00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.510
Ben foster and Michael
Kane can't save Medieval

5
00:00:06.510 --> 00:00:08.580
the most expensive Czech film ever made.

6
00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:11.190
Reviewer Leigh Monson writes
that the blockbuster filmmaking

7
00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:12.750
falls well short of its ambitions

8
00:00:12.750 --> 00:00:14.490
taking what might have
been a brutal lesson

9
00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:17.160
in European history and reducing
it to a half baked morass

10
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:18.870
of hollow tropes and dull plotting.

11
00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:20.610
The film landed a D plus.

12
00:00:20.610 --> 00:00:22.440
House of darkness was not well received

13
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:23.640
by reviewer Leigh Monson

14
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:25.290
who calls the film barely a movie,

15
00:00:25.290 --> 00:00:27.870
adding that it exists in a
strange and equally fatal

16
00:00:27.870 --> 00:00:30.750
no man's lane of being
simultaneously under and overwritten.

17
00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:32.730
The film received a C minus.

18
00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:35.370
Disney takes another swaying
at a live action adaptation

19
00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:37.620
of one of its classics
and strikes out again,

20
00:00:37.620 --> 00:00:40.680
not even all around good dude
Tom Hanks can save the film

21
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:42.510
and reviewer Luke Y. Thompson writes

22
00:00:42.510 --> 00:00:44.520
that the people who made
the creative choices here

23
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:45.840
have more wood for brains

24
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.400
than the character they brought to life.

25
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.380
The movie received a C minus.

26
00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:51.300
Reviewer Luke Y. Thompson writes that

27
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:52.980
About Fate is surprisingly charming

28
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:54.060
and praises the chemistry

29
00:00:54.060 --> 00:00:56.820
between the films leads Emma
Roberts and Thomas Mann.

30
00:00:56.820 --> 00:00:59.310
The romcom received a B minus.

31
00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:01.350
Zach Kruger's horror thriller Barbarian

32
00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:03.090
is the best reviewed film of the week.

33
00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:04.500
Reviewer Leigh Monson calls it

34
00:01:04.500 --> 00:01:06.210
one of the best horror movies of the year

35
00:01:06.210 --> 00:01:08.580
and writes that Barbarian
stories serves up some musty,

36
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:09.780
white knuckle mysteries.

37
00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:11.262
The film received a B plus.

38
00:01:11.262 --> 00:01:13.762
