A great one comes completely out of left field by wrestler Pros: It is simple, authentic and well-acted.
Cons: None that wouldn't sound like nitpicking. I don't struggle to understand why Up in the Air is a good film. After all, its three main stars, George Clooney, Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick, are lovable enough to sustain a film on their own. But here's the catch: Up in the ...

Boom Town by George_Chabot Pros: Clark Gable, Ensemble cast, Story, Humor, Historical value
Cons: A bit soap operatic Boom Town (1940) This movie stars a guy who is hardly remembered any more but was such a big star I can't believe he is so seldom mentioned today. Thankfully, the way they are releasing old movies on DVD is giving some ...

James Cameron Struts His Stuff in "Avatar" by arguablysamson Pros: Immensely rich...visually, artistically, and emotionally.
Cons: Long, with a militant environmentalist message that will irk some. In Avatar, James Cameron has shown that his directorial brilliance is still where it used to be. There is gold to be had in the seemingly empty mines of science fiction. Cameron creates not only a story that will stay true to your heart, but also ...

‘THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA’ DOESN’T WEAR HOLLYWOOD WELL by kinglear Pros: Good performances. The jokes are funny. Meryl is a gem.
Cons: Terrible character development, cheap plot and ending. The Devil Wears Prada could have been a great film if it had not been cheapened by its unrealistic characterizations for the purpose of making its lead character a heroine. Director David Frankel’s film, The Devil Wears Prada is ...

Seriously Great Undersea Action! by vemartin Pros: Plausible script; great action sequences; outstanding supporting cast
Cons: Some scenes a little far-fetched I am a submariner, or should I say ex-submariner; I served 15 years of my live sailing onboard some of the U.S. Navy's finest (fast attack) grey ladies. So movies about submarines are always of interest to me; I love, love, love Hunt For Red ...

Golden or Spotlight which tunes your loon? by jackiechad Pros:
Lots of great cleaned but unedited toons Cons: Some poor episode choices, a few packaging nitpicks I wonder how many Looney Tunes shorts there are total. This is my second collection of 60 +/- and there are still plenty of good ones that I remember not included. This second set focuses on some of the characters that didn’t get a lot ...

Avatar is a visual triumph! by vabookworm87 Pros: Great graphics, decent acting, good storyline
Cons: Culturally demeaning My family and I went and saw the Avatar movie this past weekend. I have to say, Avatar certainly lived up to its $400 million budget! I was impressed by the computer graphics, which were definitely innovative. The acting was good, and I liked the ...

Don't Forget To Snuff The Candles... by coldsteel7 Pros: Nicole Kidman. Great acting, decent plot twists.
Cons: Loose ends left unfinished. Main character seems inconsistent. What kind of guy mail-orders women from Russia? Could it be the same kind of guy that would fall hopelessly in love with a woman even though they could not effectively communicate? Would it be the kind of guy who has Sucker written ...

4.5 stars. A smart script coupled with George Clooney at the top of his game. by rmurray847 Pros: Clooney and all the other actors. Intelligent script.
Cons: "Exploration" of current economy is not as probing or biting as many seem to think. George Clooney is NOT a great actor. Seriously, can you picture him pulling of Shakespeare or something like the character Daniel Plainview in THERE WILL BE BLOOD? That’s not in him…and based on the roles he selects, is not ...

"Far be it From Me to Talk You Out of Your Paranoia." by carstairs38 Pros: Pays off previous two seasons with fast moving plot and dynamic characters
Cons: A couple of off episodes, most noticably "Grey 17 is Missing" Back in the mid-90's Babylon 5 was something different for TV. In the day were each episode was a story unto itself, Babylon 5 set out to tell one unified story over the course of five seasons. Heck, even today, that's ...

Parody Of A Perfect Film, "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" Is No "Empire Strikes Back!" by wlswarts Pros: Funny, Moments of clever, Great DVD/Blu-Ray bonus features!
Cons: A lot of the humor falls flatter than in "Blue Harvest." Rather abruptly, fans who have been watching "Family Guy" learned about a little Christmas gift from the franchise: the second "Star Wars" parody! While the television release of the parody of "The Empire Strikes Back," entitled "Something, Something, ...

*Blu-ray Review* American Pie Presents: The Book Of Love by LuigiB Pros: Eugene Levy and a handful of other cameos liven the film up.
Cons: Unfortunately, Levy and the other cameo stars are only in it for about ten minutes. So, who wrote The Book Of Love? Well, according to the makers of American Pie Presents: The Book Of Love, the mighty tome was written by none other than Eugene Levy. And who could argue with that, really? After all, Eugene Levy is ...

*DVD Review* The Maiden Heist by LuigiB Pros: Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and William H. Macy -- together.
Cons: Alas, it's not as good as it should have been. You’d think that a caper comedy with three powerful leads such as Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and William H. Macy would make for some good times. Alas, The Maiden Heist presents itself as a comedy that you know is supposed to ...

*DVD Review* Death In The Garden (La Mort En Ce Jardin) by LuigiB Pros: One of Luis Buñuel's more obscure titles makes its way to DVD.
Cons: None, really (although it might not be as Buñuelian for some). I must confess that I really never expected to see a jungle drama from master surrealist Luis Buñuel. As it turns out, Senior Buñuel did make such a film in 1956, somewhere during his minimalist Mexican period. Although it is not as ...

*DVD Review* Far Cry (2008) by LuigiB Pros: Delightfully cheesy fun -- perfect for Movie Night!

In keeping up with their long and prestigious line of excellent Tin Box Sets, Disney has unleashed two new Walt Disney Treasures for collectors the world over to get all warm and fuzzy over. This time, though, the Tin Box Sets are black in color ...

Memories: A collection of dark Anime shorts. by yakkowarner Pros: Good stories, beautiful animation.
Cons: Magnetic rose is far from original. This is a series of 3 short anime films put together. It isn’t a feature length movie and each short film does have some flaws, but it is still a great DVD to own. The film was brought together by Katsuhiro Otomo. While it did have two ...

Bizarre Biology by steelcorpfilms Pros: Bizarre and amusing in some places.
Cons: Pretty predictable, some bad acting. Despite having not made a movie in 16 years, Frank Henenlotter doesn't seem to have lost a step. Bad Biology is just as deranged, weird and funny as any of his other 'B' movies. And by 'B' movies, I'm not talking about the quality of them. I'm talking ...

On the fence about "Up in the Air" by willzyx  Pros: Great cast
Cons: story could've been more original Jason Reitman has proven me a little wrong, for now. With the enormous popular success of his first two pictures, "Thank You for Smoking," and "Juno," I felt that Reitman had quickly become one of Hollywood's most overrated directors. I found the humor ...

The real drifter here is the plot by pyfr Pros: Watari makes a cool gangster. Fast-paced, bold in its direction, slightly nihilistic.
Cons: It took me longer than usual to figure out what was going on. As a long-time fan of Kinji Fukasaku's yakuza films, I recently figured it was time to step outside my comfort zone in order to answer the following question: do I like yakuza films in general, or am I just a Fukasaku fan? Because it's ...

Pay To Enter, Pray To Leave: 1981's The Funhouse by JiggyJay Pros: Cool setting, what you'd expect in a typical slasher film

Watching this movie was my least favorite life experience. by erykkafox Pros: It ends, eventually.
Cons: Everything before that. Lars von Trier has a message. It's something so powerful, so utterly Earth-shattering and eye-expanding... that he fails to convey it with Antichrist.That isn't to say that powerful messages can't be portrayed in cinema, and that isn't to ...
