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 - 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 (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 ...

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) by cdm72 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 ...

BOSS - White Man's town, Black Man's justice. by desslok Pros: The movie is surprisingly good!
Cons: The movie drags towards the middle before picking up steam again. If there's any proof needed that the seventies are a different world, you need to look no further than the subject of today's review: Boss Nigger. We open with as two gunslingers of black persuasion (AKA the niggers mentioned in ...

"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. ...

Marcel Carne's Subversive French Farce Drole De Drame On Brink Of WWII~ by jankp 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 ...

Well, it *used* to be a hard to find UK TV movie by ssjakira1 Pros: Effectively creepy, bad guy gets his just desserts.
Cons: I hate it when no one listens to someone they’ve known forever. Some people might say I have issues. In some ways I probably do – I’ve effectively decided I’ll probably never marry an American boy.
