Film Freak - 564 Films Ranked
Member Since: Apr 5, 2009
Location: Deadmonton, Canada
Bio: I like movies. I also like things that aren't movies. Like Cupcakes. and slumber parties.

*Note on Rankings: they are ranked on a scale of 1-100 at intervals of every 2.5 points. However since only whole number are allowed to be entered as scores they are rounded, thus a score of 83 really equals 82.5.

In general, though there are numerous exceptions, I rank films according to the following:
100: Favourite Films of All Time - These are the films that, along with The Wire, I consider flawless and use to judge everything else I ever watch.
90-98: Exceptional Films - Films which for whatever reason have either blown me away or powerfully manipulated my emotions at some point or another
80-88: Memorable - Films whose positive qualities have reamined clear in my memories
50-78: Meh - Watchable but Forgettable, A large majority of my rankings fall within this range.
0-48: Insufferable - Any film that scores below 50 is a film so horrible that I had difficulty sitting through it's entirety.

For increased precision and accuracy, I'm only ranking films I've seen since around early 2007.
Featured Reviews
88 Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) - Aug 25, 2010
Mini-Review: Man, I absolutely Lesbians this movie. Absurdly hilarious with great cinematic moments and comic-book interpretation throughout. Oh, and Bad-ass too.
30 Jumper (2008) - Apr 05, 2009
Mini-Review: Before I jump on the band wagon (no pun intended) of hate-filled reviews, I would like preface it by saying that this film did actually have a lot of potential. Okay, catch that? Good. Now onto the review: IT SUCKED.
63 Winter's Bone (2010) - Dec 17, 2010
Mini-Review: I had difficuly understanding why this film got so much praise. The story was slow, disjointed and boring. The acting was only average. It was difficult to connect with the characters. Even the film's biggest praise, it's realistic portrayal and exploration of lower-class rural America felt extremely limited in it's breadth and depth of examination. Easily the most dissappointing film I've seen this year.
85 Inception (2010) - Jul 17, 2010
Mini-Review: Good, not great. Compared to the many other similarly themed films (mulholland Dr., Vanilla Skies, Waking Life) it lacks intellectually.
98 Airplane! (1980) - Apr 05, 2009
Mini-Review: I like my comedies the same I like my coffee.... absurd.
78 Little Giants (1994) - Apr 05, 2009
Mini-Review: I don't like football, but I did particularly enjoy this as a kid, and today this stands as one of myfavoruite and most liked Moranis performances
60 Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989) - Apr 05, 2009
Mini-Review: FUN FACT: My dad was hired as the science consultant for the TV series.
83 Tron: Legacy (2010) - Dec 23, 2010
Mini-Review: Pretty much an incredibly good-looking nerdtacular film with very little to no substance. But that's okay, because it never set out to try and be anything more than that. So what if the story is a lame biblical analogy? I was too busy having my mind blown by the Daft Punk Soundtrack and Special Effects. And So what if it lacked emotionally? I was far more concerned with exploring an incredibly fantastical world. Sometimes good escapism really is more important in films.
98 Toy Story 3 (2010) - Jul 14, 2010
Mini-Review: It takes alot to make me cry, but no single scene has had made my cry quite like the ending to this film. Having grown-up as a kid with these films, and currently placed in Andy's position, I feel just as connected to these toys as he does, and seeing their adventures end in the most fiiting manner possible reduced me to a fountian. I would give this film a score of 1000 if I could.
88 Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010) - Feb 25, 2011
Mini-Review: Batman: Under the Red Hood Drinking Game: Out Loud using your best impression, shot "Motherfucker!!!" after every single one of Black Mask's lines, then take a drink. Every time you see an internal consistency error... take a drink. Every time a bumbling henchmen proves how useless he is... take a trink. Everytime you hear the Joker and wish they had hired Mark Hammill instead... take a drink. Every time Butler Alfred spills his Tea... take Ten drinks.
