But you can also get the ordinary people to democratize -- nation of reviews I guess it really it's a great website I recommend it to everybody so thanks for being here.
What we -- -- go watch this weekend.
Well I would say your best bet is probably Franken we -- the latest on from Tim -- This is a feature links version of a short film he made -- 1984.
It's an animated film and stop motion animation in black and white in three B -- -- homage to classic horror movies that the story about a young boy who's got.
Dog to Boise Victor Frankenstein when his dog dies of course with a name like Frankenstein he's gonna bring the dog back from the dead.
Thinks it'll crazy but the critics really love this -- 84% on our tomato meter.
It's certified fresh and really it's the best tribute movie he's done since Sweeney Todd from a few years back -- it really feels like classic Tim Burton and it's a fantastic movie.
For adults and kids alike.
I can't imagine there's anybody out there who doesn't know rotten tomatoes but your.
Just cut to explain the meal or a certified fresh ratings and -- ratings just explain those for our viewers who may have -- had been finding it for the first time.
Absolutely we run a percentage.
Positive reviews for any given -- so in the case.
-- we -- at 84%.
The movie as we call certified fresh because it's above sit above 60%.
We call -- fresh below sixty we caught rotten in the case of Franken -- at 84%.
Which it has enough for views.
And -- album the score that we caught certified fresh side effect would make a little award that'll go to the filmmakers are -- movies that are certified fresh.
And and another one -- I guess certified fresh above the 60% knock out this week opening.
Pitch perfect building on the whole sort of -- -- he American Idol everything we've seen the last few years I guess.
Yeah you know I have to tell you I wanted to pitch perfect expecting that I was gonna hate that -- Because who wants to see -- to our version of -- Lee -- but it's actually a really Smart really fun movie it's really sharp.
The humor is great the performances by cast members such as Anna Kendrick.
Rebel Wilson who almost steals the whole movie who Elizabeth Banks and John-Michael Higgins all are really funny in this -- The singing is fantastic it's a story about.
Competitive -- cappella groups which I know sounds kind of cheesy.
But I'm here to tell you it's actually a really sharp moving -- -- movies at 76%.
On our tomato meter.
-- certified fresh and it's expanding into wider release it was a sneak peek.
Last week because the early audience.
Reaction is very good and this is a movie that the audience is also loving.
And I strongly recommended it's a great movie really for people always you know I would take little kids do it but -- you know teenagers -- adults it's a lot of fun.
And a rebel Wilson is British so -- she steals the movie.
Yes of course shoot us up at all but dealt with something that AZ Ed decidedly -- -- stunning this week apparently taken to.
He unfortunately taken -- is not getting good marks from the critics this week.
The first movie did OK I was 50% of the tomato meter just under the cut off point a fresh rock.
But this what is only 14% the critics really don't like it.
They're calling it basically the same movie is the first -- you know again -- Neeson goes back to Europe and his ex wife gets kidnapped this time.
And he needs his daughter -- help him fighter you know he kills dozens of people in Istanbul on his way to find her.
His ex wife you know a lot of people would say well my ex wife got kidnapped you know fair game you can ever but this one day you know he really fight for.
You know again it's essentially the same movie.
The actions not particularly well stage I had kind of a good time it but I wouldn't say it's a particularly great -- But for those people like myself who are fans a loop but -- who produce this well.
I would say you might find something to like here although it's not one of -- -- best production.
It's always loved Lucas on wasn't he isn't -- the guy at the French -- subway.
Yes subways bonuses -- earliest films and that's a fantastic and it's -- fantastic Christopher -- there yeah yeah OK -- -- I have to say I never.
Ever go to war two movie of the the theater or even download one off -- iTunes without going to -- Rotten tomatoes hosted it really is.
A great website and a great guy and I think oversee make your own decisions but it is a great guy you must be pretty proud of the web -- -- -- -- I am I am pretty proud you know I love hearing -- people check the site are they going to say look if you wanna go see a movie go see a movie but at least check what we're saying to see what you're getting into.
