Something's Wrong Here, Star Trek, “Mirror, Mirror” by busby777 Pros: interesting concept, explores the darker side of humanity
Cons: kind of silly at times This was the fourth episode to be aired on television in the second season of “Star Trek” on October 6, 1967. This is one of many “Star Trek” episodes that explore the darker side of human nature. Peeling off the veneer of civilization, it shows our ...

John Travolta Struts His Stuff in Grease by dragonfire88 Pros: Fun, entertaining movie.
Cons: Silly at times. Cast was a bit old. It use to be very common for successful Broadway musicals to be turned into movies. Many of those movies were also very successful, with some of them even winning Oscars. Grease was the last movie version of a musical to be successful ...

Before There Was Rambo... by jsommersby Pros: A ramshackle charm.
Cons: A few that are easily forgivable. Contrary to its title, Ruckus is really no big deal. It's irrelevant and hokey and about as substantial as the term "compassionate conservatism". Admittedly, though, it makes for fairly entertaining stuff. Dirk Benedict stars as Kyle Hanson, an ...

~~ YOU HAVE TO BE SUPER HIGH TO WATCH SUPER HIGH ME ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: Educational, informative, detailed
Cons: Is this a comedy? A mockumentary? A documentary? I just don't know!! I have no idea * what* I was thinking when I decided to watch this "documentary" live on the 'Watch Instantly' option on Netflix, only out of morbid curiosity and to see what the big deal was when it comes to friends that I do have ...

Almost (but not quite) a return to form for Allen. by rmurray847 Pros: Unknown Rebecca Hall and Javier Bardem are a treat!
Cons: Scarlett Johanssen doesn't work for me in this one. It’s been a LONG time since Woody Allen gave us a film that was truly meaningful and had something “deep” to say about life, love and the human condition. My favorite is HANNAH AND HER SISTERS, but CRIMES & MISDEMEANORS and HUSBANDS & WIVES (with Sydney ...

This recipe definitely needs more spice! by janies  Pros: Abigail, Catherine, and Aaron did a good job with bad characters.
Cons: The movie was pointless missed the mark as romantic or funny. THE STORY: This story contains three main components. It gives us a love story without a particularly fresh or unusual approach and with a predictable outcome. The spark between the lovers just isn't there. Another story within this story is that of ...

Cinematic techniques by a consummate director enhance a riviting tale of American youth by needtovent-com Pros: A great director at the top of his profession.
Cons: You have to pay attention -- not for those with attention deficit disorders. Most film critics distinguish, more or less, between “commercial” and “personal” cinema. Ray worked within the commercial Hollywood studio system and his projects were given the green light by executives sitting behind massive oak desks on the Warner ...

Creative and Funny, But Not for Everyone by SimianFox Pros: Wacky, Funny, and Creative
Cons: Not for everybody “Be Kind Rewind” is one of those movies that a friend recommends to you, and after watching it you say “what the hell was that?” Not to say this film is bad, it’s just not for everyone. That said, I think I can adequately cover what types of people this ...

This one was a downer and a dud by janies Pros: Wood and Douglas appeared to have done a good job (but with bad characters).
Cons: The movie had a hopeless feel. I don't intentionally watcher downer movies. OVERALL REACTION TO THE MOVIE AND ITS PLOT: I didn't enjoy this movie. My enjoyment of anything I do for entertainment depends on whether it makes me feel good or feel bad. This one did the latter. I am an "adult child of an alcoholic." Because of ...

~~ SEX AND BREAKFAST IS NO PLATE OF SCRAMBLED EGGS ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: Would be interesting if the couples were older

"You are from the asylum, aren't you? Aren't you? " by alexdg1 Pros: Greer Garson offers viewers a rare glimpse of her legs. Otherwise, no Pros.
Cons: Pedestrian, plodding, and preposterous screenplay. Soap opera at its very worst. Some films, no matter how good their pedigree is, no matter if it has a great cast or had a good cinematographer, simply don't age well.It doesn't matter if we're talking about an inept 21st Century spoof a la Date Movie or a so-so ...

A German(-Alaskan) movie many dislike but that I like by Stephen_Murray Pros: lang, Zech, the canned salmonberries, the dead fish, the BINGO parlor

Raw power from Van Damme by anandks007 Pros: Adrenaline Raising, Great Plot.

You Kill Me - Ben Kingsley is an alcoholic assassin by ladyconsumer Pros: Terrific performances by Kingsley and Leoni.
Cons: Character of Laurel was a bit strange. It's different from your standard mobster film, that's for sure. Occasionally, it gets serious, but mostly, it's a comedy, somewhat dark in nature. I'm talking about You Kill Me starring Ben Kingsley and Tea Leoni. Directed by John Dahl, this ...

Re-Master, Rerated: "Star Trek" Season Two From A More Balanced Perspective. by wlswarts Pros: Special effects are visually interesting, Some truly great episodes
Cons: Ultimately unnecessary and pointless, Some real lemons. It must stink to be on the losing end of the format wars when new technologies are introduced. To wit, CBS/Paramount bet on the wrong horse by going with HD-DVD (which, to be fair, still has the most useful and descriptive name for the HD mediums) and ...
