The Critics Picks

These two critics (that's us) have devised our own movie rating scale. We deal in thumbs (not stars). Since we are two people the best possible rating can only be a 4 Thumbs Up and the worst possible rating can only be a 4 Thumbs Down, and the range of thumbs in between. So with that being said the rating goes something like this:

4 Thumbs UP = EXCELLENT, MUST RENT.
3 Thumbs Up = Very good, consider renting this one.
2 Thumbs Up = Good, consider renting this one.
1 Thumb Up = So-so. Only rent if nothing else on the shelf.
1 Thumb Down = Bad movie. You are not missing anything.
2 Thumbs Down = Among some of the worst movies ever made.
3 Thumbs Down = Don’t waste your time.
4 Thumbs Down = NEVER RENT THIS ONE. If you've already seen it, well then we are sorry!

This is the first installment of the Dunmar Movie Review. For a plot summary, go to the following website http://www.imdb.com/ and type in the name of the movie.

Next (Nicolas Cage) - 1 Thumb up, had potential, a little bit of a let down
Ratatouille (Animation) - 2 Thumbs up, cute movie
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End (Johnny Depp) - 4 Thumbs down, Jon made a turd sound with his mouth "pthfrrrrrrb"
Ironman (Robert Downy Jr.) - 4 Thumbs up, Excellent and a must see
National Treasure: Book of Secrets (Nicolas Cage) - 3 Thumbs up, good storyline, great scenery, fun movie
The Bucket List (Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman) - 3 Thumbs up, good storyline, good characters
Sicko (Documentary) - 3 Thumbs up, interesting and should see to form your own opinions about the health care system
The Incredibles (Animation) - 2 Thumbs up, cute fun family movie
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (John Cho, Kal Penn) - 3 Thumbs up, Not a family movie but very entertaining and there's a funny Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) cameo
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (John Cho, Kal Penn) - 3 Thumbs up, funny George Bush impersonator and another Neil Patrick Harris cameo
The Game Plan (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) - 2 Thumbs up, cute little story and we LOVE The Rock anyway
Semi - Pro (Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson) - 4 thumbs down, not worth the rent, if you want to see Will Ferrell in a funny movie rent Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
The Curse of El Charro (Us! and no one you would know) - 3 Thumbs down, BUT ONLY because we are in it...if they cut out our scene we'd give it 4 Thumbs down. Horrible flick. Still, the director managed to include a lesbian shower scene and midget bartenders... weird!

SINGLE REVIEWER (just me, Jon didn’t watch these)
The Brave One (Jodie Foster) - 2 Thumbs up, Talk about taking matters into your own hands. Good movie.
Fool's Gold (Kate Hudson, Mathew McConaughey) - 1 Thumb up, I like the scenery, if you know what I mean!
