About Movie Nights, and TV reviews

As time has gone on, Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar has become less about the pub quizzes I ran: and more about both the Daily Teasers, stuff I’ve been doing, TV shows I’ve caught or enjoyed, and movies I’ve seen.

Those movies — and, more recently, the TV shows — have been on DVD, or blu-ray, rented from iTunes or streamed from various sites.

They give me — and anyone who joins me — a cheap night in.

At any rate, the movies and shows I get to see are the ones I try and post about.

Now, if you’ve already seen any of the films, and want to post up comments, you’re welcome to: here’s the ‘How To’.

Feel free to agree or disagree with each review.

So long as you leave your name, I’m happy.

As a final point … ?

You might or might now have read my post about Salt, but I did something fairly new for me.

Just to make a point about the merits of some movies compared to others, I did a very improvised rating system.

Here …
  • GO GET NOW: and make your friends watch!   ★★★★⁺
  • GO GET NOW: If you’ve missed ’em, more fool you.   ★★★★
  • Keepers: films worth watching, highly watchable and keeping a copy of: at least, certainly worth a second look.   ★★★☆
  • Watchers: worth watching, possibly even thought provoking, but not necessary worth keeping.   ★★☆☆
  • Nice to have seen: but mostly forgettable.   ★☆☆☆
  • And finally …
  • ForGET it.   ☆☆☆☆
A four star (★★★★) film — or TV show — is one I rate highly: and think you should see.   A four star plus film?   Is even better

Zero stars?   (☆☆☆☆).  Don’t waste your money.

Now …

Go watch a movie …
