You say tomato, I say tamato

Hey everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long. Exams are coming up and I've had a crap load of homework. Besides, nothing has caught my eye.

There are several movies out right now, some of which include The Blind Side, Fantastic Mr. Fox, A Christmas Carol, and the ever favorite there-hasn't-been-one-since-forever-and-a-half-ago G rated movie, The Princess and the Frog. Yes, I'm aware that most of these have been out for a LONG time. I'm just getting to them. (With my sister out of town, my movie watching goes way down.)

There is this website, called rotten tomatoes, that reviews movies and gives them percents based on critics and viewers thoughts. For example, Old Dogs made 5% on rotten tomatoes, earning it a rotten tomato. It was awful according to the critics. Fantastic Mr. Fox on the other hand, made 92%, making it a fresh pick and worth seeing. Anything below 50% is not recommended. Anything above 60% is a fresh tomato. Most people who use this site agree with it, but sometimes rotten tomatoes are good, depending on personal preferance. Definitely do not see anything below 20% though.

So, what I'm saying is, if you want to see a movie and rotten tomatoes gives it a good review, it is definitely worth it. Check it out: www.rottentomatoes.com.

Use it and tell me what you think!!

I liked Fantastic Mr. Fox. It was a little bit odd, but besides that, it great!
