Movie Notebook Score: 7.75/10

Recommendation: C - Selectively Recommended

Grade: ST - Watch if you can't Sleep

Notes:

Eccentrically intriguing and darkly emotional to the point of being creepy, Jack and the Cuckoo-clock Heart (2013) is an oxymoron for boringly-interesting for the blockbuster-loving movie-goer. Not really for kids but for young adults and adults. However, it is among the quality movies around cinemas right now.

Rated PG-13, 142 mins.

IMDB User Rating: 7.4

Metascore: 53/100 (User Score: 7.1)

Tomatometer: 53% Rotten (Audience 71%)

Movie Notebook Score: 7.95/10

Recommendation: B - Recommended

Grade: GT - Watch if you want to have a Good Time

Notes:

It's not debatable on how the delivery and chemistry of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone has become a good reason to follow The Amazing Spiderman 2 (2014). But despite the excellent cast and visuals, the screenplay falls short. It drags you to all directions and losses you around in the end. One of the best blockbuster movies recently though.

Grace of Monaco (2014)

Date seen: 28 June 2014

Rated PG, 103 mins

IMDB User Rating: 5.6

Metascore: 21/100 (User Score: No score yet)

Tomatometer: 10% Rotten (Audience: 74%)

Movie Notebook Score: 8.15/10

Recommendation: B - Recommended

Grade: GT - Watch if you want to have a Good Time

Notes:

Saved by an imeldific production design and its cast's strong performance from an dull and fragmented screenplay, Grace of Monaco (2014) will somehow satisfy its viewer. Though not really the level of The Queen (2006), The King's Speech (2010), and other royal biopics in terms of content; this still must be in your must-watch list.
