MOVIES SEEN, BOOKS READ, CDS LISTENED, GAMES PLAYED... THE BEST AND THE WORST OF 2006

ps.: listing and scoring only. Reviews may eventually come on the main page.

-Brief explanation of my five-stars score method-

I chose the stars to rank movies, music, books and games because it is, in my honest opinion, the best way to express your views upon something. I review everything based on the purpose. By that I mean I could give 4 stars to very different movies, like the masterpiece "Schindler's List" and the silly but great brazilian movie "A Partilha". No movies will ever get less than one star. I consider everything, even staff's effort, or writer's effort, or whatever. And it's very unlikely to see anything with five stars. I am very picky and only few movies, books, games and music gained them all.
