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 Madness of King George (1994)

While Nicholas Hytner's film of Alan Bennett's stage play is amazingly costumed and acted and filmed, there's something missing keeping it from really shining.   It's the story of King George III and what happens to him when he starts acting off his rocker.  Nigel Hawthorne and the rest of the cast are brilliant.  Grade: B.
