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.

Minnie and Moskowitz (1971)

This awkward and weird love story from John Cassavetes is a testament of his greatness.  Here he crafts a compelling narrative with two of the oddest characters I've seen in a film.  Brutally thrust into each other like a storm, Gena Rowlands and Seymour Cassel pop off the screen with their bold yet believable performances.  What a wonderful messy romance that everyone who believes in love should see and cherish, even if at times it reminds you how hard life can be.  Grade: A-
