Grade: B

Ok, This movie had some pretty brutal scenes. I mean, the opening sequence alone was a bloody massacre that was really only the tip of the ice burg of what was to come. The story line was ok, the acting was ok, but the action scenes, and the overall feel of the movie was great. Good watch. Anytime there is killing with swards it gets way more than a little messy!

Dark Comedy: Sunshine Cleaning 2008

Got a disturbingly gruesome murder scene that needs to be cleaned up? Well Sunshine Cleaning is the place to call. Due to her financial troubles, and her son's suspected (by school staff) special needs, Rose creates a highly specialized business, with the help of her sister Norah.

Grade: B+

This was a fascinating look into the life of a single mother, living her life the best she can, and trying to make a way for her and her son. The acting was great, and the unexpected situations the characters find themselves in leads to some pretty amusing scenes. If you're in the mood for something funny, but definitely on the dark side, this is the movie for you!
