Film Muser
Since I watch so many movies and am constantly asked, “if I’ve seen anything good lately”, I decided to create a blog where I can post some quick and dirty reviews. I generally watch between three and five movies a week, and I hope to post a review of each of them right after the viewing. This sounds like a big commitment, but I think I can do it.

You never seem to dislike any movies. How can I trust your reviews?
My reviews are simply to tell you what I thought of the films, and based on what I have said I hope that it will help you make a decision whether or not to see it. Depending on the type of movie I’m watching, I know what to expect and what not to expect. If I’m seeing a Michael Bay movie, I know to expect lots of big explosions with little story. If I’m watching a movie like The Last King of Scotland I’m expecting a gripping story with no cheap tricks to try and wow me.
I think I’ve said this to you before. If I go to McDonalds I can have a very satisfying meal, but by no means will it be high quality. If I go to some downtown steakhouse, I’m expecting to be satisfied, as well as have an incredible dining experience.
And there are movies that I dislike. For example, I consider Wolf Creek and Rumor Has It to be two of the worst movies of all time.
My concern is if I am short on time and I decide to use filmmuser.com to make my viewing choice and reference your rating system (#/5) without reading the description then there will be no way to distinguish between Mcdonalds and the steakhouse (using your analogy).
McDonalds style movies will never get a high rating, so the number should still give you a good indication. I just generally can find enjoyment in these style of movies.
Speaking from a recent conversation we had, I enjoyed The Fast and the Furious, but I’d never give it the same type of rating as The Last King of Scotland. I would likely give that one a 2.5 / 5.
