Penelope Is Pretty Special, Pig-Nose or Not by bilbopooh Pros: family friendly, fantastical feel, Peter Dinklage
Cons: absurdly over-the-top at times Three years ago, I discovered James McAvoy when he portrayed Mr. Tumnus, the faun Lucy befriends in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Since then, he has been one of the actors whose inclusion in a movie can be enough to make it a must-see, as ...

Season Four of House Presents Some More Medical Mysteries With Hugh Laurie by three_ster Pros: it's a great show, some very funny episodes, further character development, new actors/characters this season
Cons: none This was the fourth season of the medical show House on the FOX Network, and it shows that the writing for this particular drama just keeps getting better and better as the seasons progress. So much so, that they even gave House the Super Bowl treatment ...

Where there's always at least two ways of looking at something. by mayapan1942 Pros:
Script; acting; directing; story. Cons: Accents and/or sound quality might confuse.
With more than just a nod to Paul Anderson's Magnolia (1999) and Tom Tykwer's Run, Lola, Run (1998), long-time animation writer/director, Sarah Watt, has produced an engaging montage of mini-stories all interwoven over a hot, lazy weekend ...

Titanic sinks like an algae wafer by queenbee75 Pros: Good movie to watch on a boring Saturday at home.
Cons: Perfect for women who drool over Leonardo DiCaprio. This movie was not only too long, but the romance was way overdone and got to be repetitive. You can only take the sentimental nature before you get tired of Winslet and DiCaprio's constant fawning of each other before the boat sinks. It's easier to view ...

Conviction Before Trial, The Slow Execution Of "Justice" In "Hard Candy." by wlswarts Pros: Good DVD extras, Exceptional acting, Well-written and directed
Cons: Not at all entertaining, Deeply disturbing, Utterly gruesome Every now and then, I encounter something as a reviewer that I find so horrific and grotesque that my kneejerk reaction is to pan it into oblivion and strongly recommend against seeing it. The thing is, there are some works which are terrible and ...

Brilliant parody of the Mafiosi code as a contrast to the ancient samurai code… by mayapan1942 Pros: It's another weird and wonderful Jim Jarmusch film. 'Nuff said.
Cons: None for me, but may be too slow and weird for others. Let me be blunt, up front: this is not Jarmusch's best movie to date. From my perspective, Dead Man (1995) still holds that honour. But, it is very good, reducing the menace of the mafia to a group of aging and doddering ...

Words really do hurt by seacow Pros: …

Lonley… So lonely… by seacow Pros: …

An engaging caper movie that also satirizes the Hollywood scene. by mayapan1942 Pros: Story; casting; script; directing.
Cons: None for me. I saw this movie in 1995 when first released, but never got around to thinking about a review until I saw it again a few weeks back on late night TV. I'd forgotten just how good it is... From a novel by Elmore Leonard, this story is ...

Disney Heading for the Right Track by sweaver Pros: A solid film with music and good action.
Cons: Not quite a classic. Still something missing. Disney was trying to get their movie animation department started again. The "nine old men" who had been the backbone of the animation studio since the early days had passed from the scene, and the movie-making group had fallen on hard times and was ...

Jason Statham Shows Off His Muscles in Death Race by dragonfire88 Pros: Entertaining action movie. Statham looks good with his shirt off.
Cons: Not much character development. Plot could have been stronger. Editing at times. I do like action movies in general, and I see a decent amount of them. Sometimes I still enjoy them even when the plots and characters aren't that strong. I was interested in Death Race when I first saw a trailer and I recently had the ...

This ain't no Gentle Ben!--Grizzy Park may be the best Bear movie... by jbrd Pros: Extremely entertaining, they used a real bear, incredible twist at the end.
Cons: A slow spot. Bears aren't scary. Plain and simple. I do not find them scary at all, even if they were roaring. However, being right in front of one, sure, but not in movies. Killer bear movies have always been bad. I haven't had much experienced with them, but after ...

~~ THE AFTERSHOCK OF BRANDO ~ JAMES DEAN STARRING JAMES FRANCO ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: James Franco, great acting, exciting, endearing, magical

I have a soft spot for the legendary James Dean, and watching young James Franco (Freaks and Geeks) bring him to life touched my heart ...
