90-99 (10/10) / 'And Beyond' - need to have seen the film at least twice
89 - 'And Beyond'-potential
n0 - a non-5* ('And Beyond'/'Outstanding') 'favourite' (4*) or 'guilty pleasure fav' (3* & 2*)

n1, n4, n6 (not 9n) - retrorating from (some of) my IMDb-ratings
(those I think aren't more than +/-1 in rating-accuracy); last seen before Aug-'08
I may have been a bit sloppier with my ratings back then:
n1-overrated?, n4-about'ish?, n6-at least?

90 T10 Serenity (2005) - Apr 23, 2013
"Another binge-watched rerun of 'Firefly' followed by this film, and for each time I rewatch those I love this 'Verse and characters a little bit more. So it's quite impossible for me to rate this film as another film; after the wonderful - but painfully short (but not shortlived!) - series this film isn't just thrilling heroics, it's the sky we'll always have. *Preview*: #13#, re-5*, 'Firefly'-series, loved!, rewatch(5) }**{ #06#, story."
53 T7 Shoot 'Em Up (2007) - Apr 09, 2013
"Over-the-top tongue-in-cheek actionfun; could have been more polished though, script-wise, action-wise and boobs-wise. *Preview*: #13#, re-3*, popcorn, oldies(2) }*{ #08#, hype, story, reviews, cast."
15 T1 Chinese Box (1998) - Apr 09, 2013
"I see what writer and director did, but I didn't care much for it - so what's left is a contrived story with too much J.Irons-crap and way too little Gong Li-class. *Preview*: #13#, exp-3*, story, Gong Li!/10."
83 T10 Rear Window (1954) - Apr 08, 2013
"A simple, captivating and suspenseful story superbly told; add in a great cast and this is a film that lacks cheap surprises but oozes class. *Preview*: #13#, re-5*, reviews!, oldies(2) }*{ #80s(l)#, story."
77 T10 Say Anything... (1989) - Apr 07, 2013
""Maybe you were just a mirage. Maybe the world is full of food and sex and spectacle and we're all just hurling towards an apocalypse, in which case it's not your fault." *Preview*: #13#, re-4*, liked, rewatch(4) }**{ #90s(e)#, story."
32 T3 Gilda (1946) - Apr 07, 2013
"Interesting for a while, but the corny dialogue and melodrama take this to an overlong and contrived mess; Rita Hayworth is quite allrigh though, so it wasn't her fault. *Preview*: #13#, exp-4*, story, reviews."
15 T1 BloodRayne (2006) - Apr 07, 2013
"Missing in action: Kristanna Loken's right boob; for the rest of this - I've seen worse. *Preview*: #13#, exp-1*, popcorn, story, (cast)."
77 T10 The Breakfast Club (1985) - Apr 07, 2013
"A film that continues to rating-climb, not because it's growing on me, more because I'm getting older and the insight writer/director John Hughes delivers with this one seems truer and wiser. Great writing and a cast that sell their characteres, that's a solid backbone to support its wandering into funny, emotional, smart, sincere and whatnot. *Preview*: #13#, re-4*, liked, rewatch(3) }**{ #80s#, story."
73 T10 Laura (1944) - Apr 07, 2013
"A whodunnit that dragged me in, not so much from the story itself but more for its characters; decent plot, superb dialouge, good and great performances, an elevating score - and Gene Tierney...just wow, that's some screen presence to enjoy. *Preview*: #13#, exp-4*, story, reviews!"
7 T1 Somebody Up There Likes Me (2012) - Apr 05, 2013
"Fuck You. *Preview*: #13#, exp-3*, story, Jess.W/7-3, (N.Offerman/4-2, K.Corrigan/4-2)."
