The DaveScale - Diaries of a Movie Snob

The DaveScale™
0 - 4.5: Fail, thumbs-down, very few (if any) redeeming qualities. (F to D+)
5 - 5.5: Thumbs-down but a pass. (something like a C-)
6 - 7.5: Fair to Good, passable (C to B)
8 - 8.5: A very good film, 4 stars. This mark and above comes down to taste. (B+ to A-)
9: Excellent. (A)
9.5 - 10: An essential film. (A/A+)

The Night Before Christmas
















The Night Before Christmas sees the filmmakers' Grandmother recite the incredibly famous poem where one sentence equals one frame. The film very funny in parts, the idea is quite clever, but it's ultimately slight and a little under-cooked.

(dir. Sam Bassett, USA, 8 mins)
