Drag Me To Hell

(The following review contains MINOR spoilers.)
Mitch’s Rating: 4 out of 5Sam Raimi’s latest effort, Drag Me To Hell is obviously a return to what made him a success – The Horror Comedy.

My Rating: A+Forget penguins. Forget parrots. Who cares about Bob Dylan. The BEST documentary of 2005– and perhaps of all time — belongs to Werner Herzog’s GRIZZLY MAN, beeeeeeeeeotches!

My Rating: C-It took me a while to figure out the proper dASH “letter rating calculation” to give this film.
