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.

Black Death (2010)

We need more films that take place during the dark ages.  It's a bleak period but there's so much potential for drama.  Here's a perfect example that argues for my case.  Eddie Redmayne starts as a young monk who volunteers to guide a band of witch hunters lead by the always reliable Sean Bean.  Marketed as a horror film, this drama is not.  Sure it's a dark film but the horror is implied not really the core of this story. There's some real evil at work and it's not witchcraft but human folly and manipulation.   Grade: B+.
