Penelope
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 ...

House - Season 4
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 ...

Look Both Ways
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
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 ...

Hard Candy
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 ...

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
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 ...

Get Shorty
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 ...

Oliver and Company
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 ...

Dangerous Crossing
Not-bad B thriller given elaborate DVD resurrection

Pros: Joseph LaShelle's cinematography, Mary Anderson sly chambermaid

Cons: seemed a long 75 minutes
During the late-1940s, Jeanne Crain was a favorite of Fox Studio head Daryl F. Zanuck. She appeared in a string of successful movies (Winged Victory, State Fair, Leave Her to Heaven, Apartment for Peggy, A Letter to Three Wives, Cheaper by the Dozen and ...

Dance Me Outside

Pros: cast (especially Adam Beach and Michael Greyeyes); Miroslaw Baszak's cinematography

Cons: the viewer is made complicit with violent vigilante justice
The 1995 Canadian movie "Dance Me Outside" is better than the movies I wrote about for <a href="/content_5215330436"> Elvisdo's 2008 Canadiana writeoff</a> that did not star Adam Beach, and perhaps even the one that did, "<a ...

Last Man on Earth
More of Them for the Pit! -- Says the Last Man on Earth

Pros:

Vincent Price, a classic black-and-white film


Cons:

picture quality could be better, continuity issues


I have always admired Vincent Price and his many accomplishments. So when the opportunity arrived to by some of his films on DVD at a terrific price, I grabbed it. One of those movies is "The Last Man on Earth". If the plot sounds familiar, it's ...

Death Race
Jason Statham Shows Off His Muscles in Death Race

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 ...

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 IPCRESS File is a spy thriller based on Len Deighton’s book of the same name, and is the film that propelled Michael Caine into the realms of international stardom. Oh, and it’s a pretty good film, too... Harry Palmer, "Insubordinate. ...

While watching this movie, the song "Ooh Child" by The Five Stairsteps played somewhere in the back of my mind. 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 ...
