    	I put in a bunch of "reviews" [rated them 1-10 or so], and as I
    	got to around 20-25 movies the suggested rating was either right
    	on or within 1 rating point of what I would have entered for a
    	movie I'd already seen.

    The only one it missed on for me was "Heathers," which I liked. I
    suggested that I would rate it dead bottom. Other than that, except for
    really obscure movies (which I guess don't have enough ratings in the
    database) it's either right on or within one point.
    
    I REALLY like the "recommendations!"
    
    We print it out & take it to the video store. It hasn't missed yet!
    
    Anyone else want to rate "Heathers?" It was so far off for me that I
    was surprised (& confused.)

    	I'd rate it 1 point below "Excellent", if I remember the rating
    	system correctly.
    
    	I'll try it and see what it gives me.

     You make one up. Hit the first-time-user button and it will set you up.
     Unlike other systems, this one has JUST a password, no "username".
     So when you select your password, do be sure it's awkward. Otherwise
     someone might log in as you and screw up your ratings.
