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 Rite (2011)

Anthony Hopkins plays the Vatican's top Exorcists in a film supposedly based on true events from a book by Matt Baglio.  Director Mikael Hafstrom makes a beautiful looking film but the story is pretty boring.  Mr. Hopkins is the only part of this film worth watching and to be honest he's not even that good.   This film's main problem is with the skeptical priest played by Colin O'Donoghan who keeps seeing these extraordinary proofs that possession is real only to deny it over and over again.  I wish it had been as good as the trailer made it out to be.  Grade: B-.
