I Review Something

I’ve attended the Sundance Film Festival for several years and given each of the movies a numerical score from 1 to 100. Ok, so nothing has actually managed to get all the way down to 1, although I’ve definitely been exposed to some pretty horrible dreck.

I’ll start with posting my scores from 2005 and work my way back.
