*Special Notes*

Movies are put into the categories above based on what genre they fall under.  Some movies might fit under more than one category but are placed under the one that they share the most traits.  Please note that some movies are listed with mention to their director.  This is done for the purpose of separating it from another film of the same name, or to simply point it out for fans of that director.

Each review is free of as much bias as possible and each is looked at independently based upon on such things as plot, pacing, characters, acting, and settings.  There are some considerations made in certain cases with regards to films that are part of a franchise.  Which is to say that if one movie in a franchise does not seem to be up to the quality of the rest of that franchise then such a thing may be noted at the discretion of the reviewer.  This is done solely for the benefit of long time fans of a franchise and can be disregarded by readers new to that franchise.
