The Eight-Facet Info System
The eight-digit number that accompanies review indicates the quantity of eight different facets commonly found in movies. These facets influence the MPAA ratings (e.g. PG-13), but are more detailed in the information they provide. For example, if you don't mind some violence, but can't stand gore, the MPAA rating doesn't help you much. The Eight-Facet Info System provides specifics about each. Ratings go from 0 (None) to 4 (Lots!), from left to right:

The Overall Rating
The Overall Rating reflects the sum of the parts and the experience of the movie as a whole. An erratic but fun comedy could score higher than a well-made but less amusing one.
