Judy Collins - Live at Wolftrap
I've Looked at Live at Wolf Trap from Both Sides Now and Prefer the CD
by quasar
Pros: "City of New Orleans" works, Collins obviously enjoys herself, livelier than the CD
Cons: different from the companion CD, Irish music doesn't really work, odd commentary track
I've been listening to the Judy Collins album Live at Wolf Trap for several years now without realizing the recorded concert was also available on DVD. While not perfect, I like the CD so I ...

Happening
There's something happening here...but it's pretty hard to care about
by arindam_bNew Member
Pros: Workable premise, a couple of visceral scenes
Cons: Poorly paced, badly scripted characters (especially leads), leaves no impact on the viewer
M. Night Shyamalan seems to have become an odd sort of phenomenon: people keep garnering heaps of attention on his releases, but more and more with the sole purpose of pointing out how bad they are, usually referencing earlier works and lamenting a ...

It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie
It's Really Not Easy Being Green Recently
by Goatius
Pros: Fun Muppet bits, nice throwbacks, Arquette, Goldberg, Cusack very good
Cons: Sad character choices for Kermit, aging very badly, corny
Things have changed a lot for the Muppets over the last twenty years, and woe is us because of it.  The rights to the brand bounced around for a number of years, spawning a variety of forgettable films and half-hearted promotions that did little to ...

American Gangster
American Gangster-Change we can believe in?
by tiger62x
Pros: Excellent acting, directing, and screenwriting.
Cons: Maybe 20 minutes too long, and live characters are not very good role models.
Ok, don't take offense, before there was the "Change Guy", there was Frank Lucas, who did really change things.  In the dope world that is.  Now for more serious fodder.  I don't really like to read other reviews about a movie ...

Pros: Donna - clearly the best companion in a very, very long time.
Cons: David's leaving the show! Noooooooooooooo!!!! *sobs*
It's with just a little twinge of sadness that I crack open my season four Doctor Who set. While executive producer Russell T. Davies and series star David Tennant still have a handful of episodes to go in their tenure until the all new cast and ...

Drôle de drame ou L'étrange aventure du Docteur Molyneux
A French farce of disguises and murders
by Stephen_Murray
Pros: major French stars from diverse traditions play well together
Cons: slow start
Besides being my favorite 20th-century French poet, Jacques Prévert (1900-1977) wrote screenplays for the great noirs of the late-1930s "Le Quai de Brumes"(Port of Shadows) and "Le Jour se lève" ...

Pros: King Kong, Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot, Special F/X, Score
Cons: This movie was ahead of its time and needs more viewers
King Kong (1933) Unlike most of the monster movies of the 1930's, King Kong was not made by Universal but by RKO and it saved the studio from bankruptcy. Whether King Kong is a monster movie or not, I've always lumped it in ...

Orphanage
Something truly rare, an artfully done scary movie (I need more than 15 words)

Pros: Acting, plot, pacing, art direction, cinematography
Cons: Some of the imagery is heavy handed and only a little heavy handed
How do you make a scary movie from standard materials but make it new?  Use a true art director, a cinematographer who costs more but brings much more to the table, and brilliant actors.  In short, actually give a crap. Laura (Belen ...

Sukiyaki Western Django

Pros: Stylish and wild like all of Miike's films...
Cons: ... but not quite as wild or stylish as his classic works.
In retrospect it seems almost obvious that Takashi Miike would make a film like Sukiyaki Western Django. The prolific Japanese filmmaker hasn't ever wanted to be pigeonholed by a particular genre (and as proof he's made everything from yakuza ...

Cons: requires frequent and concerted suspension of disbelief
I was somewhat surprised to see that the 1972 kiddie western "The Cowboys" had 13 epinions, since my interest in seeing it was that it was adapted by (William) Dale Jenning (1917-2001) from his novel. Although I have not read it, it shares a focus on ...
