ABOUT THE SITE

      All reviews are from the mind of Las Vegas writer Chad Clinton Freeman. Some may contain minor spoilers as most reviews do. I would suggest you use the approach I do. If you’ve never heard of a film or think you might posslibly want to see it, but just aren’t sure yet, read the review to try and find out more about it. If it is a movie you are dying to see, but haven’t gotten around to it, skip the review until after you've seen it. Don’t worry, I would never do something as idiotic as giveaway a secret twist, especially if we are talking about anything on the level of a M. Night Shyamalan or Paul Haggis ending.

     There will be no method to the madness of what I review. Whatever I watch, I will review. Last, but not least, keep in mind, I am no movie expert and these are only my opinions. But what you will get is my honesty. I’m not scared to admit I like something when I do. I still claim the music of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Madonna and I walk around in a Houston Texans NFL jacket. I'm not too scared to voice me dislike in something either. No matter how many people tell me how good “Forrest Gump,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Schindler’s List” or “The Godfather” are, I will argue with them otherwise. I do not like these movies and I have my reasons.

RATING SCALE

     The rating scale works like this - four stars equals a perfect or almost  perfect film, three is a great film, two is a good film and one is a bad film. No movie ever deserves zero stars, not even complete garbage. Are all movies with the same rating equal? No, not at all and from time to time I will place movies with the same number of stars against each other for a film fight.

MISSION STATEMENT

In search of cinematic polished apples, PollyStaffle.com looks for the good among the unknown and tries to bring darkness to the light in order to expose the rotten for what it is. But most of all, this site is a celebration of individuality, diversity, creativity and empowerment.
