Welcome to The Bare Minimum. Here, Steph and Josh will post one-sentence reviews of films we’ve seen recently. We don’t discuss the movie until after we’ve seen each other’s reviews.
We have a few different ways of picking movies. There’s the Movie Mug, where we draw titles out of a mug we’ve filled with movies we want to watch or show each other. There are our quarantine movie lists, groupings of 10 thematically linked films we started compiling and watching around May of 2020. And there’s Secret Movie Club, where we take turns picking movies, and don’t tell each other what the movie is.
The star ratings are an average of our ratings, so will sometimes seem misleading. We also introduce our patented alarm clock rating system. Each film will get a rating of 1 to 5 alarm clocks. These ratings are not necessarily reflective of the film’s artistic merit. They’re more a measurement of to what degree the film is worth being/staying awake for. Five woke us up. One put us back to sleep.
Please enjoy!
