Those are the tomato ratings from rottentomatoes.com
The first one is from critics and the second one is from rottentomato users.

60% and above is considered "fresh"

Below 60% is rotten.

Flip that. Rotten Tomatoes is critics.

I get the Rotton Tomatoes rating, and the Flixter ratings, but who gives them the star ratings?

The star ratings are from Tribune Media (I think)

The red tomato or green rotten stuff is from rotten tomatoes (movie critics)

The popcorn is from rotten tomato users (semi-regular folk)(flixster)

Right, those are from Tribune. I think they use multiple sources. The ones I've heard of specifically are Roger Ebert and Leonard Maltin.

Thanks for the info, I was looking all over their(D*) website and found nothing about these icons. You'ld think they would say something about stuff in their own menus right? Unless I missed it.:eek2: Thanks again!
