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.

Cigarette Burns (2005)

The great horror director John Carpenter directs this segment written by Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan from the Masters of Horror Series.   A film collector is hired by a rich guy (who happens to keep a captured angel in his house) to locate a rare lost film that is said to be magical.  Norman Reedus stars, that’s right the guy now famous for playing Daryl on The Walking Dead.   It’s a pretty trippy film and one of the best works in Carpenter’s later years.   It’s worth seeking out especially if you’re a fan of Carpenters.  B+
