Welcome to iRATE reviews.

Hi, I'm Willy. (Pictured Below)

I'm an absurdly average geek, dweeb, schmuck that dropped out of film school because he got tired of watching the same French New Wave films in every class. Now I use the "skills" I acquired in my short term as a film student, and my abilities as a life long comic-humping nerd to bring you the reader, the best damn movie* reviews this side of Quahog. I'm also the founder of Human Hyperbole, a sketch comedy project I started because of the same reasons that I endeavored to start this blog. Because I fucking can. So stay tuned and I'll bring you the most pretension free reviews I can muster.

Will I be working with a grading scale here? Yes. Rather than arbitrary means that don't really tell you to what degree the cinematic calamity sucked out loud, I'll use the same system of grading we were all subjected to and feared on a daily basis. Simple, straight forward letter grading. Lowest being the newly invented F- all the way up to the entirely conventional A+. How I come to my conclusions is entirely based upon my nerdy preconceptions, and the arbitrary madness that is the modern 20 something's mind. Will you disagree with my assessments? Probably, but I'm not approaching this with the idea of just slandering every piece of celluloid I come across.

What movies will I be reviewing? Primarily dork friendly flicks, for instance my premeire review: X-Men Origins: Wolverine. But I do leave my house for cinema that doesn't include adamantium claws or optic blasts. So I'll be reviewing semi-cult stuff like CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE and to the insanely conventional stuff that we all end up seeing from time to time. For many of those films, I may give them the 'Two Sentence' treatment, which is exactly what it sounds like. Two sentence reviews when I feel no need to express myself beyond that.

All right, I'm tired of going on about this bullshit. Either read it or don't, get off my case. Yeesh.

*I reserve the right to introduce reviews for other mediums, TV, Games etc. Though it will remain a primarily movie review site.
