Righting History's Wrongs..."Woman In Gold"

Woman In Gold (2015)

Rated PG-13

Starring Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Bruhl, Katie Holmes, Tatiana Maslany, Max Irons

Directed by Simon Curtis

The Story:

Maria Altmann (Mirren) decides after the passing of her sister that she should attempt to reclaim a painting of her aunt that was stolen by the Nazis during WWII. The problem, it's been hanging in a museum in Austria for decades, and they aren't interested in giving it back. She enlists a young lawyer (Reynolds) to help her. The two set out on an uphill battle to reclaim what was stolen from them decades earlier.

Here's a sweet little movie that's base on a true story.

Through flashbacks that show Maria (Maslany) attempting to escape the Nazis after they invaded Austria, the viewers get to know her and her family's story.

That the portrait of her aunt was stolen by the Nazis is criminal, what the Austrian government did with the painting in the decades that followed was genuinely unforgivable as well.

That's where this movie shines, in the David vs. Goliath scenarios where they take on the Austrian government to correct this historical inaccuracy.

I wanted to like this movie more than I did, but the pacing of the film is a bit on the slow side, which is saying something for a movie that goes past the 90 minute mark of most movies but falls short of the 2 hour running time for most dramas.

Still an enjoyable movie to say the least, and the performances are very well done, which is always the case with Mirren. It's nice, if odd, to see Reynolds as a bit of a timid nerd who doesn't have the snarky comebacks that we've come to expect of Ryan Reynolds, or any character played by Ryan Reynolds.

Plus, I know I badmouth other films for excessive use of language which makes movies that could be PG-13 into R rated films, so I would like to commend the writers/director here for dropping only 1 f-bomb in the movie, and when it hits, it resonates. You can feel the frustration of the character.

That's how language is supposed to work, and shows how effective a good script that doesn't consider profanity as necessary as nouns and verbs can be.

Bravo.

Final Grade: B

Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police

Can't Stand Losing You: Surviving The Police (2012)

Documentary

Starring Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland, Sting

Directed by Andy Grieve, Laura Lazin

The Story:

Follow along as Andy Summers narrates excerpts from his memoir about his life before, during, and after The Police. The story is told between flashbacks of old archival footage and that of the 2007-2008 reunion tour that celebrated the 30th anniversary of The Police.

It is interesting as you can see Sting's rise to fame, and 30 years later, he's still the star of the show, much to the consternation of his fellow band-mates. Sting doesn't want The Police to continue, the band is over, no discussion, no give and take with his partners.

It's all well and good, but Summers delivery is very monotone and has no inflection of life, humor, or anything to it.

It's as if he's reading his book, but thankfully it fades to music to wake you back up.

Summers love for photography drives the second half of the proceedings as his photographs that he took while on tour with the band during their heyday are now hanging in a gallery on display.

Overall for the enjoyment of this documentary, your mileage will vary depending on how much of a fan of The Police you were.

They pretty much broke up as I was changing my radio station from country to Rock and Roll, so nothing new came out from them once I started listening.  They grabbed the beginning of the MTV revolution only to disband and never rise to greater heights.

In theory, if not for ego, they could still be together ala U2, rocking into the new millennium.

Ah well, chalk it up to what might have been.

Final Grade: C

An Ode To 80s Cheese..."Kung Fury"

Kung Fury (2015)

Not Rated

Starring David Sandberg

Written by David Sandberg

Produced by David Sandberg

Directed by David Sandberg

Funded by over 17,000 Kickstarter backers.


The Story:

In 1985, a ninja supercop, Kung Fury (Sandberg) realizes he must go back in the past to defeat his greatest adversary, Adolf Hitler (Jorma Taccone).

However, Fury will likely need the help of dinosaurs, barbarian queens and maybe even Thor himself before this adventure is over.

Welcome back to 1985 and the cheesiest action spectacular you've seen in over 30 years.

And, it's all intentional!

Just when you think it couldn't get any better, the movie adjusts the tracking for you! What the heck? I haven't had to mess with tracking in over 20 years.

A Swedish production, the movie is in English so you won't have any trouble figuring out what is going on, and at a brisk 30 minutes, the action moves fast and furious.

You'll laugh, you'll groan, at the end, you'll want a sequel.

For an intentional B movie, Sandberg hit it out of the park.

Final Grade: Solid B.

You'll Age Faster Than She Does..."The Age of Adaline"

The Age of Adaline (2015)

Rated PG-13

Starring Blake Lively, Michiel Huisman, Ellen Burstyn, Harrison Ford, Kathy Baker, Anthony Ingruber

Directed by Lee Toland Krieger

The Story:

Adaline (Lively) is a lovely lady after the turn of the century who has it all, a good husband, a beautiful baby, and then she loses her husband in an accident. Moving on without him, one night she is involved in a freak accident that leaves her with the inability to age. She watches as her daughter (Burstyn) grows up and older than she is. She moves every few years to avoid running into people who knew her previously and having to explain why she looks so young. Then, at a New Year's Eve party she meets Ellis (Huisman) who is going to give her a second chance at love and life.

But no, we aren't done just yet! You see, once upon a time, Adaline had dared to love again when she met William (Ingruber). However, she left without a trace, and he was heartbroken. Yet William would age as most people do, and now a much older William (Ford) is celebrating his wedding anniversary with his wife (Baker) when their son, Ellis comes home bringing his new girlfriend with him.

Imagine William's surprise to see his lost love standing right before his very eyes.

So where to begin, the good news, or the bad news?

We'll start with the good news.

The cast, from top to bottom, does a great job. Believable, sincere, they never once let you doubt that this tale is unfolding before you and their emotions will help carry your emotions through to the very end of the film.

The bad news, the movie is slow in the pacing as it drags out near the two hour mark.

So one of two things should have happened, add a little to the movie to take it to the full 2 hours (or beyond) by fleshing out a little more of the story and characters which might have given the story a bit more zip and momentum and tighten up a few of the plot pieces, or trim some of the scenes down or eliminate a bit of the fluff to make it move at a quicker pace.

It is the 21st Century after all, and audiences aren't dumb, and you give away half the movie in trailers these days, so let's pick up the pace and get to it.

In other bits of good news for the film, if the world was waiting for the next Harrison Ford, well you could do worse than Anthony Ingruber. While not the spitting image, he's got the physical frame and the voice range of the man who would be Indy or Han. Let's see what the future holds for this guy.

So know going in that it's going to take a bit to get the ball rolling, but the last half of the movie delivers.

Final Grade: C+

Taxi For Hire..."Take Me Home"

Take Me Home (2011)

Rated PG-13

Starring Sam Jaeger, Amber Jaeger, Victor Garber, Lin Shaye, Christine Rose

Written and Directed by Sam Jaeger

The Story:

Thom (Jaeger), a down on his luck photographer moonlights as an illegal cabbie to try and keep the bill collectors at bay. He's having a really, really bad day when he is flagged down by Claire (Jaeger) whose day may be equally awful. She tells him to "just drive", and he does. When she wakes up, she's far from New York and heading to Ohio. At that point, she hires him to just take her to California so she can see her dad.  The adventure continues!

Not bad, not bad at all.

It's a very slow build road trip/romantic comedy, but without the romance.

See, Claire's married, and while not happily, she's still got a ring on her finger.

That's not to say that things can't change over the course of 3000 miles, but you've got the usual they hate each other at first and by the end when it's time to go their separate ways, they've come to care for one another a great deal.

Jaeger (Sam) does a really nice job of making the production look first rate, and I have little concern with this movie than I do with a lot of films that are written and directed by the same person, not to mention starring that same person, and their wife!

That doesn't happen every day, but this is a pleasant little road trip that's worth the time to take.

Available now, streaming on both Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Final Grade: B-

Never Doubt The Persistence Of A "Little Boy"

Little Boy (2015)

Rated PG-13

Starring Jakob Salvati, Emily Watson, Kevin James, Michael Rapaport, Tom Wilkinson, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa,

Written and Directed by Alejandro Monteverde

The Story:

Pepper (Salvati) loves his dad (Rappaport) so very much. The two are inseparable, which helps Pepper because the poor kid is kind of not really growing, thus earning him the "Little Boy" nickname. When his dad gets drafted into the war, Little Boy is alone and wants nothing more than his dad to come home. He consults the local priest (Wilkinson) on what he should do to bring his dad home safely, and he gives him a "to-do" list which centers around a local Japanese-American (Tagawa) who is facing the brunt of racism from the locals.  Naturally, all of these stories are going to converge before the movie comes to a close.

Handkerchiefs are optional.

Based, somewhat, on a true story, those of you that remember your history will know what is and isn't true.

For the non-history buff, watch the willingness of a boy believe that if he does the right thing, God will bring his daddy home safe from WWII.

And watch the worry in Wilkinson's eyes when he realizes that this boy has more than the faith of a mustard seed, but what if even that is not enough?

The only thing that seems slightly off in the movie is the Doctor (Kevin James) who is all kinds of creepy.  It's hard to see James in a serious role as you almost expect to see him say or do something funny, but he's trying to branch out into a serious role, and that's fine.  But with the moustache and creepy overtures towards the mom (Watson), like I said... :: shudder :: stranger danger alert time!

:)

Still, a pretty decent flick that's worth a viewing.

Final Grade: B

It's Enough To Make Me Cancel Netflix..."Mr. Peabody and Sherman"

Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2015)

TV-Y7

Starring Chris Parnell, Max Charles

The Story:

Now that everyone knows about the WABAC machine, Mr. Peabody (Parnell) and his boy Sherman (Charles) decide to use the device to host a talk show right from their apartment.

Seriously.

For the record, I found the original Mr. Peabody and Sherman pieces from Rocky & Bullwinkle to be mildly amusing at best, but more often than not, never really cared for them. I found it to be the weakest link in the show.

I was pleasantly surprised with how well the movie was made, so I had moderate hopes of a continued success with the new Netflix original.

Where do I begin with this train-wreck?

We'll start with the good: Parnell does an admirable job filling in for Ty Burrell as the voice of Mr. Peabody and Charles returns to have some fun as Sherman.

And there you have it.

The bad: Everything else.

The art style is straight out of the bad 90s cartoons from Cartoon Network that I refused to let my kids watch because they were hard on the eyes, and painful to the brain. Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed, Edd and Eddie, Ren & Stimpy (I know, different network) and countless others with a "style" that they happily called their own which looked rough, unfinished, and just plain bad.

It returns with a vengeance in Peabody. Watch Sherman and see how many times his teeth change as his face changes. It's horribly pathetic, and a style I am not a fan of.

These were the shows that I forbid my kids to watch as they were growing up.

Yes, I know, I'm an evil parent.

Instead, I forced them to watch Looney Tunes and classic Hanna Barbera offerings so they could see what good animation with a great script could be like, and I didn't have to suffer while their brains were turned to mush.

Speaking of great scripts, the writing team for this show boasts 6 writers. Apparently none of them know or get humor because I think in the 23 minutes of the first show, I laughed once.

Once.

And I don't even think it was at the groan-inducing "moral of the story" pun you come to expect in a Peabody cartoon.

I think it was more of a pity, "I can't believe someone paid to have this made" laugh at the absurdity of it all.

If you want a talk show with cartoon characters that is drawn well and actually funny, go find episodes of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.

That was comedy gold.

This is fool's gold.

And I won't be fooled into watching another episode.

Ever.

Final Grade: F

Lukewarm Pursuit Would Be The Better Title..."Hot Pursuit"

Hot Pursuit (2015)

Rated PG-13

Starring Reese Witherspoon, Sophia Vergara

Directed by Anne Fletcher

The Story:

Officer Cooper (Witherspoon) is a by-the-book cop trying to live up the legend of her father. However she's a little too by-the-book sometimes, and it often comes back to bite her on the backside. When she is selected to escort a couple into witness protection, everything falls apart when the house is attacked by masked assailants who kill just about everyone except Cooper and Daniella (Vergara). Now the two must attempt to make it to safety, but that's going to be difficult when the bad guys and crooked cops are closing in fast. They've got nobody to trust, not even each other.

It's hard to say that this is a comeback vehicle for Witherspoon, because she's never really left the movies.

It is the first time she's done a comedy in a long time though, and it's good to see her back.

However, something just never quite clicks in this movie, whether it's her character or the lack of chemistry between the leads, or the fact that Vergara is simply a really bad actress.

I'm sure her fans of Modern Family will take umbrage with that statement, but since I don't watch that show, this is the first time I've seen her in anything that I can recall, and I am unimpressed.

Oh wait, I've actually seen a few other things that she's been in, where she was a background actress and not carrying half the movie.

Yes. That would explain why she's not that memorable to me, because she is better as a supporting character than a star.

Or maybe if they both would have been given stronger material, my opinion on this movie would be different.

A few laughs, but nothing spectacular to add to the buddy comedy genre.

Final Grade: C

Something Delicious To Be Had After Taking "The Hundred Foot Journey"

The Hundred Foot Journey (2014)

Rated PG

Starring Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal, Charlotte Le Bon,

Directed by Lasse Hallstrom

The Story:

After a tragic accident in India, the Kadam family move to France, finally settling in a small village and opening up an Indian restaurant. The problem? 100 feet away is Madame Mallory's (Mirren) restaurant, and she doesn't take kindly to competition. 

So that's the overall story, but the major focus is on Hassan (Dayal) and his quest to become something greater than just a cook for his father (Puri) at the restaurant.

This is the latest in Lasse Hallstrom's arsenal of quiet movies that tell a great story and you're glad to have been along for the ride.

Drama. Comedy. Life.

He continues to weave them all together in small movies where everything happens, and nothing happens, all seemingly at the same time, yet all of the characters grow and change right before your eyes.

Puri threatens to steal the movie away from everyone when he's onscreen, he's simply fun and bigger than life, yet plays the dad in a restrained, magical way that keeps you glued to his performance. His feud with Mirren is amusing and sweet.

Dayal is wonderful as the chef who wants to be something bigger, and then has to decide what he truly wants to be once he achieves what he set out to be.

Overall, you won't really go wrong with choosing to take this journey.

Final Grade: B-

The Entire Movie Takes Place In "The Kitchen"

The Kitchen (2012)

Rated R

Starring Laura Prepon, Bryan Greenberg, Dreama Walker, Matt Bush, Tate Ellington,

Directed by Ishai Setton

The Story:

Jennifer (Prepon) is preparing to celebrate her 30th birthday. However when she finds out her boyfriend (Greenberg) has been cheating on her, she really could care less about the entire day. The efforts of her sister (Walker) and friends to cheer her up will all take place in...

The Kitchen.

Okay, so a few times the action of the film takes place just outside of the kitchen, but if you can't view it from that location, then it totally happens offscreen.

There are amusing parts sprinkled throughout, but really, it's a talking heads type of comedy where people just talk and have conflict throughout the night.

Truly, nothing happens.

I kept debating on whether to pop this one out, or hold on to see if the pace ever really picked up.

Nope, never did.

Great cast, by the way, as they all handled the roles they were given and made the movie more watchable than it should be.

But otherwise, utterly forgettable.

Streaming available on Amazon Prime

Final Grade: C-

Is It Time For Cameron Crowe To Say "Aloha" ?

Aloha (2015)

Rated PG-13

Starring Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, John Krasinski, Danny McBride, Alec Baldwin, Bill Murray, Danielle Rose Russell

Written and Directed by Cameron Crowe

The Story:

Brian (Cooper) a former military contractor that had been left for dead returns to Hawaii to work alongside some former co-workers (McBride & Baldwin) and the former love of his life (McAdams). The Air Force assigns him a liaison (Stone) to keep him out of trouble as they prepare to launch a satellite for a billionaire (Murray). Will Brian have his edge back, or are familiar surroundings going to overwhelm his sense of duty?

I think the only thing I heard about this film was that there were complaints about having Emma Stone portraying someone who is supposed to be part Hawaiian. Apparently complaining about things is the new 21st century pastime.  Then the film pretty much tanked at the box office.

Is it game over for Cameron Crowe as a writer/director?

Not so fast.

This is hardly the worst film of his career. Yet that was seemingly the buzz that surrounded this film. Sorry, but that honor belongs to Elizabethtown (which I've seen) or possibly Vanilla Sky (which I haven't).

This is a fine ensemble cast that does their best with what they are given. It's certainly watchable, and with the amount of comic actors in this film, the humor is subdued as Crowe was not out to make a "comedy" but a slice of real life and capture the humor within.

The best part is near the end between Brian and Grace (Russell) that says so much with no dialogue at all. Heartwarming and tender, it lifts the rest of the movie right up with it.

Final Grade: C+

A Little Charm Is Found "Where Hope Grows"

Where Hope Grows (2014)

Rated PG-13

Starring Kristoffer Polaha, David DeSanctis, McKaley Miller, Brooke Burns, William Zabka, Danica McKellar,

Written and Directed by Chris Dowling

The Story:

Mitch (Polaha) is a former ballplayer raising a teenage daughter (Miller) and watching his world hit rock bottom through the bottom of a bottle. Then one day he meets a young grocery clerk named Produce (DeSanctis) and his world is changed. Produce has Down Syndrome, but Mitch begins to realize that he's not that different after all, and slowly, he begins to claw his way back to a better life.

Originally the film was to be called Produce, but they opted to change the title before release. 

The big news coming off this film was it was to star DeSanctis, who actually has Down Syndrome to play someone with Down Syndrome.  That's right, no real actor faking the part, they were going to get the real deal. And for his first starring role, you'd assume that he's been doing this forever.

This movie though, drove me nuts as I watched it.

I wanted to really, really like it.

However, much of the plot, and some situations the cast finds themselves in seemed quite contrived for the sake of getting from point A to point B and they weren't exactly necessary.

The entire story with Mitch's friend Milton (Zabka) is so forced, it felt like much of the movie was crammed in because they forgot where they were going with the story.  His wife (McKellar) having an affair? Seems like a big stretch, but darn it, we've got to tip the dominoes.

The direction by Dowling also felt very amateurish in many spots. The height difference between the two leads is obvious, so if you're having a two shot, you should either pull back and get them both in frame or set up the actors differently. Panning and barely getting a head of your actor in frame just screams "budget film"!

I was hoping for more, so I'll average out the performance from a great cast who tried to make the most of what they were given by a writer/director who shows promise but needs to tighten things up a bit.

Final Grade: C+

Nothing Much Happens "5 Flights Up"

5 Flights Up (2014)

Rated PG-13

Starring Morgan Freeman, Diane Keaton, Cynthia Nixon

Directed by Richard Loncraine

The Story: 

Alex and Ruth Carver (Freeman & Keaton) have lived in their apartment for decades. However, they're getting older, and the prospect of marathoning those 5 flights of stairs is becoming more daunting with each passing year. With the help of a realtor friend (Nixon) they're going to put their apartment up for sale and hopefully find a new one that they like as well.

Yep, that's it.

There's your movie.

There are also 2 additional subplots that provide the drama and tension of the movie:

Their dog needs surgery and may not survive!
There is a possible terrorist in town who is making the apartment selling/buying experience harder than it should be.

We are treated to a series of flashbacks of Alex and Ruth when they are just starting out to give some background to their life together, and how they made that apartment their home.

But essentially, nothing really happens throughout the movie.

If not for Morgan Freeman who gets to do some voice-over narration (The Manhattan Redemption!) to the story, this film would have a much lower rating.

Freeman makes everything better.

Final Grade: C

Rewriting History..."Exodus: Gods and Kings"

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

Rated PG-13

Starring Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, John Turturro, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Aaron Paul

Directed by Ridley Scott

The Story:

This is the story of Moses (Bale) who was raised as a brother with Ramses (Edgerton) to rule Egypt. Soon Moses discovers that he's actually Jewish and is reluctantly thrust into the role of leader and savior in an attempt to free them from bondage.

Well, it was better than Noah!

I think the problem with adapting stories from the Bible is the fear of upsetting anyone.

If it's too religious, people that hate religion won't come see your movie.

If it's too unfaithful, the religious faithful will criticize your movie and call it awful.

Trying to straddle the line and make it appease everyone though simply makes an average film.

That's what we have here.

It looks great, and has all the spectacle that you expect from Ridley Scott, but it skips over the heart of the story.

Moses doesn't speak with God, he argues with a visage of a child.

His brother Aaron, a mere afterthought in the whole tale.

The plagues brought against Egypt, they look amazing.

But they lack the punch of why they are happening.

They simply start happening, one after the other, and Moses takes credit about halfway through that it will only get worse.

: /

To his credit, Scott does capture the torment and heartbreak of a nation that awakens to find the final plague unleashed and it truly feels miserable.

I don't know, it just seems if Scott had been more insistent on connecting the dots in his story, there would have been more oomph to it.

But like I said, you can't please everyone, every time.

And Ridley Scott has made enough good movies already, he gets by with average sometimes.

Final Grade: C

"Art And Craft" Sounds Fun, But Was Ultimately Boring

Art and Craft (2014)

Not Rated

Starring Mark Landis, John Gapper

Directed by Sam Cullman, Jennifer Grausman and Mark Becker

The Story:

Mark Landis is an excellent painter. He's so good, he's spent the last 30 years bequeathing master forgeries to libraries, museums and galleries over the years.  John Gapper is one of the curators that was duped. He's on a quest to expose Landis for the fraud that he is.

Sounds like a pretty cool con caper, right?

I thought so too!

I mean, just looking at the poster, it harkens back to Catch Me If You Can and this true story seemed like it had all the elements for a can't miss documentary.

Boy, was I wrong.

The material is served up with no charisma whatsoever.

It doesn't help that Landis himself is a quiet, unassuming guy.  The only thing he's ever done wrong is give away paintings that aren't real to museums, libraries, etc. over the last 3 decades.

He never took a dime for anything, therefore, he has technically committed no crimes.

Aside from Gapper, nobody else seemed to care.

After less than 20 minutes, I realized I didn't really care either, and clicked this one off and sent it back.

It's streaming on Amazon Prime if you want to give it a try.

Final Grade: D

Set Those DVRs..."Welcome To Me"

Welcome to Me (2015)

Rated R

Starring Kristen Wiig, Linda Cardellini, Joan Cusack, James Marsden, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Robbins,

Directed by Shira Piven

The Story:

Alice Klieg (Wiig) has issues. When she ends up winning the lottery, she decides to take her winnings to a television station that makes infomercials and create her own talk show. The show is a trainwreck, yet begins to draw an audience. As her new form of therapy, Alice is about to bare her soul to the world and maybe learn a few things about herself in the process.

I don't know, this is one of those movies that is impossible to describe accurately.

A dramedy, to be sure, Alice suffers from borderline personality disorder.  Apparently this is a real thing that a lot of people suffer from, and reading some reviews around the internet, apparently Wiig nails the disorder perfectly and did indeed provide some therapeutic relief for many people who were able to go, "that...that's me!"

The supporting cast, and it is a great one, do just that, they support Wiig fully. While at first the station is eager to get their hands on the money, most of the workers there end up caring a great deal about Alice as her life unspools before them.

Get ready for a quirky experience.

Available to stream on Netflix as of this writing.

Final Grade: C+

It's Franchise Time! "The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel"

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015)

Rated PG

Starring Dev Patel, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Tina Desai, Celia Imrie, Tasmin Greig, Richard Gere,

Written and Directed by John Madden

The Story:

Sonny (Patel) returns with his sights set on marrying Sunaina (Imrie) and expanding the hotel to a second location. Naturally, before he can get the kind of funding to be backed by a chain, they need to send an undercover inspector to the hotel to see what the Exotic Marigold is like. However when two guests arrive (Greig & Gere) mistaken identity ensues and Sonny runs the risk of losing everything, including the woman he loves.

And really, this is Sonny's movie.

Where he was the heart that held the first (and superior) Exotic Marigold together by weaving in and out of the stories of the retirees that came to his hotel to spend their golden years, his story now takes center stage and the rest of the cast is given a little to do, but nowhere near the substance they enjoyed in the first film.

The biggest conundrum, you want Sonny to succeed in both the hotel and the wedding, so the conflict they have to foist onto the story seems almost eye roll worthy. Sonny is too likeable and Sunaina too sweet for them not to be together, so you never really worry that the wedding could fall apart.

The question is simply how will Sonny get the other hotel, and you'll probably figure it out before he does.

Not as good as the first, but not a bad revisit with some old (ha!) friends.

My advice though, never put the words "Second Best" in your movie title.

You're simply asking for trouble at that point.

Final Grade: B-
