Snow White and the Huntsman. Viewed 10/24/2012 on Blu-Ray
I didn't know what to expect here, but I'd heard good things. It didn't really follow the fairy tale I remember, so it was a lot better. B
 


Battleship. Viewed 9/27/2012 on Blu-Ray
I'll be honest, I didn't have high hopes for this one, but I found it quite entertaining. There's some good action, a little bit of comedy, acting is okay.  B-



Men In Black 3. Viewed 7/22/2012 in Cheap Theater
A good sci-fi story and some really good comedy. Will Smith was pretty darn good too. B+



Apollo 18. Viewed 7/15/2012 on Blu-Ray
A found footage movie combined with a conspiracy theory. It was mildly entertaining and not scary at all. C



Friends with Benefits. Viewed 7/8/2012 on Blu-Ray
That is weird, two consecutive Justin Timberlake movies, but i got this one because I love Mila Kunis. There was a butt shot of Mila (I'm thinking body double) and the gay Woody Harrelson was hilarious, other than that it was a definite chick flick. C-



In Time. Viewed 7/7/2012 on Blu-Ray
I love Sci-Fi, especially this one, it was kind of like a Robin Hood of the future. This was a very  interesting take on the concept of immortality and time. B



Ted. Viewed 7/5/2012 in Theater
Ted was pretty much non-stop laughing. I thought the acting was pretty good to for a comedy. B+
 

Act of Valor. Viewed 7/4/2012 on Blu-Ray
The action in this one was pretty intense. There were also some very thought provoking scenes. B-


The Sitter. Viewed 7/4/2012 on Blu-Ray
It was funny, but not outright hilarious. It was good for a relaxing evening. C+


Chronicle. Viewed 7/3/2012 on Blu-Ray
I didn't think there was a whole lot to the story. The premise and effects were pretty cool though. C



Your Highness. Viewed 6/10/2012 on Blu-Ray
This movie was pretty funny. Definitely not a family movie, so perfect for me. C


Captain America: The First Avenger. Viewed 6/10/2012 on Blu-Ray 
It was okay. I thought the very beginning and the end were quite interesting. C+


The Hunger Games. Viewed 6/4/2012 in Theater.
Not as good as the book. However, the book was fricking AMAZING. B (Book is A+ for reference)



Letter Grade scale:

A+ = Absolutely amazing, epic, superb. Acting is top notch. Plot grabs you and doesn't let go.

A = Almost as good A+, but just not quite as memorable.

A- = Very entertaining, would definitely pay theater money to see it.

B+ = Almost definitely worthy of theater money.

B = Probably worthy of theater money.

B- = we're starting to get borderline on whether or not I would feel watching in the theater is worth it.

C+ = Just a little better than average, glad I saw it, but also glad I didn't pay theater money, unless it was the   cheap seats.

C = Average. And this is like high like high school, a C means you didn't try very hard, or at all.

C- = definitely rent. do not pay eight plus dollars to see this.

D+ = Well it wasn't a total waste of 2 hours but close.

D = Probably not even worth your time.

D- = under no circumstances should you pay to watch this movie. If it's on T.V. Saturday afternoon, maybe.

F = I couldn't finish watching it.
