One of the first questions that comes to mind before reviewing a new release is: How does it live up to my current top standard for its genre?
My standards of quality for each genre change over time the more movies I watch, without necessarily changing my "favorites" list. For example, Die Hard is my favorite action movie of all time but Jack Reacher is my new top standard for action movies due to updated filming techniques, effects, better stunts/acting, etc.
So my question is, what are yours? I'll lead off with a few:
Horror: The Cabin in the Woods
Sports: Warrior
Superhero: The Dark Knight
Comic Book/Graphic Novel: Road to Perdition
Action: Jack Reacher
Sci-Fi: District 9
