M: This is one of my favorite TV shows ever. I just finished watching the first season and half of the second on Hulu.com. Hulu has the first 4 seasons right now. A fantastic show with a great cast, including Phil Hartman. Check it out. 3 1/2 stars.
V: Pretty funny. It is good to see Phil Hartman. 3 stars.

a bit about what we're doing
We have been collecting our movie ratings for a while now, just for fun. So here's our blog with our newer reviews, and check out the link (above) to all of our reviews (over 100.)
Our ratings scale:
1 Star: Stinks
2 Stars: Just O.K.
3 Stars: Good
4 Stars: Excellent
Where are the new movies? You should know that we rarely see movies in theaters these days. This is partly because we prefer to pay one dollar rather than 20, but mostly because we have our kiddos at home (and yes, then we'd have to pay 40 buckos! for one movie!) So our reviews will come whenever we get around to seeing the DVDs.
Ratings seem high? Like you, I'm sure, we try to see movies that we think are going to be good, and which have gotten good reviews. Of course, occasionally we come across a real stinker - against our will, and we want that time back!
MPAA ratings seem low (PG, PG-13 range)? Yep, that's how we like them. Occasionally, we will include R films (e.g., United 93) if we feel they are really worth watching.
