[...] Actual Movies, explained – NoFilmSchool – What is the Actual Movie rating? Isn’t a movie just defined as a moving picture, wherein still pictures are presented in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion, and therefore don’t all films qualify as actual movies? Well, yes and no. Your grandmother could project slides from her last Key West vacation on a wall for two hours and that would technically be a movie. We’re talking about a complex set of criteria (too complex to be adequately defined here), and a vast but gradual change in the very fabric of our society. [...]

[...] So. Without actually figuring out an ideal way of updating the Actual Movies page, I‚Äôm going to start a separate monthly post here where I reach a haphazard verdict on all the films I can remember seeing over the past month or so. This will allow all of us to engage in the universally enjoyable activity of debating things of little consequence–in this case, whether so-and-so movie fits into so-and-so category, as ill-defined by my arbitrary ratings system. This monthly post will include old movies as well as new ones. In case you have no idea what this is all about, the Actual Movies, Explained page contains the vague criteria behind this ratings system.

[...] More so than most films, Kong warrants a couple of different ratings. If I had to rate this movie at its best I’d give it five stars, but at its worst it is probably one-and-a-half. Most movies don’t have that kind of range, I think–a three-star movie, for example, would probably be between two and three-and-half, typically. Kong is really hit or miss. Thankfully, I don’t have to rate movies using stars, numbers, thumbs, or anything of the like (and I even seem to have abandoned my Actual Movie ratings system, which was a mockery of ratings system in the first place).
