Since I started this site, I have been doing a star system which is essentially going from 0.5 to 5 stars. I wanted to change this because of better flexibility to separate the soundtracks. For example, even though Hellboy II and There Will Be Blood got 3 stars, I still think one is better than the other. I thought about different rating systems to use. I could go 1 to 100% like the old computer games magazines, but I thought it would be too hard to maintain when I get a large number of reviews, especially as far as comparison goes. I have decided on a 0.5 to 10 rating system, doubling my previous ratings. I think this is a fair system and even though I would like to have even more flexibility I think this one will be easier to maintain while giving me what I need.

You can now rate my posts yourself, by choosing stars on top of the posts. There are 5 stars to choose from and may I remind you that its not the score itself you are rating, but rather the post. I am working on something for rating the reviews itself. I think it would be great to see what you think of the scores instead of just looking at the comments.

In fairness I have re-rated all my previous reviews, so they are comparable to my future reviews. Here are the new ratings from worst to best:
