Most movies are simply listed alphabetically within year viewed. Some lists link to very brief commentary. “Star” ratings are included, e.g. … 7*=Seven stars. ‘Ten’ is for epics like Doctor Zhivago, which excels in history, acting, scenery, story, and score. (I’ve been told I’m harsh with my ratings!)
Longer “reviews” are the domain of other entertainment:
