Movie Grades – 2Q 2007

Posted at July 1, 2007

A
Schindler’s List - Slightly underperformed my expectations, but looking back, my expectations were way too high. Liam Neison’s performance was one of the best in any movie I’ve ever seen.

A-
Das Leben der Anderen - Great movie, but not worthy of IMDB top 100.
Knocked Up – The most complete and flawless acting in a comedy I’ve ever seen. Instant classic.
Once - This is a must-see if you’re not an emotionless-robot.

B+
Alpha Dog – Powerful movie based on a true story. Timberlake is surprisingly a great actor. See this movie if street-crime/gang premises interest you.

B
Mr. Brooks - Farfetched, but did a good job keeping your interest.

B-
Ocean’s Thirteen – Sloppy, but still entertaining.
Little Children - Tried to be like American Beauty but was ultimately unengaging, and, quite frankly, disturbing.

C+
Glengarry Glen Ross - Melodrama anyone?

C
Fracture - Color-by-number twist-ending drama. I’d give it an A if I was still 12 and easy to fool. Hopkins was classic though.

D+
Hostel Part II - The first one was believable, and terrifying. This one is just unbelievable.

D
Superfly - Terrible movie, but some novelty value for laughing at the logic of misguided Harlem drug dealers from the 70s. “A million dollars…CASH!!”

F
Fast Food Nation - A shameful attempt at discrediting the meat industry. I wanted to go to Whataburger after seeing this abomination.
