Life of a King ... 7/10
The Killer Inside Me - 1/10
A vile, exploitative thriller with no redeeming features. The plot, such as it is, makes little sense and is a paper thin excuse for the director to show some scenes of sickening violence against women on the flimsy pretense of exploring the inner workings of a damaged mind. Ben Affleck's younger brother Casey plays a walking charisma void called Lou; a detestable little worm whose voice apparently never broke. You who wait the entire film for him to get what's coming to him but when he does, it's as unsatisfying as the rest of this mess. Is that a spoiler? I don't really care, this film deserves to be spoiled. In fact it deserves to be thrown onto a pile of great celluloid fails and set fire to. To add insult to injury, Winterbottom probably thinks he's being edgy by scoring his pointlessly violent and unrealistic psychodrama with a jaunty little ditty - yeah, no-one's ever thought of that before. You tosser.
Low score for the Must See movie.

It's just the standards I seem to sport. "Casablanca" tops at 8.5/10. "Out of Africa": 8/10. " On the Waterfront": 8/10. 5/10 is pretty appreciative for "LA LA LAND."
If you use an 8.5 point scale instead of 10 you should say that.
They award marks for languages out of 100 just like they do for math or physics. Have you ever seen anyone getting 100/100 in French or English?! That's because even the greatest ever English answer sheet in the history of all schools across the world can always be bettered by someone later in the future. That's why they never give 100/100 in languages. Perfection is always time-challenged. Even Stephen Hawking accepted some of his revolutionary theories of his lifetime just turned out to be just plain wrong after the whole world celebrated them for decades. There is a reason why in math and sciences we begin the definitions of even the truest of all concepts with the phrase "It maybe defined as..." not "It is defined as..." although we have been depending on them for our lives for centuries. Even E maybe defined as m multiplied by c square. Still. One may be allowed to do a 10/10 for his favourite film just before WW-III ends.
This is seriously flawed logic. If 100/100 is not possible then it is not an appropriate scale. 100/100 (or 10/10) does not mean perfect, never has. It means exemplary, well above the standard and execution of the expectations. What you have done is made a new scale.
And yes, as a teacher I have seen students awards 100/100 for English. A 5-point rubric allows for that.
