Warren Miller's Higher Ground - 2005
by susidee34
Pros: .....
Cons: .....
This is a weird takeoff from my normal viewing, but I do enjoy watching material related to the high slopes.  Even though I knew in advance that Higher Ground was not about climbing, I thought it would offer some good information about those ...

X-Files - Wetwired/Talitha Cumi
Scully's Turn To Get Doped Up/Mulder's Turn To Have A Family Member In Peril:"Wetwired"/"Talitha Cumi!"
by wlswarts
Pros: Scary, Clever, Moments of character, Moments of acting
Cons: "Wetwired" is a bit predictable, "Talitha Cumi" is rather expository
As "The X-Files" wrapped up its third season, I was in college and finally becoming a fan of the show. As a result, I distinctly remember watching the third season finale, "Talitha Cumi" and being excited about it. So when it was released on video, I ...

by jonathanlane89New Member
Pros: Acting.
Very creepy.
True to story.
Cons: Ending.

by jonathanlane89New Member
Pros: -Great music.
-Interesting characters.
-Great dub.
-Very funny at times.

I had mixed feelings about this show after I finished watching it last night; on one hand it isn't a perfect series and has some really obvious flaws that kept popping up over and over again. On the other hand those flaws seemed rather insignificant when ...

Midnight Meat Train
All Aboard! The Midnight Meat Train
by Mike_Bracken
Pros: Great atmosphere and direction.
Cons: Loses focus slightly in the second act.
In a recent interview, author, artist, filmmaker, and all around renaissance man Clive Barker stated that calling what happened to his film The Midnight Meat Train "tragic" was probably too strong a word. I suppose it is, in the sense that there ...

Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior
The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Bad Prequel
by phungus
Pros: Not many
Cons: Bad acting, boring action, lame special effects
I was a big fan of The Scorpion King when it came out a few years ago, mainly because I like The Rock. I know it's not that great of a movie and pretty lame compared to The Mummy series, but I thought it was a fun little sword and sandals ...

Pros: animation
heartwarming story
characters
funny and deep
Cons: Might make certain angry
Pixar has come of age my friends. Pixar has never made a bad movie, in fact I'd consider almost all of them to be a masterpiece, but none of them, before now, have tried to be anything more then emotional family affairs, not that there is ...

Pros: Lots of action and gore
Cons: Typical teen disaster movie.
Man, good thing I don't read all the reviews for a movie before seeing it, because I may have skipped over this film altogether. What is all the complaining about? How is this film anything but good? Sure it does get a little cheesy at points, hence why ...

Pros: Some good action and acting.

Romero has been watching too many zombie movies. Yes, I know, that sounds a little weird, the man who practically invented the zombie movie, and who's masterpiece Night of the Living Dead has served as the inspiration for every undead film since is ...

Bob Roberts
This Land Is My Land
by pmills1210
Pros: An insightful look at politics, with strong performances from Robbins and his ensemble
Cons: Some will always be easily led by those who play to people's fears
"Bob Roberts" is a film-within-a-film that takes a look at the rise of a man who seems unlikely to unseat a five-term incumbent. Tim Robbins stars as the title character, a right-wing folk singer who uses shrewd marketing in a campaign that stresses a ...

Dogma
A Ridiculous Satire That Entertains Throughout

Pros: Smith's writing, Solid acting, Interesting Satirical Elements
Cons: Possibly offensive to self-serious Catholics, Perhaps a bit long for a comedy
Now that I own this on DVD and have seen it several times I can say that Kevin Smith is a guy that makes some of the very most rewatchable films of all time. He writes in such a way that seems to make things just as enjoyable each time around. His cheesy ...

It's doubtful that 2008 and will be remembered as "the year of the zombies in strip club films", but it is sort of odd that we've had not one but two films exploring that very premise this year (in much the same way we had Volcano and Dante's ...
