She's closing in on 400 films for the year.It turns out there actually is a Regal in Kansas City, the Ameristar Stadium 18. I've never been to it before because the prices were high, they had nothing every other theater didn't have and it's attached to a casino out in the middle of nowhere. But on the other hand, there is a bus that goes to it (I don't drive.)

Vickie stress-tested the Regal plan today.She saw 4 films today, one of them twice (The Kitchen.)

She liked "The Kitchen" that much? I barely made it through one viewing! :eek:Chris DeVoe said:
Well, I'll see it tomorrow. She likes it and I find her opinions a lot more reliable than yours.mrjinks said:
But couldn't one reasonably question whether someone who's on track to see roughly 600+ movies/year is maybe a less critical viewer than a casual moviegoer? Just glancing at your wife's feed for this month only, I see her with these comments:• The Kitchen: "fantastic movie"
• Brian Banks: "very good"
• Scary Stories to tell in the dark: "pretty good"
• Them That Follow: no specific praise, but seems quite favorable towards it
• American as Bean Pie: "very interesting"
• Je T'aime Moi Non Plus: "pretty good"
• The Chambermaid: "interesting and relatable"
• The Art of Racing in the Rain: "loved this"
• Dora and the Lost City of Gold: "fun, funny and exciting"
• The King's Letters: "fascinating"
• Once Upon A Time in Hollywood: "I love it"
• Child's Play: "I liked this one"
• Annabelle Come Home: "I enjoyed it well enough"
• It: "It was fun to see again"
• The Lion King 3d: "I liked this a lot"
• Hobbes & Shaw: "this was fun"
• Our Time: "such a surprise"
• Brewster McCloud: "This was my first time and I think it needs multiple viewings"
• The Freshman: "fascinating"
• David Crosby documentary: "liked it a lot"
• Dancing Elephant: "Loved"
It's too bad she doesn't rate them on a five-star scale, because then one could really determine how "critical" she is. It seems from her comments like everything would earn AT LEAST three stars from her.
Now that I'm off the MPass/Sinemia ride, I'm pretty discerning about what I spend my money on, and yet I don't think I've seen a 5-star film this year (I've seen maybe a dozen?). If I were to rank my movies - it would be more of a bell curve, with some hitting the one/two-star category. With all due respect, it seems your wife really likes the vast majority of films she sees. When people are seeking critical opinions, that's probably not where most of us would turn...
I will watch her on twitter for awhile, though, out of curiosity.

She honestly has very wide tastes. I don't know how many critics would see a film about the invention of the Korean language one day and Dora The Explorer the next,
