Welcome to BlownPotential.
We examine whether movies can achieve their full level of grandeur, or instead, leave great possibilities unrealized.
You’ll find current movie reviews in
The Grid section,
celebrity interviews and editorials in
The Vault section,
release dates for upcoming films in the
Coming Soon section,
and an explanation of our movie reviewing goals in the
Grading System section.
Feel free to send comments and suggestions to

Every idea for a film has an inherent amount of potential, and filmmakers attempt to convert that potential to the silver screen using the resources available to them. Chances are, if you’re checking out our site, you’re already interested enough in the movies to at least be checking out our site. And you probably also already know the basic idea of what that films reviewed on this site are supposed to be. Our grades compare the initial potential of the idea to the finished product by assessing how well the filmmakers accomplish what they set out to do given the premise of the movie, star power, source material, budget, etc. This does not necessary coincide with what critics determines to be fine art. In 2007 we slimmed the site down a bit, our 2006 grid has thorough reviews.
