THE RATING SYSTEM

      Reviews are rated on a scale of 0 to 4 pops (0 being the worst and 4 being the best). One reviewer is assigned to write a review but if other reviewers see the same film, they get to put in their 2 cents too.  The Other Junkie's Opinions section (located at the bottom of each review) is where you'll find more opinions.  Each reviewer who has seen the film rates the movie and the average number of pops given is the official Junkie rating.  The number in parenthesis next to the number of pops will tell you how many reviews the rating is based on. 

THE REVIEWERS

      Why do you read movie reviews?  If you're like us, it's because you want to know if a particular movie is going to be enjoyable.  The problem is, when you read a movie review you only get one person's opinion-- how are you supposed to know if your movie likes/dislikes are the same as the reviewer?  What if the reviewer hates all Independent films?  What if the reviewer is a sappy romantic and gives great reviews for all romance movies?  How can you tell if you can trust a reviewer's opinion when you don't even know anything about them?  Our solution: Popkorn Junkie.  Each movie can be commented on by up to 8 different reviewers and each reviewer has his or her own profile.  Read up on the reviewers and find out about their favorite movies, directors, and actors and decide who's opinion you really trust!  Find out here...

JOIN US

      Currently we're not looking for new reviewer to join our staff, but we are always happy to post  "Guest Junkie" reviews.  A "Guest Junkie" review is one that is written by a non-Popkorn Junkie writer.  Here's how it works: If you submit a review to us for a movie currently playing in theaters that we do not already have posted on our site, we will post your review and you will be listed as a "Guest Junkie".  If we post 3 or more "Guest"  reviews, only then will we consider adding you to our staff.  If you would like to submit a review to us for a recently released film that we do not already have posted on our site please email us.

SIX DEGREES OF KEVIN BACON

      Here's how to play: Given a celebrity, try to link him or her to Kevin Bacon in six films or less.  Example: Casey Affleck.  Casey Affleck was in "Soul Survivors" with Luke Wilson who was in "My Dog Skip" with Kevin Bacon.  Hence, Casey Affleck can be linked in 2 degrees.
