Pros: Decent acting by the two older boys.
Cons:

Overused plot, stock location, stock characters


Five Children and It< i>, no need to be clever, the title pretty much says it all. It is five syllables long, leaving 12 more for a haiku and either way you want to slice it, it is still tripe no matter how many ways I can mix a metaphor.< p> ...

Psycho II/Psycho III/Psycho IV: The Beginning
Cabin one fever: Three PSYCHO sequels in one package.
by deadmilkboy
Pros:

PSYCHO II is a delight, PSYCHO III is a grisly but amusing diversion.


Cons: PSYCHO IV is a drag, and there's no real bonus features.
In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho< i> proved an audacious and influential suspense film that was widely imitated but never equaled. The legacy of that film was so strong, that the idea of a sequel took an amount of time that may as well have been ...

Pros: Creepy, entertaining stories.
Cons: Stories aren't that long. One or two not as good.

Cons: Some flaws due to cut footage; editing.
The starring role of David "Mo" Rutherford in writer director Larry Cohen's The Stuff< i> is played by Michael Moriarty, an actor who much prefers over-the-top shenanigans to straight-laced, restrained screen acting. Yet this isn't necessarily the ...

My personal movie tastes include a wide range of genres. Westerns rank in the lower echelon of my personal favorites. Every once in a while, a classic western (like 3:10 to Yuma) comes along and captures my attention. But for every 3:10 there is a ...
