Re: What makes a film good or bad?

Entertainment, in its widest meaning. That is, the involvement you have on the film and what it offers.

Re: Lifehacker polling favorite movie recommendation site.

IMDb works better as a database as everything is there, Their database for American and European films is extremely impressive, but when it comes to other countries it's pretty scarce. I had to add tons of films there (and don't get me started at how annoying their film adding system is) just to be...

Re: Lifehacker polling favorite movie recommendation site.

I use Criticker, IMDb and FilmAffinity. And each one has its advantages over the rest. That is, Criticker is the best site for recommendations with its improved system of tiers and TCIs, IMDb works better as a database as everything is there, and FilmAffinity is the best place for reviews (only avai...

Re: What is your experience on the recommendations?

They usually work and I have used them sometimes for choosing what to watch, however, and maybe because of my habits of rating everything ridiculously highly (my T10 average is 98) Criticker tends to believe that I automatically will adore every praised movie, which in the end leads to the biggest f...

Re: Do you try to rate movies "objectively"?

A few related questions, I'd be interested in hearing people's opinions. I guess much of this applies equally to other artisitic endeavours such as music and literature. 1) Do you rate purely on the basis of how much you LIKE the film or on the basis of how (objectively) GOOD you think it is. Or ha...

Re: Criticker vs Jinni vs the others...

2. http://www.filmaffinity.com/images/final_logo_stars.gif [*]The most similar, useful, site to Criticker that I have found. The site finds the 20 users with the best affinity (these are called soulmates; most will be Spanish), then provides recommendations based on those users' rankings. It's less...

Re: What proportion of your ranked movies are American?

514 / 916 = 56,11% By the way, how do you find the data for movies outside the USA? Do you make a sum of every single country or something? That would be a pain in the ass, and actually unhelpful since they overlap so much. What I did was highlight every country under the filter in my rankings, and...
