My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

The Fighter (2010)

More than just a typical boxing movie, here David O. Russell delivers a triumph of a true story about the boxing Ward brothers bumpy climb to maturity.  The Academy might as well send Christian Bale and Melisse Leo their awards for best supporting acting because I don't know anyone else deserving.  They both completely transform into different people.  Everything about this film is special, even Mark Walhberg out does himself with a wonderful performance.   I was especially impressed by the look of the film.  Grade: A-.
