But it's anyway too complicate for you then and confident too....

another good one: "District 9"
with 8.27/10

huh, how do you pull these numbers out from your hat? I've no degree of confidence in you......

a good Mexican one: Y Tu Mama Tambien.....with a casey rating of...8.999999/9.9999999999 ....

[hobglobin]

and that result looks as if from an ill-programmed software or calculator

[casandra]

....ppfftt...I guess my system of rating is just a lot better than yours...

[hobglobin]

You still didn't get the principle of my "calculation"? It's soo simple....

@ Casandra : it's easy to come up with score like Hob's . . . when we say 1 to 10. . they amplify it 10 times in their mind and come up with a score and divide it by 10 when typing it. So, whatever you say, he hears it 10times loud and his response is 10 times less than what he is thinking Isn't that simple!

woman in black 9/10
or may be he gets it from imdb.. or rottentomatoes??!!!

[casandra]

nope, PI....dr H is a lot more "complicated" and original so he would definitely invent his own rating system....I'd guess he's doing a conversion of the star rating to the numerical one...hmmm...but those weird decimal numbers are kinda confounding...

...so my other educated guess is that he's not using a five-point star but rather a heptagram.....and the way he'd rate (esp while hammered ) is by number of stars (X2) the maximum, of course, is the usual 5 plus a fraction of the heptagram converted into decimals and then tweak them a bit (esp the hundredth number) just to confuse us more...really so sneaky of him... so what do you think? It makes a lot of sense eh? I'm really good ......


to go back on track:

Denys Arcand's Les Invasions Barbares I'd give this a 4 stars and 3/4 of a heptagram rating.....

Another korean. . . 7/10

[LostintheLab]

Most recently watched movie

Vicky Christina Barcelona 7/10

Woody Allen in Spain, fantastic acting from Penelope Cruz and a soundtrack of gorgeous-ness

[hobglobin]

didn't liked it so much, too many stereotypes of beautiful Spain and Latin lovers: 6,40/10 (but Cruz & Johansson of course are the highlights... )

"Anything Else" I liked more 7.39/10

[LostintheLab]

Hmmm I suppose there were some stereotypes there, but still enjoyable, I'll have to give that other woody allen a look since I like his work (well alot of it anyway).
Continuing in the Spanish theme for now

Pan's labyrinth (2001)

I really liked this film (actually I like Guillermo Del Toro as a director), weird fairy tale almost horror and blurring of fantasy and reality set against the backdrop of the Spanish civil war. 8/10

[toejam]

continuing with kind of horror films....

just saw "the mist" last night. 7.5/10

plot: Although a monster movie, the central theme is what ordinary people will be driven to do under extraordinary circumstances.

or by guillermo del toro (proud to say he's Mexican ) "the orphanage" is also good.

ek ruka hua faisla - hindi (original is 12 angry men)
