An engaging if implausible tale of a boot camp on the hoof by Stephen_Murray Pros: cast, dialogue, action
Cons: requires frequent and concerted suspension of disbelief I was somewhat surprised to see that the 1972 kiddie western "The Cowboys" had 13 epinions, since my interest in seeing it was that it was adapted by (William) Dale Jenning (1917-2001) from his novel. Although I have not read it, it shares a focus on ...

Jack Bauer Tries to Save the Children by carstairs38 Pros: Action and real time suspense
Cons: Slow to start; predictable Thanks in large part to the writer's strike a year ago (And don't even get me started on that. Again.), we did not get a season of TV's thriller 24 last year. Of course, after the dismal sixth season, that wasn't necessarily a bad ...

The Rise And Fall Of "Q," Modern Trek's Most Intriguing Villain (Or Punchline). by wlswarts Pros: Some truly amazing episodes from the "Star Trek" franchise
Cons: Q gets dumbed down as the various series use him, No great DVD bonus features Some things just make me laugh when I encounter them. For example, when I came across the boxed set DVD for the "Star Trek" "Fan Choice" set featuring Q, I just had to laugh. Billed as the fan-favorite episodes (by fan voting) featuring the Q entity, ...

Adrift In Manhattan : Even in a crowd, you can be lonely. by ladyconsumer Pros: Terrific performances, interesting stories woven together.
Cons: Slow-paced, some themes will be disturbing to viewers. Adrift In Manhattan is about people who feel all alone in this world. Even living in a place as crowded as New York City, three people are all alone tonight. All have reasons to feel isolated, but all can be reached, by the right ...

"Vanity is definitely my favorite Sin." by thomaslifting Pros: A powerful insight into the human spirit.
Cons: The music did not compliment the film. A thought provoking story that entertains long after the film ends. "Devil's Advocate" uses the supernatural to give us glimpse into the corruption of society. The movie shows how much we can destroy our own lives by the greed and "Vanity " ...

EXPLOITATION CINEMA: CHINESE HERCULES/BLACK DRAGON - Kung Fu double header! by desslok Pros: I cant get enough of those old school grindhouse trailers!
Cons: The films are okay, but not outstanding. While I may have hated what Rodriguez and Tarantino for their retro exploitation throwback film Grindhouse (50 million dollars for a exploitation film? Christ, what these two spent on catering alone could have produced three blaxploitation flicks) , I do ...

Do You Hear the Rockies Calling? by williamjwhite Pros: Heavy on the action front, but with a nice mix of comedy thrown in too
Cons: It's a little too light on the story front Call of the Rockies (1944) Although this is technically the first movie in the Sunset Carson series, Sunset received second billing, and the top billing went to Smiley Burnette. Smiley does his typical comic sidekick shtick as he plays his best-loved ...

With a Family Like This...G*d Help Him. THE BOOK OF DANIEL by talyseon Pros: Brilliant writing, stellar acting, a great drama, with great humor.
Cons: This series was murdered by the small-minded. Perhaps the Websters are unrelentingly dysfunctional. The Book of Daniel (2006) This most excellent series was a brief flash across the dismal intellectually stunted wasteland that is television. It was intelligent, funny, and insightful. It was doomed.The story ...

Paradise Road to the Pit of Hell by LRai Pros: True story about WWII horrors in a Japanese prison camp for women and children.
Cons: Brutality against women, it's part of the true story but it's hard to watch. I love movies about true stories so when someone recommended I see this film I was all for it. I have to tell you that it was not easy to watch this movie and I don't think I could watch it again. I thought I knew most of the history concerning WWII, ...

Music and Kids by LRai Pros: Good music, Meryl Streep is worth watching, good concert at the end.
Cons: Too long, too predictable, no real depth or drama. Okay I like Meryl Streep and I believe she can become any person she wants to become. I totally believe her when I see her in a role. I love movies that are true stories, and this one is a true story about a violin teacher in Harlem. The plot is ...

"Apocalypto" is a Visual Masterpiece. by thomaslifting Pros: Shows the true realism cinema can reach.

"I've Got That Sinking Feeling..." "The X-Files" Descends Into Average Territory With The Sixth Season! by wlswarts Pros: Some fun, clever episodes, Moments of character

But the thing is, when the series begins to turn toward the common, it ...

Sometimes it’s enough to have a sweet story that allows the viewer to escape fro the real world for a while and root for the unlikely circumstances of the film’s heroine. Such is ...

Making a Fascinating Subject Completely Banal: Jack Baxter's BROTHER MINISTER by xxxxer Pros: An interesting subject
Cons: Poor presentation that ultimately diminishes the film's message The subject of Malcolm X is one that surely presents polarizing opinions. Universally, he is heralded as one of the primary figures of the civil rights movement, a philosopher hero of sorts of the era in which he lived. In the 1960s, Malcolm ...
