Here are GortFLIX we provide you with ratings and reviews from 8 different people. Everyone has different movie tastes so it makes sense to present reviews and ratings from a range of personalities. All ratings are based on a scale of 1/2 to 5.

The players:

The BAT

For a movie to get 5 BATS, it has to fit in one of two categories: I have to straight up love it and/or it is extremely unique and is of the highest possible quality. Sometimes a movie will fall into one of those categories, but not all of them. I'm not afraid to dish out 5 BATS. An example of movies I straight up loved (but aren't of the highest quality) and give 5 BATS are The Matrix: Reloaded and Attack of the Clones. When it comes to Star Wars and The Matrix, I'm a fanboy, so my ratings get skewed. Two examples of a movies that are extremely enjoyable and unique are Memento and Chicago. My ratings also tend to favor science fiction and/or fantasy films. A drama has to be spectacular to receive a high number of BATS. In general, I consider any movie under 2 BATS and to be completely unbearable.

The TIGER

I consider myself to be the toughest of tough graders, as the only thing that gets held to higher standards then my movies, is my women. The essence of my rating system is based on the number of flaws I perceive the movie to have, and the magnitude of the flaws, which take away from my enjoyment. Only a select few movies am I willing to give 5 TWs to, and it is for movies for which I find no flaw (ex. first 2 Godfathers). 4-4.5 TWs are movies that rank amongst the most enjoyable movies I've seen, but have 1-2 flaws, whether it be 1 annoying actor/performance (ex. Elijah Wood in Two Towers) or a plot hole that deny it from perfection. 3-3.5 TWs means nothing really stood out as memorable but nothing was terribly bad either or a brilliant performance, special effects etc. raised a crappy movie to the enjoyable level. 2-2.5 TWs means the movie was well below average, significantly failed to meet expectations, or was just flat out boring. Under 2 TWs means the movie had little to no good qualities, flaws were overwhelming, and I felt like I lost 2+ hours of my life after watching it.

The PEPSI

5: A great movie all around. Enjoyment level that is unparalleled by other movies. Personal 5 Pepsi movies are Braveheart and Shawshank Redemption. Given the opportunity, I would definitely see these in theatres.
4-4.5: Still a real good movie, but has minor flaws here or there. It really doesn't decrease the enjoyability but something that just doesn't sit right afterwards. Definitely still theatre quality. Memento and Last Crusade fit here.
3-3.5: Usually movies that I could wait for rental, but would not mind seeing in the theatres. Sweet action or absolute hilarity would boost lesser movies into this range. I.E. American Pie.
2-2.5: A movie you walk out of and say "eh". A comedy that has a few memorable quotes, but has no lasting appeal or action movies where the dialogue and writing are too horrendous to overcome. Definite rentals, but wouldn't be a top choice. Examples include Gone in 60 Seconds.
1-1.5: Absolutely dreadful. Would rather watch Martha Stewart Living over these movies. I would only watch it if someone forced me to or if I thought I could benefit in some way (read: score with a girl). Saving Silverman is a prime example.
0-.5: Nothing salvageable from this experience. Probably fall asleep watching it or turn it off 5 minutes in. Personally haven't seen anything of this caliber yet....yet.

The BUTTON

From acting to storyline, from visual effects to action sequences, from characters to settings, a lot is taken into account when rating a movie. But a couple of the most critical elements a movie needs in order to get a top-notch rating are the ability to engulf you into the movie and to leave you wanting more. What I mean by engulf you in the movie, is that you lose track of time or anything else around you and you just want the movie to continue because you feel like you are part of it. The wanting more part relates to watching it again. A movie that captures both these parameters would receive a 4-5 button rating. A good example of this is The Ring. When I watched this movie, I felt as if I was a character in the movie and needed to figure out what was going on just as bad as the real characters. After it was all done, I wanted to watch it again with other people to see their reactions too. A 3-4 button movie might have one of these criteria, such as Attack of the Clones or Lord of the Rings. I never really felt like my attention was captured the whole time but I have interest in seeing it again. A 2-3 button movie is one in which there are some good parts to it but for the most part I could care less about seeing it again. The Matrix is a good one to put in here. If I’m flipping through the channels and find it on and it’s a cool scene I may watch, but there would be slight chance of me sitting through it again. A 1-2 movie just plain sucks. Waste of time, money, etc. I’m not going to be recommending it to other people and I’m surely never going to bother watching it again. A 0-1 button movie is unheard of as there is usually some redeeming quality to almost every movie I watch (as I am very easily entertained - see Carrie 2: The Rage).

The CAMPER

The first impression, uniqueness, visual and sound effects, and settings/scenery are huge... but most of my rating is based on the quality of the script and the quality of the acting. If I'm sucked in, it's an excellent film... if I have moments where my mind wanders... then it's not quite as good and so on.

The ZIPPER

.5 - 2 ZIPPERS:	Suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
2.5 ZIPPERS:	An average movie. Accomplished what it set out to do. Nothing exceptional. I would not walk our or demand my money back.
3 - 3.5 ZIPPERS:	Solid flick, but I'd wait for it on video.
4 ZIPPERS:	Good movie. Pleased with what I saw. No real complaints; it just misses a personal touch that would propel it into my elite movies.
4.5 ZIPPERS:	Great movie. Would gladly sit through a repeat viewing.
5 ZIPPERS:	Elite movie that also resonated with me personally. Changes my way of thinking. Would prominently display in my personal collection

The TECHNICS 1200 TURNTABLE

Its rare that you will find a movie with 5 turntables, but if you do I highly recommend you drop what u are doing and go see it. 4 ½ - it happens but not too often and the same with 4. I don't intend to hand out 4 turntables that often, I would say on average if I enjoyed a movie and would recommend it, it will receive a 3 or 3 ½ . If its anything less you might want to wait for video, unless it's a ½ turntable then I would save your $4.75 and put it towards a DVD purchase of a 4 turntable rating. Here's a quick breakdown:
5 turntables - GREAT MOVIE, Must see. Go to the theatre, maybe 2 times. Buy it on DVD when it comes out and quote it constantly.
4 - 4 ½ - Turntable - Again, great movie, but maybe only see it once in theatres
3 - 3 ½ turntables - Good movie, maybe wait until the DVD comes out to see it unless you think it looks really good
2-2 ½ turntable - don't waist the time or money at the theatre. Maybe buy it if there are one of those DVD sale clearances when DVD's are 5 for $25 and you only like 4 but then there's this one there and you need another one, so you're like I will get this. Then save it for a gift to a younger sibling for their bday
1 turntable - Probably shouldn't have gotten made, but it did, so deal with it.
½ - turntable - don't bother
