Tropic Thunder
Vulgar Comedy Superimposed Onto a Very Cleverly Structured Story!
by Elliekedward
Pros: Very carefully rendered character arcs and story development.
Cons: None worth bothering with.
This is a comedy that comes around very rarely. Frankly, I can’t think of a comedy that has such broad appeal and yet shows all the distinctive signs of having spent almost two decades in story development. Stiller said that he began thinking about ...

Breaker Morant
Rule 303
by spelvini
Pros: great adaptaion of stage play on a small but vital element of war
Cons: no hope
There's something that can be very gripping with a courtroom drama.  TV series like The Defendants, Perry Mason, LA Law and many others thrive because of the nature of uncovering the truth.The court is a place where we feel justice is blind ...

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Whozawhat
by jackiechad
Pros: Great animation and designs
Cons: Confusing story
Some people swear by Final Fantasy. I’m not one of those. I have barely a passing knowledge of the series from a little bit of playing and a love for the piano adaptations of the soundtracks, but mostly from friends who live and breathe the stuff ...

Casino Royale
James Bond Rebooted, "Casino Royale" Still Isn't All It's Cracked Up To Be.
by wlswarts
Pros: Decent amount of action, Moments of character, Acting
Cons: Still largely predictable, Nothing great as far as DVD extras go
I was standing around Barnes And Noble the other day, pointedly avoiding writing the reviewing "Casino Royale," which I had watched days prior, when I stumbled upon Roger Moore's autobiography. In it, Moore described a scene from his first film as James ...

X-Files - Small Potatoes/Gethsemane
A Lackluster Episode And A Killer Season Finale: "Small Potatoes" and "Gethsemane!"
by wlswarts
Pros: "Gethsemane" is riveting and intense, "Small Potatoes" is amusing and well-acted
Cons: "Small Potatoes" is somewhat pointless with a terrible special effect.
Years after a series rises and falls, it is sometimes hard to go back through and recapture the excitement of what it was like to see it the very first time.  As I speed through "The X-Files," I have been caught both by how wonderful a show it was ...

We Own The Night
We Own The Night : Walhberg and Phoenix can't make up for a dull script.
by ladyconsumer
Pros: Starts out OK, with a decent premise, and a nice cast.
Cons: But can't get over its bad script.
We Own The Night is a mixture of police drama and family drama set in New York City, in the 1980's.  The Grusinsky family is as divided as a family can be.  Dad (Robert Duvall) is the honorable, much-decorated Police Chief.  ...

Legends of the Fall
Brad Pitt In A Love Triangle? At Least He Keeps It In The Family.
by coldsteel7
Pros: Acting, Writing, Character Development, Dialogue and Cinematography.
Cons: None.
Legends of the Fall was released more than a decade ago.  However, it is a timeless classic with plenty of twists and turns.  With a star studded cast, breath-taking scenery and superb writing, this film was destined to become a ...

Here on Earth
Here On Earth- Sappy and Stupid
by lyoness913
Pros: None
Cons: Acting, plot, directing, everything
In 2000, a most horrible drama/romance was made called Here On Earth.  Starring the ever-weirder looking LeeLee Sobieski and her full-of-wonder gazes (which looked more like deer in some halogen headlights), we are immersed in a tacky love ...

Manda Bala
Money Corrupts Brazil
by Bounty628
Pros: Good use of interviews in the documentary.
Cons: There are times when the film becomes too artsy.
Though often times we might hear about the political corruption that takes place not just in our own country but other countries around the globe, it is not an everyday occurrence that we are brought into the close confines of the corruption that is ...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Try to Remember a Time When You Enjoyed Star Wars
by kristina_kim
Pros: Action sequences are incredible.
Cons: The rest of the movie is not worth watching.
In 1977, a movie came along that blew audiences away.  It was the dawn of a new era, where epic storytelling could be brought to the big screen, conceived and executed in a way unimaginable before.  Perhaps for the worse, there's less of a ...

Pros: It's a great translation of the book.
Cons: The book was not that great to begin with.
Every once and a while, there comes along a movie with a message that is so powerful it resonates with an entire generation, uplifting it to the status of instant classic and permeating pop culture until people become utterly detested at anything having ...

Lindsey Buckingham - Live at the Bass Performance Hall
Lindsey Buckingham... live!
by knotheadusc
Pros: Excellent DVD makes this CD/DVD set worth buying. Lindsey Buckingham's still got it.
Cons: Sometimes Buckingham sounds a little fatigued and tormented.
Leave it to my husband, Bill, to find new and interesting music for me. A few weeks ago, he presented me with Lindsey Buckingham's 2008 Live at the Bass Performance Hall, a CD/DVD set featuring Fleetwood Mac's star guitarist and occasional ...

Cons: Not much in the way of extras on the DVD.
What do you get when you take three of the biggest stars of the blaxploitation genre (who's initials aren’t Pam Grier), an Italian director well versed in just about every genre of B-movie under the sun, a rousing score from Jerry Goldsmith score and a ...

Nip/Tuck - The Complete First Season

Pros: Addictive, great acting, interesting, and good storyline.
Cons: Not for children. Involves nudity and vulgar language.  Adult content. Very graphic.
Imagine watching a show and not being able to go to sleep because you are so wrapped up in it.  This is exactly what happened to me when I first started watching Nip/Tuck.  Even if the medical field is not an interest of some people they will ...
