Jack Bauer Tries to Save the Children by carstairs38 Pros: Action and real time suspense
Cons: Slow to start; predictable Thanks in large part to the writer's strike a year ago (And don't even get me started on that. Again.), we did not get a season of TV's thriller 24 last year. Of course, after the dismal sixth season, that wasn't necessarily a bad ...

The Rise And Fall Of "Q," Modern Trek's Most Intriguing Villain (Or Punchline). by wlswarts Pros: Some truly amazing episodes from the "Star Trek" franchise
Cons: Q gets dumbed down as the various series use him, No great DVD bonus features Some things just make me laugh when I encounter them. For example, when I came across the boxed set DVD for the "Star Trek" "Fan Choice" set featuring Q, I just had to laugh. Billed as the fan-favorite episodes (by fan voting) featuring the Q entity, ...

Adrift In Manhattan : Even in a crowd, you can be lonely. by ladyconsumer Pros: Terrific performances, interesting stories woven together.
Cons: Slow-paced, some themes will be disturbing to viewers. Adrift In Manhattan is about people who feel all alone in this world. Even living in a place as crowded as New York City, three people are all alone tonight. All have reasons to feel isolated, but all can be reached, by the right ...

"Vanity is definitely my favorite Sin." by thomaslifting Pros: A powerful insight into the human spirit.
Cons: The music did not compliment the film. A thought provoking story that entertains long after the film ends. "Devil's Advocate" uses the supernatural to give us glimpse into the corruption of society. The movie shows how much we can destroy our own lives by the greed and "Vanity " ...

Not the movie it needed to be by anderz Pros: Supurb cinematography
Strong cast Surprisingly well paced Cons: - Shallow exploration of sub-plots - Feels abit too much like a giant advertisment - Underdeveloped characters It’s a bold and unusual move to name a film after an entire country. Considering that no feature length film since 1923 has been simply titled “America”, maybe there is a good reason why it’s not a common occurrence. Sure, the ...

EXPLOITATION CINEMA: CHINESE HERCULES/BLACK DRAGON - Kung Fu double header! by desslok Pros: I cant get enough of those old school grindhouse trailers!
Cons: The films are okay, but not outstanding. While I may have hated what Rodriguez and Tarantino for their retro exploitation throwback film Grindhouse (50 million dollars for a exploitation film? Christ, what these two spent on catering alone could have produced three blaxploitation flicks) , I do ...

Do You Hear the Rockies Calling? by williamjwhite Pros: Heavy on the action front, but with a nice mix of comedy thrown in too
Cons: It's a little too light on the story front Call of the Rockies (1944) Although this is technically the first movie in the Sunset Carson series, Sunset received second billing, and the top billing went to Smiley Burnette. Smiley does his typical comic sidekick shtick as he plays his best-loved ...

With a Family Like This...G*d Help Him. THE BOOK OF DANIEL by talyseon Pros: Brilliant writing, stellar acting, a great drama, with great humor.
Cons: This series was murdered by the small-minded. Perhaps the Websters are unrelentingly dysfunctional. The Book of Daniel (2006) This most excellent series was a brief flash across the dismal intellectually stunted wasteland that is television. It was intelligent, funny, and insightful. It was doomed.The story ...

Paradise Road to the Pit of Hell by LRai Pros: True story about WWII horrors in a Japanese prison camp for women and children.
Cons: Brutality against women, it's part of the true story but it's hard to watch. I love movies about true stories so when someone recommended I see this film I was all for it. I have to tell you that it was not easy to watch this movie and I don't think I could watch it again. I thought I knew most of the history concerning WWII, ...

Music and Kids by LRai Pros: Good music, Meryl Streep is worth watching, good concert at the end.
Cons: Too long, too predictable, no real depth or drama. Okay I like Meryl Streep and I believe she can become any person she wants to become. I totally believe her when I see her in a role. I love movies that are true stories, and this one is a true story about a violin teacher in Harlem. The plot is ...

Sex, Love and Aging by LRai Pros: Nice fashion show sort of, great views of NY, a few memorable scenes.
Cons: Overdone storyline, boring at times, redundant sex scenes with no purpose. Okay, I have never seen the TV show so I wasn't going out of my way to see the movie. I am currently teaching abroad and one of my students gave me a copy to borrow. At first I wanted to give it back but the young lady told me that I would really like ...

Four Christmases: Vince and Reese, I Have Lost Faith In You! by jetbluefan1 Pros: Good plot, good supporting characters

"Apocalypto" is a Visual Masterpiece. by thomaslifting Pros: Shows the true realism cinema can reach.

"I've Got That Sinking Feeling..." "The X-Files" Descends Into Average Territory With The Sixth Season! by wlswarts Pros: Some fun, clever episodes, Moments of character
Cons: A greater sense of repetition in this season, no exceptional highs "The X-Files" is the series I am currently embedded in to the point of not watching much of anything else on DVD until I can finish the series and get my reviews posted (finally). But the thing is, when the series begins to turn toward the common, it ...

Forbidden Topics by topreviewerman Pros: Brings up, in a humorous vein, topics usually avoided.
Cons: A little much to deal with all at once. Sex Drive, as the title suggests, involves a road trip for a young man coming of age to prove his manhood. He has never made it with a chick, never done much of anything with the opposite sex. His younger 14 year old friend is way ahead of him in ...

A Better Way by topreviewerman Pros: Expert camera work, wonderful role model.
