…and so the lion fell in love with the lamb… stupid lamb… sick, masochistic lion by dramastef Pros: Faithful to the book
Cons: Vampire make-up; Jacob is not nearly attractive enough Sometime in the last month I had decided it would be a good idea to attend a midnight screening of the movie adaptation of a beloved book, Twilight. I went to the show last night pre-disappointed. Surprisingly, I'm looking back ...

It's all in the reflexes! BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA by talyseon Pros: Campy over the top action adventure with Chinese ghosts and demons!
Cons: Way campy. Is that a con? Big Trouble in Little China (1986) Directed by John CarpenterWhen some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks ...

"Mistletoe!" I Beg To Be Let Out Of "Four Christmases!" by wlswarts Pros: Opens well, surprisingly
Cons: Guts all character, Previews ruined virtually all of the humor, Not extraordinary acting. Christmas movies tend to fare poorly with me because I have a low tolerance for schmaltz. Indeed, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/conten

The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story - 2004 by susidee34 Pros: Dean Cain
Cons: writing, poor development, lackluster ending So many times I have watched a movie that claims to be based on true accounts. Since most of those are in a time or place I was not involved in, I have to take it on good faith that they are telling me the truth plus embellishing it a bit for ...

"You just killed a helicopter with a car!" by alexdg1 Pros: McClane is still in top form; Olyphant is a great villain; good effects
Cons: The unrated version is actually better than the theatrical release. In 1988, 20th Century Fox introduced us to New York Police Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis), a wise-cracking, sardonic, yet likable Everyman-like cop who is "at the wrong place at the wrong time" and facing off almost single-handedly bands of ...

"Gotham Knight:" Lousy Animated Batman "Movie" Leaves Viewer Irked! by wlswarts Pros: DVD Bonus features with "Wonder Woman" featurette
Cons: ANIMATION style, Plot, Lack of character, virtually everything Do you ever have a DVD in your player that you wanted to get out as quickly as possible for fear that it might somehow crap up DVDs you put in later? I don't mean physically dirty or ruin future DVDs in that way, but rather the content of a DVD is so ...

Pretty much useless by paulsavage Pros: Nothing at all.
Cons: Flat characters, story that doesn't quite make sense An American Crime is an apt title; that is exactly what the film shows. Let’s focus on one word, crime. One of the main elements of a crime is motive. That is my focus here: what is the motive behind making this film? In ...

Twilight: On Picking the Wrong Things to Change by pippadaisy Pros: excellent soundtrack, good casting, realistic teen angst and decent special effects for budget
Cons: plot overly compressed, a few extra-cheesy additions How do you cram a 500-page young-adult novel that has had everyone from teens to middle-aged women declaring themselves in love with either a teen vampire or a teen werewolf into a two-hour movie and make it perfect? The new film Twilight ...

CZW's XTREME ACTION Delivers Just That by xxxxer Pros: The Lobo vs. Zandig blood bath and the Cash/Joker spot fest
Cons: Other two matches kind of pale in comparison Ah, the vibrant Philadelphia wrestling scene... More or less put on the map in the mid 1990s by the rise in popularity of Extreme Championship Wrestling, Philadelphia quickly became known as being home for some of the most rabid grappling fans in the ...

Sleeping with the fishes by trailhound Pros: Acting wasn't bad.
Cons: Plot didn't ring true for me. Coincidences upon coincidences. They seemed like the ''prefect couple''. They were both nice looking, had a beautiful beachfront home, and he made lots of money while she took care of the home and worked just part-time. Ooops, but wait. Not all the cans in the kitchen cabinet ...

The True Story of THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK by xxxxer Pros: A fascinating story and a very effective depiction of it
Cons: The film is definitely slanted towards homosexual viewpoints While most documentary films embrace a view that examines a person more or less from a biographical point of view, Robert Epstein and Richard Schiechen's documentary about the first openly gay elected official in the United States takes a somewhat ...

Twilight is the worst film of 2008! (Or 2006, or 2007...) by chelledun Pros: Washington is pretty. At times, Twilight is so bad its good.
Cons: But generally it's just really bad. I'll admit that I read all four of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels, albeit with a hefty dose of self-loathing. Despite the teen-targeted romance and bland writing style, I thought the series had potential for a decent set of films in the vein of Harry ...

I can't recommend a better stocking-stuffer for your friendly film buff.The movie is ...

Werewolf Hunter (Romasanta) - Based On A True Story. by coldsteel7 Pros: Acting, scenery, storyline.
Cons: Rough cuts and hard to follow. I was intrigued by the concept of Werewolf Hunter. The fact that this movie was based on the true story of a man named Romasanta who terrorized Spain in the 1850s easily captivated my imagination. Romasanta believed he was cursed, as ...

"Blackadder" Holds Up Remarkably Well, Despite The Limited Nature Of The Series! by wlswarts Pros: Hilarious, Wonderful acting, Interesting characters

Indie film at its best, a buddy/road flick, oh, with AIDS by paulsavage Pros: Storyline, pacing is fantastic, the acting is rough but generally good
Cons: Not a con for me, but it is gay for gay so be warned. The Living End, auteur Greg Araki’s first film, was the first film to take on AIDS from a gay perspective specifically to a gay audience. What makes it different from films before it is that it tells a story that has AIDS ...
