I don’t think it’s possible unless you can somehow work out a HTML code that works that way.
Anyway, lets just see what the other people say about this problem. 😉
I’m not presently aware of any widgets that are post content-aware in any useful way to your request.
As for a ‘mod,’ one tool I like using because it’s built into WordPress (and is quite useful if you know how to take advantage of it) is custom fields. For an example, you can use a custom field key of ‘rating,’ with the value being the movie rating you’ve given.
Then in the sidebar you can add the following to collect and display the ‘rating’ custom field:
<?php
global $post;
$rating = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'rating', true);
if( $rating ) : ?>
<ul>
<li>Rating: <?php echo $rating; ?></li>
<ul>
<?php endif; ?>
An enterprising widget developer could easily widgetize something like this…
One other thing some blogs have like a mini gallery at the bottom that leads to a photo gallery any clue on how to do this. The code works out fine! Thanks, Just wondering it appears very small, for me.

Anyway to change this?
Lots of photo gallery options out there.

RE: text size
Couple options. One is to place the rating in an <h2> with the rest of your sidebar’s headers (i.e. Search, Archives):
<li><h2>Rating: <?php echo $rating; ?></h2></li>
Second is to modify your list tag to include a class:
<li class="rating">Rating: <?php echo $rating; ?></li>
Then you can style this through your theme’s style.css.
