Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Cutting Edge for its Time
by reelponderings
Pros: Genuinely disturbing, memorable depictions of insanity, semi-realistic characters, authentic rural atmosphere.
Cons: Some pacing issues, unsympathetic protagonists, lack of outright gore may repell some.
Tobe Hooper is a director with a checkered career. In fact, looking at his more recent work makes it hard to believe that he was once an auteur of horror cinema. But like him or not, Hooper has earned his spot on the Horror Wall of Fame. In 1974, he and ...

Star Trek - The Mudd Pack
Lame "Star Trek" Video Set: "The Mudd Pack" Is Not Worth Tracking Down!
by wlswarts
Pros: Ummm...Uhura gets to leave the bridge in the second one?
Cons: Not funny, not clever, Poor acting, dumb character direction, Outdated medium.
Believe it or not, "Star Trek" had only one recurring adversary during its three year run. Yup, just one. There were no Klingons that returned for more than one episode, no god-creatures, no annoying ambassadors who appeared more than once . . . except ...

Bloodsucking Freaks
So Bad It's Entertaining
by andaryl
Pros: Extreme gore, decent concept
Cons: Bad acting, production and script
Bloodsucking Freaks: What an interesting premise I thought. Already I’m drawing up images of vampires, or could it be some mutant leaches? According to Netflix, the average rating is 2.8, but “Our best guess for Andrew” is 3.9. I ...

Blue State
Blue State is worthy of your vote and viewing
by Bounty628
Pros: Decent humor throughout the film.
Cons: The ending is a bit too foreseen.
During the 2004 Presidential Election between John Kerry and George Bush there were many on the left that pledged that should George W. Bush get re-elected that they would in turn move to Canada. Though often times the comments were made somewhat tongue ...
