Watched in 2021
A log of all the films I have watched in 2021. I only give full number ratings on scale from 1 to 5. This means I sometimes have to make difficult calls in whether I round down or up IMDB scores (e.g. 7 becomes either 3/5 or 4/5 feature for the review blurp). But in the first place numerical ratings are only rough indications of film's quality and merit so I think this is fine.
