Horrible Things Happened On The Way to the Sun
by vemartin
Pros: Visually stunning, a special effects masterpiece.
Cons: Lack of character development.
I like Science Fiction; especially those stories set in cold reaches of outer space.  There is something about outer space that holds an endless fascination for me.  So when I heard about Sunshine (2007) a futuristic movie about a ...

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Scifi Classics: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (15/50)
by cdm72
Pros: Not one.
Cons: Where to begin?
I don’t even know where to begin. The title of this movie is SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS. Where do you go from there? What more is there to be said? Wow. I mean . . . wow. In this 1964 “classic”, Kimar, leader of the Martian people, is ...

Australia
Western, War Movie or Romance? You Decide.
by Alena
Pros: acting, cinematography
Cons: 3 movies in 1
I am a big fan of Baz Luhrman's work, but I was a bit disappointed in his latest movie, Australia.  It seemed to me he tried to turn two movies into one.  The first movie was a solid western about beating a meat tycoon at his own game and the ...

Four Christmases
Four Christmases --- With Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon
by three_ster
Pros: has a good cast, a few funny moments, good holiday fun
Cons: not funny enough, doesn't know if its a comedy or drama, dialogue needed work
The latest fare to take advantage of the Christmas holidays is the film Four Christmases.  It's one of those films that takes a couple of well known actors, combines them with quite a few recognizable supporting actors and actresses, and ...

Bolt
Bolt - John Travolta Brought an Animated Pooch to Life
by dragonfire88
Pros: Very entertaining movie with good story and characters.
Cons: Plot was a bit predictable.
I continue to love animated movies and tend to see most of the new ones at one point.  Disney has made many of the best animated movies, though they were struggling for a while.  That seems to be changing now that John Lasseter is in charge of ...

Cons: Series lasted only three seasons,final episode not televised.
  Dungeons and Dragons was part of my Saturday mornings in the 80’s along with The Smurfs, Galaxy High, The Gummy Bears, Super Friends, Paw Paw Bears and other cartoons. I often wondered why they stopped making new episodes of D&D the show ...

Hangmen Also Die!
Die Hangman, Die!
by spelvini
Pros: great Lang and Brecht collaboration with excellent Noir visuals
Cons: some of the dialogue is real Propoganda
Hangmen Also Die is the only collaboration that Fritz Lang and his fellow countryman Bertolt Brecht are credited with, and Brecht is said to have disowned the project later due to the commercial polish that was layered over the film to make it a viable ...

Picture this: A well-to-do white family in an affluent suburb is going about their daily grind when the man of the house looks out the window to see new neighbors moving in next door. They are Black. We can tell from the tightening expression on his face ...

Iron Man
I'm Iron Man
by andaryl
Pros: Well directed, great performance from Downey Jr.
Cons: Action is limited
As superhero movies go they can reach all ends of the spectrum. Sadly the flops are much more common than the blockbuster. But there seems to be a secret to the formula. Give it to a low budget independent style director who isn’t really known for ...

Quantum of Solace
QUANTUM OF SOLACE - a quantum of crap.
by desslok
Pros: It's the shortest of the 007 series thus far.
Cons: Bad Bond, stupid plot, weak villains, crap song, incomprehensible editing, and no good bond girls.
Sigh. Okay, let me preface this review with a bit of history. I've been a James Bond fan for decades now - my mom took me to see The Spy Who Loved Me in the theaters back in '77, and I've been hooked ever since. I've had all the films on ...

Rendition
Gavin Hood's Rendition : When it comes to terrorism, where do we draw the line?
by ladyconsumer
Pros: Very moving story, some terrific performances, visually appealing.
Cons: Some really good actors were under-utilized.
Rendition was an eye-opening movie for me, as it brought to light a very real situation going on in the world, today.  A situation I sort of knew about, but never spent much time thinking about.  I'm referring to "extreme rendition", the ...

Crime Wave/Decoy
Two Film Noir Classics: ''Crime Wave'' and ''Decoy''
by trailhound
Pros: Just about everything in Crime Wave.  Chilling performance by Jean Gille in Decoy.
Cons: Decoy was a bit campy and relatively short.
I was hoping to find a couple of good movies on this DVD promoted as a ''Film Noir Double Feature''.  While one film was good but not great, the other was terrific and makes it worth acquiring this DVD if you collect films from the 1940s-1950s era. ...

Pros: James Cagney, supporting cast, story, dramatic music
Cons: Courtroom framing device
Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye (1950) This is a late model James Cagney crime film that is very surprising in that it is up to his usual high standard of entertainment but not well known for some reason.  Let me say at the outset, ...

Pros: Strong acting, excellent script, emotional message

I've really seen a very wide range of films the last three days: "Australia", "Role Models", and, now, "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas."  The latter film is a very personal view of one of the worst chapters in human history, the ...

Supernova
Good Sci-Fi the Way Sci-Fi Should Be
by jsommersby
Pros: Acting, directing, editing, cinematography...
Cons:  A couple of elements not sufficiently realized due to studio-interference and some contrivances.
Without so much as a shadow of a doubt, the sci-fi thriller Supernova stands as one of the most tragic studio-butchered calamities in cinematic history: a masterpiece in its original, director's-cut version yet a flawed-though-entertaining one in ...
