2020 Reviews
So... I swapped grading systems in September 2017! I've always hated that there are star-grading-systems out of 5 stars, and some out of 4, such that I always need to specify! And I've found that conversationally I use letter grades more often, as there are more grade options, allowing for greater specificity. So I figured that with my new approach of posting video-reviews on Instagram, now's a good time to swap grading systems. Heeeere we go: letter grades it is!
Also, if you think I'm too nice given that most of my reviews are rather positive, remember: I'm not a critic who's paid to see all movies including the bad. I only go to see movies that I think I will like, and I'm pretty good at gauging that :)
