Mrs. Winterbourne - An Unconventional Cinderella Story by AliventiAsylum Pros: sweet story, decent acting, funny moments
Cons: relationship between Bill and Connie feels rushed, unnecessary drama Not every movie has to be the kind that dazzles its viewers. Sometimes it’s enough to have a sweet story that allows the viewer to escape fro the real world for a while and root for the unlikely circumstances of the film’s heroine. Such is ...

An Almost Perfect Vacation by topreviewerman Pros: Beautiful scenery through the eyes of a photographer.
Cons: Graphic torture, unfulfilled sex. Here's a movie to make one sit up and think. We start with a perfect church à la (James 1:27), "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself ...

Making a Fascinating Subject Completely Banal: Jack Baxter's BROTHER MINISTER by xxxxer Pros: An interesting subject
Cons: Poor presentation that ultimately diminishes the film's message The subject of Malcolm X is one that surely presents polarizing opinions. Universally, he is heralded as one of the primary figures of the civil rights movement, a philosopher hero of sorts of the era in which he lived. In the 1960s, Malcolm ...

Vulgar Comedy Superimposed Onto a Very Cleverly Structured Story! by Elliekedward Pros: Very carefully rendered character arcs and story development.
Cons: None worth bothering with. This is a comedy that comes around very rarely. Frankly, I can’t think of a comedy that has such broad appeal and yet shows all the distinctive signs of having spent almost two decades in story development. Stiller said that he began thinking about ...

Rule 303 by spelvini Pros: great adaptaion of stage play on a small but vital element of war
Cons: no hope There's something that can be very gripping with a courtroom drama. TV series like The Defendants, Perry Mason, LA Law and many others thrive because of the nature of uncovering the truth.The court is a place where we feel justice is blind ...

Whozawhat by jackiechad Pros: Great animation and designs
Cons: Confusing story Some people swear by Final Fantasy. I’m not one of those. I have barely a passing knowledge of the series from a little bit of playing and a love for the piano adaptations of the soundtracks, but mostly from friends who live and breathe the stuff ...

James Bond Rebooted, "Casino Royale" Still Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be. by wlswarts Pros: Decent amount of action, Moments of character, Acting
Cons: Still largely predictable, Nothing great as far as DVD extras go I was standing around Barnes And Noble the other day, pointedly avoiding writing the reviewing "Casino Royale," which I had watched days prior, when I stumbled upon Roger Moore's autobiography. In it, Moore described a scene from his first film as James ...

Bad Things Happen At Night by andaryl Pros: Cool visuals, nice concept
Cons: Over-cliched, plenty of storyline holes Based on a 2002 comic book miniseries, 30 Days of Night is a modern day vampire flick. Sam Raimi is listed among the producers, it’s directed by David Slade and stars Josh Hartnett among a posse of lesser names. 30 ...

Daring, imaginative and devastating by aucky Pros: Tremendous acting, strange humor, thought provoking content, strong imagery, imaginative construction
Cons: Long, melancholic to an extreme Having seen other films based on Kaufman's screenplays and having appreciated their inventiveness and humor, I wasn't prepared for the sheer emotional power of this thing — Kaufman's first directorial effort. I wish I could shake it ...

A Lackluster Episode And A Killer Season Finale: "Small Potatoes" and "Gethsemane!" by wlswarts Pros: "Gethsemane" is riveting and intense, "Small Potatoes" is amusing and well-acted
Cons: "Small Potatoes" is somewhat pointless with a terrible special effect. Years after a series rises and falls, it is sometimes hard to go back through and recapture the excitement of what it was like to see it the very first time. As I speed through "The X-Files," I have been caught both by how wonderful a show it was ...

We Own The Night : Walhberg and Phoenix can't make up for a dull script. by ladyconsumer Pros: Starts out OK, with a decent premise, and a nice cast.
Cons: But can't get over its bad script. We Own The Night is a mixture of police drama and family drama set in New York City, in the 1980's. The Grusinsky family is as divided as a family can be. Dad (Robert Duvall) is the honorable, much-decorated Police Chief. ...

Brad Pitt In A Love Triangle? At Least He Keeps It In The Family. by coldsteel7 Pros: Acting, Writing, Character Development, Dialogue and Cinematography.
Cons: None. Legends of the Fall was released more than a decade ago. However, it is a timeless classic with plenty of twists and turns. With a star studded cast, breath-taking scenery and superb writing, this film was destined to become a ...

Here On Earth- Sappy and Stupid by lyoness913 Pros: None
Cons: Acting, plot, directing, everything In 2000, a most horrible drama/romance was made called Here On Earth. Starring the ever-weirder looking LeeLee Sobieski and her full-of-wonder gazes (which looked more like deer in some halogen headlights), we are immersed in a tacky love ...

Money Corrupts Brazil by Bounty628 Pros: Good use of interviews in the documentary.
Cons: There are times when the film becomes too artsy. Though often times we might hear about the political corruption that takes place not just in our own country but other countries around the globe, it is not an everyday occurrence that we are brought into the close confines of the corruption that is ...

A Truly Beautiful Opera by saffiresutton Pros: Beautiful

Try to Remember a Time When You Enjoyed Star Wars by kristina_kim Pros: Action sequences are incredible.
Cons: The rest of the movie is not worth watching. In 1977, a movie came along that blew audiences away. It was the dawn of a new era, where epic storytelling could be brought to the big screen, conceived and executed in a way unimaginable before. Perhaps for the worse, there's less of a ...

The First Rule of Fight Club is to Leave Your Intelligence at the Door by kristina_kim Pros: It's a great translation of the book.
Cons: The book was not that great to begin with. Every once and a while, there comes along a movie with a message that is so powerful it resonates with an entire generation, uplifting it to the status of instant classic and permeating pop culture until people become utterly detested at anything having ...

Lindsey Buckingham... live! by knotheadusc Pros: Excellent DVD makes this CD/DVD set worth buying. Lindsey Buckingham's still got it.
Cons: Sometimes Buckingham sounds a little fatigued and tormented. Leave it to my husband, Bill, to find new and interesting music for me. A few weeks ago, he presented me with Lindsey Buckingham's 2008 Live at the Bass Performance Hall, a CD/DVD set featuring Fleetwood Mac's star guitarist and occasional ...

TAKE A HARD RIDE - Hard Ride goes down real easy! by desslok Pros: Great action that doesn't ever let up and a good cast
Cons: Not much in the way of extras on the DVD. What do you get when you take three of the biggest stars of the blaxploitation genre (who's initials aren’t Pam Grier), an Italian director well versed in just about every genre of B-movie under the sun, a rousing score from Jerry Goldsmith score and a ...

I Couldn't Stop Watching!! by vdriftwood Pros: Addictive, great acting, interesting, and good storyline.
Cons: Not for children. Involves nudity and vulgar language. Adult content. Very graphic. Imagine watching a show and not being able to go to sleep because you are so wrapped up in it. This is exactly what happened to me when I first started watching Nip/Tuck. Even if the medical field is not an interest of some people they will ...
