THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION - Bustin' makes me feel good! by desslok Pros: Brilliantly written, funny and loaded with a TON of extras
Cons: A pox on you ABC for promoting Slimer at the expense of the Ghostbusters! Ghostbusters.Really, what do I say after that? If by some quirk of fate, you have never seen the original 1984 film with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Rick Moranis, then I command you to stop ...

Everybody Knows The Secret by rjc Pros: A quick, effective way to get the message. You can watch over again if needed.
Cons: Some may misunderstand the message. I think the problem is that we all often forget about it. The world is made up of many different people, from many different parts of the world, and from different stages in life. Each of us blessed with the gift of ...

Fellini's Tale of Five Slackers in a Little, Coastal Italian Town by thevoid99 Pros: Fellini's Direction, Script, Cinematography, Editing, Rota's Score & Cast.
Cons: A Very Unsympathetic Character with Very Little Development. After two feature-length film credits he made since 1950, Federico Fellini was just a filmmaker on the rise. Despite a critical and commercial flop of The White Sheik, which was his solo directorial debut, the film did give him attention for ...

Eugene O'Neill's Journey Into Nightmare by Goatius Pros: Brilliant acting by Hepburn, Robards, Richardson, and Stockwell; Expert direction by Lumet; O'Neill's amazing play
Cons: Very long, very dark, very depressing As the story goes, playwright Eugene O'Neill wrote the frighteningly autobiographical Long Day's Journey Into Night in the mid 1940s, with instructions that it should not be published, staged, or presented until 25 years after his death. In ...

By the Book: 3PW's INSANE & READY FOR PAIN by xxxxer Pros: Styles vs. Daniels, Sabu vs. Jerry Lynn
Cons: Remainder of the card is pretty mediocre Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling, 3PW for short, was yet another upstart wrestling promotion built from the ashes of Paul Heyman's Extreme Championship Wrestling. When ECW when out of business, a rabid group of wrestling fans were left without a clear-cut ...

Everything I Heard About This Film Was DEAD Wrong. by coldsteel7 Pros: Eccentric Characters, Decent Special Effects.
Cons: No plot, terrible acting, tedious to watch, high gore factor. I’m not a huge fan of slasher films. I have enjoyed a few over the years, but for the most part, they don’t hold a huge appeal to me. There was a lot of buzz about Rob Zombie and his debut film House of 1,000 Corpses, but I ...

An amalgam of documentary footage and a fictional cog in the WWII war machine by Stephen_Murray Pros: seamless integration of wartime documentary and 1970s fiction film; load of bonus features
Cons: too much of the former, underdevelopment of the latter Another movie about an ordinary guy drafted to be cannon fodder in World War II, undergoing boot camp, having a tentative romance (with a more assured character played by Julie Neesam), and sent off to battle? Another movie about D-Day ("Operation ...

Tenacious D try a little too hard by andaryl Pros: It's funny
Cons: Excess doesn't woirk, not enough music You’re a little late in the game if you don’t know Tenacious D. In their own words they’re rock legends destined to rival the greats of Zeppelin, The Who and Black Sabbath. To everyone else they’re a ...

One Hit Wonder Turtle by heather200805 Pros: Acting
Characters Cons: Script Directing Not more characters After hearing about "The Master of Disguise" on television, I had to see it. It was not an option to skip out on it, my son wanted to see it, and I didn't know who was more excited, me or him. After getting the DVD I hate to say,...What a bad ...

A legendary Broadway production preserved on film by Stephen_Murray Pros: Dewhurst and Flanders
Cons: photographed stage productions lack some of the punches of theater or television The 1973 Broadway revival of "A Moon for the Misbegotten," one of the plays about Irish-Americans in Connecticut in the late-19th and early-20th centuries by Nobel Prize winner Eugene O'Neill (1888-1953) electrified ...

A Quandary Without Solace by trailhound Pros: Daniel Craig and Judi Dench.
Cons: Plot. Settings. Drab villain. Lacks polish and pizzazz of Bond film. Maybe I was expecting too much. Maybe I take it all too seriously. But this long awaited (well, two years) sequel to the most commercially successful James Bond film ever – Casino Royale – was a big let down for me. While ...

Isn't this the one with the donkey and the chambermaid? by deadmilkboy Pros: Peter Jackson's hyperactive gore comedy with romance, karate and living intestines.
Cons: It's not as great as Evil Dead II, and this DVD could use an upgrade. Before he got the chance to helm a multi-million dollar update of King Kong, Peter Jackson paid tribute to Skull Island by exporting a creature greater than any ape: the Sumatran Rat Monkey. A victim of interspecies rape used in voodoo ...

A Disney Twist on Dickens by carstairs38 Pros: Fast paced story, "Why Should I Worry?"
Cons: Lack of character development I remember when Oliver and Company first hit the theaters back in 1988. Neither of the two theaters in my town at the time would show it, so someone else agreed to show it on a limited run basis. Boy how times have changed. Now ...

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2- A Fitting Sequel by lyoness913 Pros: Good follow up to the first movie, loose ends tied up
Cons: Alexis Bledel has a less than stellar performance, not as emotional as the first movie I’ve read all of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books by Ann Brashares. I really enjoyed them, and I got to know and love the characters. Four teen girls spend their entire lives together as best friends, and as ...

A Simpsons Christmas Roast by jackai Pros: Five really funny episodes
Cons: One episode has nothing to do with Christmas; should have contained more episodes. The holidays are fast approaching so it must mean another Christmas-themed review. This year, I'd like to highlight The Simpsons and their wacky yuletide adventures bundled into a DVD aptly titled, "Christmas with the ...

Nobody Expects...! by msiduri Pros: Interesting and sad stories. Melodrama not overdone
Cons: Silly accents in readings from transcripts. This 4-episode series examines four eras of the various Inquisitions or the Roman Catholic Church's suppression of heresy within its ranks and attempts to make good Christians out of Jews and Muslims by threat of violence. Its victims include Joan of ...

Quantum of Solace.......Or Bond in a Blur? by silentrascal Pros: Acting of Craig and Dench is still top-notch. Phenomenal action scenes.
Cons: Herky-jerky filming of the action. Paper thin story line. I'll start off by admitting a few things......(1) I was a "doubting Thomas" when I heard of the Bond recasting with some blonde guy I'd never heard of before, and (2) my doubts completely evaporated after watching Casino Royale. So ...

Winning Over Reality by andaryl Pros: Sharp humor, nice message

Which disaster is bigger? The Great San_Francisco Quake or this DVD on the event? by trailhound Pros: Some good photos shown. Background info on San Francisco in early 20th Century.
Cons: Strange production qualities. Too many re-enactments. Not enough scientific focus. I thought a documentary from National Geographic on the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 would be heavy on scientific explanations and detailed facts about the event. However, that's not quite what you get in San Francisco's Great Quake. While the ...

After all, on the average science fiction show, it seems if your character is killed off, it virtually guarantees you another three appearances. Then ...
