Dark and gritty and very, very good
by dolphinboy
Pros: Imagery, musical score, cast, story -- everything.
Cons: None that I saw.  Might upset young children.
I will preface this by saying that I might have glanced at a Batman comic book when I was a kid, but have never read one. I did watch the Michael Keaton Batman movie, but my main Batman experience, prior to this movie, was watching the television ...

Chocolat
Chocolat - Not Always Empty Calories. Decadence Can Be Delightful.
by coldsteel7
Pros: Excellent cast, original characters, interesting setting, well constructed.
Cons: Predictable.
I have owned the video for Chocolat for quite a while, but it seems like I keep forgetting to watch it.  I dusted it off yesterday for an afternoon viewing.  I needed something sweet to chase the awful drubbing my Detroit Lions suffered ...

El Cid
El Cid (1961): Honor, love, and loyalty once stood tall
by Ed.Williamson
Pros: Colorful, and it hails lasting virtues.
Cons: On the verge of cheesy.
Time was, in a movie, things were pretty black and white, even in a color movie. Men were men, women were women, right was right, and wrong was wrong. You accen-tuated the positive and elim-inated the negative and you didn't mess with Mr. In-Between. It ...

Hired Hand
Peter Fonda's Neglected Existential Western: THE HIRED HAND
by xxxxer
Pros: The acting of Oates and Bloom, Langhorne's music, Szigmond's camera
Cons: Somewhat stiff performance by Fonda; too slow moving for most audiences.
Coming off as a sort of extension of Monte Hellman's work in the western genre in the late 1960s, Peter Fonda's directorial debut, 1971's The Hired Hand, is a similarly slow-moving and underplayed effort that focuses more on character development ...

Scifi Classics: Attack of the Monsters/Gamera the Invincible (13-14/50)

Pros: Attack of the Monsters.
Cons: Gamera the Invincible.
When I think of classic scifi, I suppose I should be thinking of movie like ALIEN or BLADE RUNNER or even STAR WARS. But honestly, the movies that come to my mind, the ones that brightened my Sunday afternoons as a kid, were just a little less dark and ...

Role Models
"ROLE MODELS": MUCH FUNNIER THAN I EXPECTED
by mike.holmes
Pros: Good writing, the acting of Rudd, Scott, Mintz-Plasse, Thompson and Lynch
Cons: Rough language from the mouth of a child
Maybe I was just in the mood for something funny.  Or maybe it's because I've seen some very poorly written comedies lately.  For whatever reason, I really enjoyed "Role Models" although the premise for the movie is hardly original.  ...

Drôle de drame ou L'étrange aventure du Docteur Molyneux

Pros: screwball fun throughout; cast and crew
Cons: nothing for me!
Imagine you're a French film director in the year 1937. The world around you seems, perhaps, to be spinning out of control and is making little sense. You find it rather absurd and feel helpless to do anything about it, but then you and your favorite ...
