"The X-Files" Plays The "Millennium" Card With "Unruhe" And Mulder Gets Character With "Paper Hearts!" by wlswarts Pros: "Paper Hearts" is an awesome character episode, "Unruhe" is damned creepy
Cons: Pacing in both episodes, Medium "The X-Files" in its fourth season had some real competition from its sister series "Millennium" which was in its first season (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/conten

It's Nice Yet Unoriginal by enzayxvii Pros: -Wide cast of characters to care about
-Mystery of the promise keeps attention
Cons: -Nothing new to see in this show -Characters are mostly archetypes Someone looking for a fun time and a little romance should watch the anime Love Hina. The show is easily accessible as a mysterious, light-hearted, action-filled romance with points of drama intersperced.Keitaro Urashima, the protagonist of the ...

Two Losers Become Role Models by andaryl Pros: Funny, well scripted, touching
Cons: Not a family movie Every once in a while you go to watch a movie because there’s nothing better to do, and come out pleasantly surprised. That was the case with Role Models. It has a premise that looks like it’s been done before, the jokes seem familiar, ...

Spend Time with the Brilliant Tommy and Tuppence in "Partners in Crime - Set 1" by befus Pros: Warwick and Annis; Dinsdale; feature length film that kicks off the set
Cons: Production values of the series episodes don't look quite as dazzling as the film Sometimes when I love certain characters, I hesitate to watch movie or television adaptations of the stories in which they appear. Even if a film is done very well, I often find myself initially disappointed that the character as portrayed on screen ...

"Pretend This is a Seed." "But It's a Rock." by carstairs38 Pros: Endearing characters in a fun story
Cons: The grasshoppers could scare young kids When most people discuss their favorite Pixar films, A Bug's Life doesn't seem to get mentioned a lot. That's a shame. The film may be 10 years old, but it is still funny and entertaining today.The story revolves around Flik ...

Clean and Very Entertaining. by badbonz0007 Pros: Exceptionally well done voice acting and clean movie.
Cons: You can't go wrong with this movie. If your kids like animal movies this is the one that you should let him watch. This is a very nice wholesome movie about a superhero flying dog that tries to catch a villain that wants to take over the city and the world, by using his genetic ...

"I don't think the dead care about vengeance." by onaploppable Pros: Decent cast and a strong director in place to try and hold the mess together.
Cons: As above; it's a mess. Anticipation is a funny thing. It can either make or break a film in my opinion. And, with such a trusted franchise as the James Bond series, it's impossible for anticipation to be avoided. Casino Royale (2006) was well received in the most-part, ...

An Indi Bio-Pic that never quite makes it in any direction by paulsavage Pros: Alejandro Polanco
Cons: All other actors, pacing, inconsistent story About 2 years ago, I got into a Netflix “category.” You won’t find it listed anywhere but it is independent (usually) films carried entirely by prepubescent children (I will list them in a comment if anyone is interested). ...

Where Is Grandma Dorothy To Say "'27 Dresses' Is Dumb?" by wlswarts Pros: One great line, Industry average DVD bonus features.
Cons: Not funny, Not clever, No great character moments, Not terribly well-acted Every thousand reviews or so, I find occasion to trot out one of my fondest childhood memories, which involves my (step-)Grandma Dorothy. Dorothy is now in her late 90s, still spry and with-it and she has always been a vocal commentator on politics and ...

The Wages of Watching This Movie is Boredom: House by Mike_Bracken Pros: Starts out okay, if very cliched.
Cons: Puts the religion cart in front of the good story horse. House, the Christian horror flick opening this week (based on a novel by Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti), is a perfect example of why mainstream media fans don't like Christian entertainment. I didn't want to get off on a rant about Christian ...

Teen Angst: The Haunting of Molly Hartley by Mike_Bracken Pros: None
Cons: Boring, predictable, and filled with melodrama. Movies like The Haunting of Molly Hartley remind me that even just reviewing genre films means I'm going to sit through an inordinate amount of crap. I knew I was screwed when this thing opened cold (ice cold, even-I don't think anyone saw this ...

“Ginger Snaps” A Howling Good Time by tarryrob Pros: Innovative, imaginative, well acted, scary, funny, great makeup, great direction and script.
Cons: Cliche ending - language, gore, nudity and explicit sexuality may not be for everyone. “Ginger Snaps” takes the old cautionary tale of Little Red Riding and turns it on its furry ear. Instead of Lon Chaney Jr. howling at the moon and chasing poor unsuspecting girls through the woods - enter the Fitzgerald sisters, Ginger ...

Funny but Unmemorable Espionage Hijinks Abound in Get Smart. by chelledun Pros: Get Smart is certainly watchable.
Cons: It's probably not rewatchable. Sometimes, I love Steve Carell. Specifically, I love strange, hilarious The Office/40-Year-Old Virgin Steve Carell. Not so much the annoying, slapstick Evan Almighty Steve Carell or the overly sentimental Dan in Real Life Steve Carell. ...

THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES SEASON ONE - Made for children, but smart enough for adults! by desslok Pros: A wonderfully well written, intelligent, well acted production.
Cons: No commentaries, either here or on Season 2 of Torchwood? What's up with that! For those of you just catching up - from 1963 to 1989 (and a couple of false starts thereafter) the BBC ran an immensely popular family program called Doctor Who. The main character is called The Doctor, a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. He ...

...And Alienate It Does. by anderz  Pros: - Occasionally funny.
- Megan Fox as eye candy. Cons: - Unlikable protagonist. - Misses a lot of potential comedy. - Lazy romatic sub-plot. I always though making friends was the hard part. I’ve never really had a problem with trying to lose friends, let alone alienating them in the process. Yet director Robert B. Weide seems to think we need a “how to” guide on this social ...

A Lively Internal Debate over Burn After Reading by Goatius Pros: Malkovich and McDormand are terrific, very funny moments, great poster
Cons: A bit unfocused, the ending is a let down, not Clooney at his best Hello, America. My name is Joe and I'll be the moderator for tonight's debate. At issue is the Coen brothers recent film Burn After Reading starring George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Brad Pitt, ...

Never Grow Old. Never Die. Never Anticipate A Straight To DVD Sequel 20 Years Late. by gb_slice Pros: Um...the Coreys (not nearly enough), music (a reminder of how good the original is)
Cons: Story, leads, acting, dialog, pacing When I heard "Lost Boys - The Tribe" (the sequel to the 1987 flick that did for vampires what "Top Gun" did for pilots) was in the works, I was happy, but somewhat leery. When I heard that the two Coreys would reprise ...

What is truth? by tmamone83 Pros: Beautiful cinematography; powerful story that makes you think
Cons: If you don't like subtitles or movies that make you think, skip this one. The movie begins with a heavy rain falling on the gates of Rashomon. A woodcutter and a priest sit staring at the rain. "I don't understand," says the woodcutter, "I just don't understand." Soon a traveler stops by, and the priest and ...

"House of Damned" Beyond Repair by tarryrob Pros: Some nice scenery and location shots. Decent period costuming and props.
Cons: Poor script, formulaic plot, low tech special effects and mediocre to bad acting. Given that Roger Corman attached his name to this production, I had high hopes for this film. Corman directed many memorable low budget horror flicks in the 1960's. I particularly enjoyed his adaptations of Poe's stories such as `The House Of Usher,' and ...

Watchable Western by tarryrob Pros: Good direction and acting - Willie, Waylon , Kris, and Travis Triit are great fun!
Cons: Big plot holes, 2 dimensional villains, sterotyped characters, cliche dialogue and formulaic plot. Bill Corcoran's film OUTLAW JUSTICE aka THE LONG KILL lacks the style of Sergio Leone, the spectacle of John Ford, or the rawness of Sam Peckinpah, but it is nevertheless entertaining and reflects the work of all these fine directors. ...
