This is excellent and it really makes me want to get my movie up as soon as possible. I really enjoyed reading these reviews. Finally a game outside of the network game worth getting excited about.

I'm really loving how you set this up Spence. It reminds of what I in real life on Rotten Tomatoes for movies. This is so great and it makes the game even cooler now than it was before. Thank you very much Spencer!

I feel good about Star Girl as it was my second biggest release of the summer behind Theme Park so this movie should do good with a very high 77%. This might be one of the first female heroin flicks to do that well among critics.

I'm glad you like it. It takes about 15-20 minutes per movie surprisingly....
