Is it me?
I went through some of my previous reviews and a trend appeared to me. I am one negative bastard. I’ve reviewed 38 totals movies to date, and of them I would only consider 14 of them to be consider positive, which is a 36.84% ratio. Awefully low. Although I reminded myself that I’m not a school and don’t have to lower my standards to that of the masses. No bell curve in my reviewing future.
Curious I crunched the numbers and my average score is 2.12 stars and my median score is 2 stars. Most interesting is that several of my harshest reviews are from movies that are generally considered to be good films (Atonement, Hot Fuzz, Marie Antoinette, etc…). Perhaps the bell curve is relevant after all? Not for my reviews, but how my film tastes compare to the rest of the world?
