About

Movie Scribes is a full service interactive online movie information experience and a leading provider of movie reviews and news provided by professional writers with film industry experience!

At Movie Scribes, we are not “critics”- We are “Scribes” and Scribes. We record, the thoughts, opinions and reactions of movie goers and some critics. Many of our reviews are collaborative and represent those polled, survey takers and the utilization of our data collection method.

Our reviews follow the simple 3 step criteria of:

(1) Consistency- Is the film staying true to what it is trying to be or its message?

(2) Family Friendly- Is the film something adults, with children, can watch together?

(2) Tasteful- Are nudity, sexual liaisons, cursing etc present and or appropriate?

(3) Lastly,  each Scribes is permitted to add his or her own standard(s).

Most reviewers will dismiss a film because  it’s not what they want it to be- we base it on, what the reaction and thoughts of our users.
