NEW - a flick that's relatively new... most likely still in the theater. Of course, as time passes, these will become less new.
OBSCURE - a flick that may have slipped through the cracks, but we think it's worth taking notice of. Hopefully, these can become a little less obscure.
FAVORITE - a flick that we just love (or at least one us loves)
SURPRISE - a flick we saw that was a pleasant surprise. This could be due to low expectations, no expectations, or a flick we just happened to see that turned out to be worth watching.
