Redeeming the series one film at a time by musicc Pros: More plot than blood, interesting story, lots of new ideas developed
Cons: Confusing time line, poor dialogue for the most part I would call my self something of a Saw fan, I am not a die hard fan or anything but I have seen each film and enjoyed them to at least some extent. The original film will always be the best by far and established the series with its characters and ...

Raving About Roger Corman’s "The Raven " by tarryrob Pros: Stylish direction , hilarious screenplay, lavish production, and delicious performances by Price, Lorre and Karloff.
Cons: Though fine for their day, the special effects will appear dated to modern eyes. Raving About Roger Corman’s The Raven (1963) Every October my daughter and I pick up a few spooky movies to get into the Halloween groove. This year, I had the pleasure of introducing her to one of my all time favourite horror comedy ...

Is it the Average Indie Film or an Insightful Portrait?: Steven Soderbergh's BUBBLE by xxxxer Pros: Interesting context for the story; countless observations about modern existence if you look carefully
Cons: Marred by the prototypical indie-film plot line Bubble is the kind of movie that pans out exactly how you'd expect it to. To anyone familiar with independent film, Steven Soderbergh's work should provide no surprises, little in the way of flashy visuals, and would likely be forgettable in ...

Picasso repeating himself onto film by Stephen_Murray Pros: lively soundtrack and Parsons's commentary track
Cons: facile doodling, two pretentious DVD bonuses I remember enjoying Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1956 documentary "The Mystery of Picasso" years (OK, decades!) ago. Watching it again, I was not enthralled. The opening exclaims that we cannot experience Mozart writing the "Jupiter" symphony or Rimbaud ...

"Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye." by alexdg1 Pros: Good, if sometimes flawed, visuals; nice mix of sound and image; not kid stuff

Birth of the Arthurian Legend: The Last Legion by skbreese Pros: Action, Adventure, Cinematography, Soundtrack
Cons: Not historically accurate, Not a true epic The 2007 action/adventure film The Last Legion, has been widely criticized for it's lack of historical accuracy. However, this quasi-epic film, based on the novel by Valerio Massimo Manfredi, is not so much a historical drama, as an imagined story ...

Escape For An Hour And A Half With This Animated Distraction by coldsteel7 Pros: Great animation, strong voice overs, interesting dialogue.
Cons: Predictable. I figured it would be a good idea to go catch the early showing of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa on Veteran’s Day. It’s a Tuesday…my son and I would certainly have the theater to ourselves. Wrong. The line at the ...

One of my 10 favorites of all time. A MASTERPIECE! by rmurray847 Pros: Acting, writing, DIRECTING, cinematography, makeup, music.
Cons: NOTHING. As I sit down to write this review, my experiences with it from my youth came flooding back. I first saw it as a 17 year old high-schooler at my local movie theater, late one evening. I had seen, and enjoyed, the Broadway play a few months earlier, and ...

August Rush "... I believe in music the way some people believe in fairy tales." by t13monkeys Pros: great music, nice cinematography
Cons: dialog? what dialog? so-so acting August Rush, a romantic movie with a clear love of music has gotten rather polarized responses from audiences- often running head to head with viewers who belittled the movie for being trite and others who love it dearly for all the musical appreciation ...

A MUSIC LOVERS DREAM by kirbylee Pros: A great collection of live performances by fantastic artists.
Cons: Its just a taste so it leaves you longing for more. I've always been a music fanatic. For some reason I always seem to have music on no matter what. In the car, in the house, mp2 player, they're always up and running. I've collected music on vinyl, tape, disc and now online. And I've never limited myself ...

Just Another Tween Romance by jonathanlane89  Pros: Great animation, heartwarming story the way only Miyazaki can bring.
Cons: Too much tween romance, predictable, really cheesy at times. I hate to give anything by Ghibli a negative review, trust me it has NEVER happened before, but Whisper of the Heart is hardly as good as any of Ghibli's great films, such as Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies, and My Neighbor Totoro. The technical ...

Haunting Visuals Hide Badly Written Story by jonathanlane89 Pros: The most intense ten minutes of any film I've ever seen.
Cons: Bad acting, bad script, bad animation, really dated. Barefoot Gen is at the same time a compelling visual of the horrors of war and a cheesy soap opera; a devastating tale of courage and survival and a badly written one dimensional flick. Gen can be seen as the polar opposite of the epic masterpiece Grave ...

Godzilla on Steroids by jonathanlane89 Pros: Action packed fun.

You can't have it both ways by jonathanlane89 Pros: LOTS of great action.
Cons: Tries to be something its not. Rambo tries desperately to be something it isn't, a horrifying look at the brutality of war and its effects on a country and a run and shoot action film. Although movies have been done which blend action and war drama, such as Tears of the Sun 99.9% of ...

"QUARANTINE": "CLOVERFIELD" INSIDE ONE BUILDING by mike.holmes Pros: Jennifer Carpenter is ok
Cons: Weak script, not believable I suppose it all started with "The Blairwitch Project" and was expanded by "Cloverfield". The "it" I'm referring to is the single camera shot movie in which the photographer is part of the "live" action. This kind of film bothers many people ...

Not Enough Information by jonathanlane89 Pros: Some pretty good animation and music, interestinc characters and plot.
Cons: Not enough detail as to what is going on, felt very incomplete. First off I will let you all know that I have not yet seen the series which this OVA is based on, but rest assured I will do so as soon as I can. Japan is at war; with whom and for what reason is left entirely unexplained, but judging from the ...

A shame to waste such a good idea by jonathanlane89 Pros: Great action.
Some good characters. Nice battle scenes. Cons: Terrible acting and animation. Very dated. And to think at one time I enjoyed this movie. It's rare for me to go back and see an anime film I only slightly enjoyed, but I found some time and decided to watch this film again so that I could write a review on it. Unfortunately (or fortunately, ...

Oh, hell yes, this is a CLASSIC!!! Holds up REALLY well today. by rmurray847 Pros: Script, directing, ACTING.
Cons: VERY few. Early pace is slow because of "restored" scenes. It's difficult to look back on a film "classic" and try to review it through today's eyes...35 years later. It's always tempting to say, "Those effects were great...for 1973" or "imagine how that affected an audience...three decades ago." You almost feel ...
