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.

Case 39 (2009)

You can see the mid-point twist a million miles away but this is still a fun little horror film.  Renee Zellweger plays a social worker assigned to check on a little girl whose parents lock her up.  Able to free her from her parents she takes custody only to learn there's more to this family's story.  Zellweger is just fine as the terrorized but strong heroine and I loved the small role that Ian McShane plays as a police detective.  Grade: B.
