I started seriously watching films less than a year ago. I tend to use IMDb more than Rotten Tomatoes, although it does have its disadvantages. I've been writing occasional reviews too, but they're very much a work in progress. Usually, I have trouble writing about a movie unless I have a strong or unique reaction to it.

The only two films I've given 1/10s to so far are Captain Calamity (1936) and Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968), which are fortunately forgotten by most people today. Thats not to say I haven't hated other movies... usually I'm able to find at least some merit in them, but these two are an absolute waste of time.
