ER - Season 9 by susidee34 Pros: casting remains tight, scripts are complete, continuity
Cons: none for me We are now up to ER - Season 9, with even more dramatic changes taking place. Many faces are still familiar but new ones always arrive, along with their problems and quirks. As always, there is a constant stream of guest stars on ER, along with ...

It's 20 Episodes Of The Lucy Show! Laugh With Lucy & Big Celebrities~ by jankp Pros: Lucy; Gale Godon; many celebrities; very amusing
Cons: a few episodes weren't hilarious; not as complete as another collection I didn't grow up with Lucille Ball's three television comedies (I Love Lucy, Here's Lucy, The Lucy Show) that spanned the 1950s and 1960s mostly. When I had cable and watched Nick at Nite I occasionally enjoyed watching episodes from the first show with ...

This is as boring now as it was then by brendan2 Pros: -
Cons: boring, bland, performances When I was a kid, I loved S.E. Hinton's novels, and I enjoyed (some more than others) the film adaptations of The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, and Tex. Even then, I didn't care for the movie That Was Then... This is ...

Needed More Than Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust by carstairs38 Pros: Voice work and animation echo the original well
Cons: Story echos the original too much I've got to admit, I have always been curious to see Disney's Return to Neverland. I mean, I have always loved Peter Pan. But the story looked a little too familiar to me, so I didn't rush out to ...

A Late, Great French Noir Starring Lino Ventura and Jean-Paul Belmondo by Stephen_Murray Pros: Lino Ventura, young Jean-Paul Belmondo; Ghislain Cloque's cinematography
Cons: too long Along with making a number of great Jean-Pierre Melville movies available on DVD (following restoration and theatrical re-released by Rialto), Criterion Editions has made a marvelous print of the first film directed by Claude Sautet (1924-200). Sautet ...

The Bored Identity by jsommersby Pros: Location shooting.
Cons: Bland hero; overly mechanical and enervating. In light of the awesome critical praise having been reaped upon the spy thriller The Bourne Identity by some reviewers I respect, I expected more going in than a routine, by-the-numbers spy thriller – which is exactly what I got. The film is ...

Re-Imagining Samurai Cinema: Takeshi Kitano's Zatoichi by Mike_Bracken Pros: Kitano is fantastic in front of and behind the camera.
Cons: The CG gore looks fake and I missed Joe Hisaishi's classic soundtrack compositions. Most critics tend to describe Takeshi Kitano's eleventh film as something of a departure for the filmmaker. I suppose, in a way, it is-most western audiences seem to only be familiar with Kitano's stoically violent yakuza (Japanese gangster) movies and ...

Diary of a German Housewife in a Sink of Despond by Stephen_Murray Pros: cast
Cons: depressing and tedious Watching it, I thought that "Angst vor der Angst" (Fear of Fear, 1975, written and directed by Rainer Maria Fassbinder) had the conventional camera setups of a TV movie, and, in fact learned that it was shot as one (as was the supposed Fassbinder ...

Growing Up Black in the "Rust Belt" by Stephen_Murray Pros: S. Epatha Merkerson, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, music
Cons: none for me I remembered many of the characters from Ruben Santiago-Hudson's play "Lackawanna Blues" in which (in 2002) I saw him play all twenty-one parts. The play and the film made of it are his memoirs of the boardinghouse-keeper who was his surrogate mother, ...

J. Michael McCarthy's Fun and Thoroughly Unique SORE LOSERS by xxxxer Pros: A twisted, completely insane flick that's enjoyable across the board
Cons: Not designed for the overly serious audience Through the years, I've happened upon some pretty strange pieces of cinema. Most of these I can trace back to the first time I saw Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man, which at the time was (and still is) one of the strangest films I've ...

Witness The Heartbeat Of The Marine Corps by coldsteel7 Pros: Excellent attention to detail. Moving. True story. Powerful writing. Compelling imagery.
Cons: A couple of bumpy transitions, redundant imagery seemed to be used as filler. Anyone who has seen Platoon has witnessed the gritty exterior personality of the Marine Corps Drill Instructor. That depiction was eerily accurate. Taking Chance takes an equally eerie look inside the soft spot that Marines ...

The Life and Work of Annie Sprinkle: A HERSTORY OF PORN by xxxxer Pros: A fascinating look at the career of one of porn's most adventurous performers
Cons: Quite a bit of downright transgressive footage; film has a specified audience I first became aware of Annie Sprinkle through her numerous appearances on Al Goldstein's notorious NYC cable access program Midnight Blue and was somehow enamored by her apparent willingness to do just about anything sexual. Having seen her ...

One Singular Sensation of a Documentary by quasar Pros: dancing, really see the audition process, clips of original, excellent commentary track, hear original tapes
Cons: casting for some characters not included or only minimally included I love live theater, but seeing a show is a treat - if I'm lucky I manage to see two or three a year. Thus, most of the time I have to get by on movies, cast albums, documentaries, and concerts. My most recent find in this area is Every Little ...

Sukisyo: I like what I like, so deal with it. by rmthunter Pros: A funny, dramatic and well executed BL anime.

The Most Violent Movie Ever Made? by truckturner Pros: ‘Ultra violence’, Siu-Wong Fan, outrageousness
Cons: 99.9% of you will hate this film passionately. Warning: Due to the nature of this film, descriptions of exceptionally violent happenings are to follow. It is also likely that some (censored) profanity will be used, though for no legitimate reason whatsoever. It’s just one of those ...

Alien vs Predator - how do you ruin this concept? by KAR120C Pros: hmmmm, let me think....still thinking....
Cons: Lame sci-fi and science errors, poor story ruins good concept. I have really got to stop second guessing Epinions reviewers! Why bother viewing a movie which garners a mere 2 ½ stars on Epinions? Call me a glutton for punishment, but I just had to watch Alien vs. Predator, partly because I never ...

Cons: Bad lighting, hokey dialogue, mostly stiff acting, silly writing. unconvincing monster... did I forget anything? Our story begins with a couple parked in a place called “Satan's Hollow.” Their playful banter and necking is briefly interrupted while they listen to a radio report that a fireball of unknown nature has crashed nearby. As the necking ...
