITLE SCORE(1-10) RATING
The A Team

6

PG-13-Profanity & Violence

A is for “action”, not acting, and this movie is full of it
Despicable Me

8

PG-Mild Violence

Starts out slow but the second half is so charming it makes up for any previous flaws
Eclipse - The Twilight Saga

6

PG-13-Mild Profanity & Violence

Overly dramatic but balanced with action/humor; perfect movie for devoted fans
Get Him To The Greek

4

R-Profanity & Nudity

A film full of profanity/drug usage/sex might be bearable if it was funny
Grown Ups

7

PG-13-Profanity & Adult Situations

Sandler takes a loving look at family men & most importantly a funny look

How To Train Your Dragon

9

PG-Mild Monster Violence

So heart warming/visually stimulating/solidly plotted it’s an instant classic
Inception

7

PG-13-Profanity & Violence

Complex/challenging plot is a plus, but also a minus as it exasperates viewers
Jonah Hex

3

PG-13-Profanity & Violence

Who decided to make this movie? It’s a dud!
The Karate Kid

7

PG-Mild Profanity & Violence

Slow in the middle but with an ending so rousing it makes the movie a must-see
Killers

4

PG-13-Profanity & Violence

A comedy about killing that is neither funny nor dramatic
Knight And Day

3

PG-13-Profanity & Violence

With Cruise and Diaz you expect so much, but this time out get so little
The Last Airbender

3

PG-Mild Violence

A meandering plot and inept acting make this movie difficult to endure
Marmaduke

4

PG-Mildly Crude Humor

Kids will love it but it is a better Disney Channel movie than big screen one

Predators

3

R-Violence & Profanity

Starts off strong but fizzles out with gaps in the plot and a lousy ending
Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time

6

PG-13-Action Violence

No sex, no profanity, just full out action adventure for two hours
Ramona And Beezus

6

G

Good cast brings the characters to life but the cuteness is too cute at times
Salt

6

PG-13-Violence & Profanity

Angelina has all the right action moves but the holes in the plot detract
Splice

7

R-Profanity, Violence, Sexual Situations & Nudity

A surprisingly good sci-fi thriller about lab experimentation carried too far

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

6

PG-13-Mild Profanity & Violence

The plot is weak but Cage, and especially Baruchel, make it appealing
Standing Ovation

3

PG-Mild Profanity

Amateur night at the local cinema as want to be actors/singers/dancers perform
Toy Story 3

9

G

Best of the three; this one touches the funny bone, the mind and the heart
