Cons: The "new and improved" ECW is not quite the same...
In 1992, Tod Gordon would found Eastern Championship Wrestling, an upstart wrestling promotion based in Philadelphia and aligned with the storied National Wrestling Alliance, or NWA.  Following several years of putting on shows in a former bingo ...

Lord of War
How Do We Arm the Other 12?
by Bounty628
Pros: Great acting and a sensational plot.
Cons: None.
Some might have seen the tongue-in-cheek bumper sticker that reads, "Guns don't kill people, I kill people." There is something that oddly enough is quite profound in that statement since really it is the person with the gun in their hand that chooses to ...

Perfect Crime
Deadly rivalry in a Madrid department store
by Ricardo_Ramos
Pros: ending, Monica Cervera
Cons: tame and convoluted
I was going to close out the month/year writing about yet another disappointing gay movie, "Bangkok Love Story," but could not find it. I don't know whether the DVD is not in the datbase or whether the search engine cannot find it -- the result for ...

Slumdog Millionaire
Who Wants to Be a Slumdog Millionaire
by DrFaustus
Pros: vibrant, compelling filmmaking
Cons: a few logistical flaws in the film's framing story
The "rags to riches" story is undoubtedly one of the oldest plot devices known to man. If we were to put together some sort of timeline, the origins of "rags to riches" could probably be traced back to just a few short weeks after the invention of cloth ...

Xala
An over-reaching profiteer of "socialism, African style" gets taken down -- way down
by Stephen_Murray
Pros: sartorial details
Cons: slow and far more bitter than comic or satiric
(Obviously, the wrong image is here: there are no blondes in "Xala" and no speaking parts for the one white character who remains from the colonial era, but the product details for what shows up from searching "Xala" here are right.)"Xala" is a ...

The Incredible Hulk
The Incredible Hulk 2008
by yakkowarner
Pros:  Flows well, good special effects, plenty of action.
Cons:  Defies laws of physics, no psychological depth.
  This is one of the first pair of movies self-produced by marvel studios (Iron Man being the other one.) I believe their next self-produced film will be in 2010. And while I loved Iron Man, I wasn't as pleased with The Incredible Hulk. But don't ...

Best of Deathmatch Wrestling Vol. 3: The Legendary Japanese Tournament
1995 IWA Japan King of the Deathmatch Tournament: The One that Started it All
by xxxxer
Pros: The definitive DVD of the now infamous 1995 DeathMatch Tournament
Cons: Maybe too intense for mainstream wrestling fans
Having been introduced to the world of so-called extreme wrestling circa 1994 by watching Extreme Championship Wrestling on Sports Channel Philadelphia, I would like to say that I am more or less a connoisseur of the more violent style of pro wrestling ...

Pros: Some funny and shocking moments
Cons: many jokes go way too far and become arbitrary gross-out and outlandish
Howard Stern has declared himself the "King of All Media" because he knows how to get our attention - by making us wonder what he'll do next. He constantly says he is misunderstood and "Private Parts" is an attempt to show us the man behind the ...

Luther
Luther, very inspiring and well worth it
by kgetchelNew Member
Pros: Everything was well done
Cons: A few historical inaccuracies that only a medieval historian would catch.
Because “Luther” wasn’t long in the theaters or, for that fact in very many theaters, we didn’t get a chance to see it until it came out on DVD. It’s surprising because the all-star caliber of the cast (Jeff Fienes, Sir ...

What Would Jesus Buy?
Bottom Line: Jesus Does Not Approve of This Film

Pros: Effective for a few moments.
Cons: The message is shallow and can clearly be seen through.
I guess a good thing to take away from the film What Would Jesus Buy is the understanding that at least we will not all have to see bumper stickers and rubber bracelets adorned with the question in our local convenience stores on sale for ...

Tudors - The Complete First Season
Henry VIII in Never Land
by catu11us
Pros: Lush costuming and sets, as if good frills make a good show.
Cons: Good frills don't make a good show, and the rest is awful.
Showtime’s obviously expensive production of “The Tudors” has got its first season into circulation as a set of DVDs.  I have seen some advertising on this, and my first reaction was that any series portraying Henry VIII as a lean ...

A Sexy, True Story: How a Group of Undergrads Took Vegas for MILLION$

Pros: Gripping, edge-of-your-seat drama. Technically excellent.  Great acting.
Cons: Framing the story in the scholarship interview detracts from the realism somewhat, & isn't necessary.

Lamb Chop's Chanukah and Passover Surprise
Join Lamb Chop, Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy for Chanukah and Passover

Pros: Lamb Chop, informative, fun songs about Chanukah and Passover.
Cons: Too long to hold young children's interest.
As a child, Shari Lewis' Lamb Chop character was always one of my favorites.  She was basically a sock puppet made to look like a little lamb, and though she tried to be very sweet and innocent, she often got herself into minor trouble.  After ...
