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.

Snowball Express (1972)

After watching Bullhead I needed a change of pace.  So I went for this '70s Disney flick about a father played by the always consistent Dean Jones who inherits a hotel resort in the Colorado Rockies.  So he quits his city job and uproots his family to the mountains with a scheme to start his own ski resort.   What a wacky good time and if you've ever fallen off a ski lift, you'll be rolling with laughter.   Sure there's some corny stuff in this family farce but that's the whole point.  Today I think we as a society have become too cynical and sophisticated for our own good.  We've forgotten that sometimes its lovely to just laugh and enjoy the goofy side of imagination. Grade: B+
