Anvil and Sprocket Movie Review

Welcome to the Anvil and Sprocket Movie Review! That’s quite a mouthful, isn’t it? Fitting, because we have over five years of original movie reviews, spanning almost all genres and several continents worth of film. Good movies, bad movies, art movies, trash movies — as long as the pritty pitchers flicker on the screen, we’re satisfied to watch slack-jawed and report back to you.

Our rating method is designed to answer the question most immediately on your mind: is it worth your time? We eschew four, five, ten, and hundred-point systems for this simple triad:

• Keeper: You’ll want this on your shelf.
• Renter: Don’t let it collect dust in your house.
• Bomb: Worth less than the plastic it’s printed on.

Note that these scores are not a measure of quality but a measure of fun. Hilariously bad movies might be rated “keepers” if they’re watchable enough. That might seem a little tricky, but hey — there’s the whole rest of the review to clue you into that.

Our reviewing staff is also a happy three, with the occasional guest poster:

• Anvil: that’s me.
• Sprocket: that’s my brother.
• Miss Chordia: that’s our friend.

About which more later also.
