🧤 Not all movies play the same game—so we’re not grading them like they do.
Introducing the Mitten’s Dual Grading Scale 🎬🎥
Blockbusters = execution & entertainment.
Indies = vision & voice.
Same 1–10 scale. Two different standards. Because context matters.

🎬 Reel Take – Anaconda
🐍 Jack Black brings the chaos, Paul Rudd keeps it straight, and a giant CGI snake chews the scenery. Campy, splashy, knowingly absurd—this reboot leans into dumb fun the right way. Watch here: https://f.mtr.cool/akojegjpnp

Reel Take. No polished legacy here — the trailer lives in the streets, where fists settle scores and grit fuels survival. Brutal clashes, raw energy, and a tone that feels more fight-for-respect than family toast. Watch here: https://f.mtr.cool/ygnyulrnsj

🎥 Reel Review – We Strangers. A cleaner’s lie about speaking to the dead spirals into a haunting look at class, identity & belonging. Howell-Baptiste shines, Valia directs with eerie precision. Not your typical thriller—this is a sharp, unsettling meditation on belonging and survival. Rated: 6.8/10.

🎥 Reel Review. The Long Walk is brutal but straightforward: 100 boys, one rule—don’t stop. It’s quiet, heavy, and unflinching, with raw performances that stick. Mitten's Verdict: harsh, relentless, and strangely moving. Rated: 8 out of 10.
