Bigger, juicier and livelier than
before. The E-Reviews levelled-up to bring you the freshest reviews and to
satisfy your cravings for better films. Why did I created The Movie Bud? It’s
because I want to create a site with a centralized theme… and what better motif
there is than food. Expect more gimmicks and food puns. For starters, let me
introduce you to the TMB Rating System.
THE LEGENDAIRY
These are the crème de la crème of
movies. I always believe that the best films are not only intelligent and entertaining.
They need to have a lasting impact. They should be timeless and legen-waitforit-dary!
Example: Back to the Future, Spirited
Away, Scarface, The Avengers and Gone Girl

THE BACONTASTIC
Addictive is the most suitable word for
this category. These movies are so good, you’d pay to see them again. They are
awesome, exquisite and/or highly recommendable but aren’t good enough to be
considered as one of the greats.
Example: Blade Runner, Wall-E, School of
Rock, Hancock and Whiplash
THE TASTY BURGER
The Fresh Tomato. The passing rate. The
OKAY. They are entertaining enough for your time, effort and money but they’re
recommendable for one-time viewing only (or for many times in TV).
Example: Men in Black, Despicable Me, Pitch
Perfect, Thor and The Fault in Our Stars
THE TAKE-OUT
You might as well download or catch
these on TV for free than spend some money in cinemas because they’re either
forgettable or extremely mediocre. However, some of them are good but they’re
super boring to watch in theatres.
Example: Pacific Rim, Brave, The Da
Vinci Code, Fantastic Four and Annabelle
THE ROTTEN EGG
Yucky, smelly, horrible films. They’re
not recommendable to anyone but some of them are hilariously bad and
inoffensive.
Example: After Earth, Planet 51, The
Twilight Saga: New Moon, Green Lantern and The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon
Adventure
THE SHITBRICK
If the Rotten Egg is not recommendable,
the Shitbrick should be defecated from our memories.
Example: Movie 43, Disaster Movie,
Catwoman and Identity Thief
So how does the new ratings differ from
the previous one? Simple. The rating system today is based on memorability and
quality combined, unlike last time where it’s purely quality-wise. Expect more
5/5’s from now on and lesser 3/5’s. There are also new gimmicks in the site
like the REVIEW ALA CARTE (Full Review), the COMBO REVIEW (miniReview w/ related
films), the SPECIAL ORDER (other happenings related to film) and the FULLY
LOADED REVIEW (miniReviewCalypse).
