About

Stars & Popcorn is a film site that offers reviews and articles. Of course, there are millions of review sites out there. Heck, anybody on twitter can review a movie in 140 characters. What separates Stars & Popcorn from all those other sites, is that it understands that not all great movies are good. Pacific Rim is a very different kind of film from Casablanca, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t both good movies.  

The key is our two rating system:

Stars-Which grades a film on artistic merit and cinematic value (Think Schindler’s List, 2001: A Space Odessey and Citizen Kane).

Popcorn- How much fun a movie is to watch (Think Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Back to the Future and The Dark Knight).

While other sites might tell you if a movie is good or bad, Stars & Popcorn will tell you if it’s worth watching in spite of all that. Because we all have those movies we love to hate, and we feel like there is a huge disconnect between critics and audiences these days.  

So, next time you’re getting ready to head out to the movies be sure to check out our site to know whether that flick is really worth the price of admission.
