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.

Local Hero (1983) 3/27

This is one of those charming light comedies that hits all the right notes without being showy or in your face.  Peter Riegert plays Mac, a corporate buyer sent to Scotland to purchase a small town and its beach.  Burt Lancaster plays the millionaire and amateur Astronomer who sends Mac on his assignment, believing he is a Scot because of his nickname.  Mac arrives and is sweep up into their community and in the deal of their lifetimes.  Grade: A-
