How do you skip terrible movies? I find the only way to find out if a movie is good is to watch it. If I went by reviews I’d probably be watching mostly blockbusters. Critics and I don’t always align either. A lot of the movies I like I find land around 60-65 on IMDB, and 50% on rotten tomatoes.

I only get to the theater maybe 5-6 times per year, and that’s almost always with my spouse, so the movie is secondary to the experience.
I do watch a lot on streaming, and between the summary, genre, actors, director, and reviews, both professional and word-of-mouth…I can usually pick out what I will enjoy. If it turns out bad, it’s one button to turn it off.
