Frailty

Pros: Unique plot. Creepy movie.
Cons: Not as scary as I thought it would be.

Over the last several years, I have started to really like scary movies. I don’t mean gory, slasher type movies like the Friday the 13th movies. The type of scary movies I like are movies like The Sixth Sense and The Others, that ...

Pros: It'll leave you thinking. Lots of night-time. Bill Paxton's performance.
Cons: Not since Memento have I ever racked my brain like this!

Lame Limerick of the Day
Down, down, down comes the axe
And the skull, it haphazardly cracks
Watch for the wind
And if you've ever sinned
Don't turn your backs on B-Pax.

That's right, Bill Paxton's...

Pros: Tone, pace, scoring, acting, storyline.
Cons: none

Note: I meant to put this in the video/DVD category and it went to theaters instead - couldn't figure out a way to fix this, but I'm trying!!

I really like a good thriller (even a mediocre thriller will do in a pinch). The traditional...

Pros: Thought provoking movie, with solid acting and direction
Cons: Disturbing, with unanswered queries

Have members of the Meiks family been given a mission from God, or are they merely obsessed, psychopathic, ax murderers? That question is never answered in “Frailty,” and perhaps there is no answer. “Frailty,” though, treats any conclusion in a logical...

Pros: good acting, direction, suspense, and it actually makes you think a bit.
Cons: after it should have ended, it went on another 6 or 7 minutes.

As bold a directorial debut as I've seen in quite a while - though he's had plenty of time to study while acting under some masters over the past decades - Bill Paxton's Frailty is both genuiniely chilling and surprisingly well-crafted. If it...

Pros: Paxton as director and actor, McConaughey, the boys, the musical score
Cons: not a whole lot, unless implied violence bothers you

Want to see a movie that OUGHT to scare you? Let me tell you about Frailty, a simple movie, with some excellent performances and a chilling story. If nothing else, it will make you a think twice about making a list, even if you do check it twice!...

Pros: Great cast, lots of twists
Cons: Slow moving, some things are too obvious

Frailty stars a Texas-born trio of actors: Bill Paxton, Matthew McConaughey, and Powers Boothe. Paxton makes his directorial debut. Since he is a veteran of many James Cameron films, among others, I went into this movie with high hopes. While Frailty...

Pros: One of the finest horror thrillers of the last five years.
Cons: Go see it and decide for yourself!

Any movie buff worth his salt knows who Bill Paxton is. To some, he's the whiney-yet-courageous Hudson from Aliens while some fondly remember the actor from Weird Science - as the evil big brother who gets turned into a disgusting green...

Pros: Excellent performances, twisted story, chilled delivery.
Cons: Last 10 minutes could have been cut.

From the guy who brought us such classic lines as "In case you haven't been paying attention to current events, we just got our asses kicked, pal!" and "I have to lie to women to get laid. And I don't score much. I got a really small dick,...

Pros: Good suspense movie, little gore, lots of imagination.
Cons: The title

Ever heard the Lord talken to ya? Ever seen a vision? I'm sure I've had one vision as a teen, a vision of Mary and Jesus against a stained glass window. My immediate thoughts were, "Lord, I'm not ready to go!" Then again, it could have been a vivid...

Pros: Brutally suspenseful, frighteningly possible
Cons: Occasional cliche'd lapses

Reports say that Son of Sam serial killer David Berkowitz was driven by voices emanating from a neighbor's dog, to commit his horrible crimes. The validity of this, of course, cannot be disputed or verified, but it never really brought into question,...

Pros: Seriously good direction, clever plot, genuine intrigue, great turns from the cast
Cons: The conclusion is close to not working...close...

There's something about an axe murderer that's a little bit more frightening than other forms - not that I have a great deal of experience of course. But I suppose if you recount the way you've felt when watching a movie about said subject, the firing of ...

Pros: twistin', turnin' thriller
Cons: too much happens at the end,you might yawn in parts

For those who have gone through sunday school, chapel services, catechism, Judaistic studies, or just a quick read-through of the Bible, you probably know the story of Abraham and Isaac. Abraham is told by God to sacrifice his son Isaac because God...

Pros: Excellent acting and directing, creepy atmosphere, great twist ending.
Cons: A little slow-paced at times.
