Suggestions Noted, Movies Graded.

Grading is highly subjective, dizzying, lip-biting stressful.Just a reminder that I listen to you. You may have noticed a bit more tv coverage as per your requests. Plus, I'd heard a few complaints that the new version of the site (no longer a newborn, now a crawling gurgling six month-old) didn't have a sidebar with current grades of recent movies. I've added that in now, just in case you miss a review or need that damn letter.
I hate grading! I feel for you professors out there. I often find one piece of a movie a total A and the rest lacking. Take that multi-graded X-Men Report Card that's usually the way it goes. Or, perfect and subject appropriate example: Easy A in which Emma Stone is performing in an all time high school movie comedy classic and the rest of the movie... uh... isn't. Perhaps all movies should get multi-layered report cards? Nah, too much work.
You can also check the review section in the top navigation bar whenever you need want a quick rundown of what I'm seeing or how I've been grading it.

Agreed about grades. Never liked 'em.
Also, I'm late saying this, I really do like the new site.
I'd say Tucci and Clarkson are performing in that classic as well.
what about "the other woman"?
Tucci and Clarkson were awesome in Easy A! Lisa Kudrow was the weak link for me.
Remy -- working on that one today!
I'm a sucker for the grade system and due to your bad influence, I also often give cross-boundary grades to films, as they're are so many subtleties within most films. I would agree grades are fairly meaningless but they're fun and it helps with lists and order, and helps me to evaluate a film's impact (good/bad or lack of) on my daily existence.
