Pros: either highly intelligent or totally insane Cons: n/a
Two years ago I started writing movie reviews for Epinions, not because I thought I was a wise person or that I had any unique outlook to the movie scene. I wrote simply because I loved movies, have always loved movies and obviously always will.

Max Cohen is either crazy or a genius. He basically sits at home all day and looks for patterns in the stock market. Max also suffers from severe headaches and delusions. In most cases, he’d be dismissed as some math freak in need of some serious ...
Science fiction has always been a genre known for big-budget special effects and high ambitions. Then in 1998, a little-known film made for $60,000 became a cult hit that year while establishing a director who would later become one of the most ...
Pros: Production, direction, ideas. Cons: Some weak acting.
Darren Aronofsky's Pi is the best headache that you'll ever receive. The film's grainy cinematography, flanged soundtrack and schizophrenic editing are all designed to simulate the experience of Max Cohen (Sean Gullette), its insane and ...
Pros: Intelligent film, awesome cinematography, original and creative soundtrack, style is consistent with its theme, "Geeks" of all sorts will relate to it Cons: May not relate to all people
I was browsing the DVD shelves this past weekend, debating which film I would take home with me and all of a sudden I ran across Pi, which may be filed under the P's or more properly under the numerical section. Instantly, my choice became a...
Pros:promises much · involves mathematics · intelligent black-and-white cinematography · soundtrack works with visuals Cons:delivers little · protagonist’s central epiphany doesn’t make sense?

Just got done viewing Darren Aronofsky’s Pi, the independent 1998 hit. I had a chance to see it during spring ’99, when Matt, a fellow math tutor at York College, mentioned a screening. Busy with the...
Pros: A clever and professional independent film... Cons: ...until an ending is required.
"On the contrary, I believe firmly. I believe the universe is a great symphony of numerical correspondences, I believe that numbers and their symbolisms provide a path to special knowledge. But if the world, below and above, is a system of...
Pros: Interesting to look at, exceptionally well- written, and wonderfully acted. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!! Cons: Camera technique TOO effective...I got a headache from it.
One may wonder sometimes if there is a pattern to every system in the known universe: The system of nature, the system of life, et cetera. Was our world created in a manner that every acknowledgeable aspect has a mathematic repetition, allowing the...
Pros: Aronofsky's ultra-literate filmmaking engages the viewer on many levels. A smorgasbord of food for thought. Cons: Somewhat fanciful diversifications in plot. For some the harrowing forays into dark surrealism will disturb.
Well, hello there fellow Epinionators, it has been a while. May I begin by offering my most profuse and heartfelt apologies for the lateness of this entry into JuiceJW's Future of Hollywood Write Off. Three weeks is pushing it some I know. I shan't go...
Pros: Decent acting, Interesting elements Cons: Characters are dull, Derivative story, Pace is too slow to be considered a thriller, Pointless

) ...
Pros: It's intelligent, fascinating and quite interesting. Cons: Lots of people don't like B & W independent movie that much.
Pi is a stark and hypnotic little black-and-white independent movie that has more brains in it than an entire summer of Hollywood junk. Yeah, I love the Hollywood junk too, but sometimes your brain needs a meal too.
Pros: Interesting, intense, experimental, and complete Cons: stark, limited appeal to most audiences, requires your full attention
While most of us may scratch our heads and utter What the h--?there are those that understood every word, phrase and nuance in this strange flick (his first feature) by Darren Aronofsky. I was glad I had already watched REQUIEM FOR A DREAM...
Pros: Weird (good way...). Unique production values. Maybe thought provoking Cons: Weird (bad way...). Off-putting production values. Maybe give you a headache.
