A Quiet Place

Overall: 17 (Love It - Must See)
This movie was unique. I have not seen anything like it, and I loved it. 

Entertainment: 6 (Love It - Must See)
I was totally engaged with this movie from the moment it started though the end. It is not necessarily a happy story, but it manages to be optimistic and enjoyable to watch despite that.

Writing: 6 (Love It - Must See)
More a thriller than a horror movie, it is amazingly written and edited. Everything in the movie had a reason and a place. There was no fluff or waste, which made watching it feel fantastic. The only scene that really bothered me was where the kids were sinking into the grain as if it were quicksand. Having been raised on a 600-acre farm with a grain silo, I can tell you that people do not sink into grain like that.

Presentation: 5 (Strongly Like)

The visuals in the film were good. The acting was really good, particularly Emily Blunt who manages to make you really believe she is about to die--while delivering a baby and fighting off a monster.

Avengers: Infinity War

Overall: 15 (Strongly Like)
It is impressive that a movie with this many stars, moving pieces, and backstories can be so good. This would have been an easy movie to mess up, but Marvel managed to pull off another great movie.

Entertainment: 5 (Strongly Like)
Typical MCU, and that's a good thing. I feel like the MCU has become to this generation the equivalent of the Star Wars universe to my generation.

Writing: 5 (Strongly Like)
With so many characters, there were several that were completely non-essential. Despite that, the writing manages to weave everyone in without ruining them, while focusing down to a couple of key plots/sub-plots. There were some throw away lines and scenes that didn't add much, but they were probably necessary to keep the movie from getting too heavy.

The visuals in the film were good. I was particularly impressed with how real Thanos looked. A big purple alien is another one of those things that is easily made to look silly, but they didn't mess that up either.
