TV Reviews:

Off Centre: Dud

Skins: A show about kids—not realistic, in the slightest! **

Rating System

Music, games, TV and most other extremities:

A+: Masterpiece.
A: Great but after prolonged exposure doesn't deepen much.
A−: Good but basic.
B+: A slightly lazy version of an A−.
B: Dull/bland.
B−: Bad.
C+: Really bad.
***: Just holds some form of respectability, but on a high level.
**: Just holds some form of respectability, but on a medium level.
*: Just holds some form of respectability, but on a low level.
Dud: Not even worth mentioning.

Films:

4 Stars: Masterpiece.
3.5 Stars: A great film—but a little unfocused.
3: A fun movie that can be enjoyed— but, more often than not, not serious enough.
2.5 Stars: Not very enjoyable but still contains elements that make a good movie.
2: Pretty poor—not very smart—seems to drag.
1.5 Stars: A bad movie that still has a few things to like about it.
1 Star: A really bad movie that fails on almost every level—perhaps retaining some sort of entertainment value through special effects.
0.5 Stars: Pretty shit.
0 Stars: Not even worth mentioning.
