Welcome to After the Credits, this website is focused on providing various reactions and reviews to the world of entertainment both in a historical and a modern context.
​
As an avid fan of both film and television I have chosen to establish this blog with the intent of sharing my personal perspective regarding the landscape of the moving pictures both on the small and big screen.
​
I feel that it is necessary at this point to establish the boundaries upon which I evaluate films. In order to express my appreciation of films I will rate movies on a scale of 1 to 10 as used on the website IMDB. There are two distinct ways that I feel a movie can be successful in that there are both good and enjoyable movies. By only acknowledging those films which are executed well in a conventional sense of the word as worthy of praise one would fail to acknowledge why many of the most popular films throughout history have been critically tarnished such as Sharknado.
​
Below I will list and briefly state what a score between 1 and 10 would generally specify about a particular film/TV show.
​
1 - A film never finds a consistent narrative and is wholly without any entertainment value and is a slog to endure.
2 - The odd moment here or there keeping the film from being entirely without any entertainment value.
3 - The good elements of the film are overshadowed by the mistakes. Often a boring film with little rewatch value or any lasting impact of any caliber.
4 - Moving toward a consistent plot with glimpses of a technically impressive film.
5 - Moments of greatness mixed with scenes which should have been left out.
6 - Either an ambitious film with plot/production mistakes or an enjoyable yet goofy movie.
7 - A solid movie without plot holes.
8 - Consistent plot, enjoyable, not boring yet not perfect.
9 - A near perfect movie with a one or two plot inconsistencies/production mistakes which can not be overlooked.
10 - Either perfect in the technical sense with a consistent plot or a film so enjoyable that the flaws are forgotten.
