Unsolved Mysteries: Bizarre Murders - A Crime Junkie and Conspiracy Theorist's Wet Dream by AliventiAsylum Pros: good selection of segments, some with updates
Cons: lack of digital clarity, some segments almost twenty years old Back in the 1980's, before there was The X-Files or Ghost Hunters or even America's Most Wanted(it actually first aired a year before AMW premiered), there was Unsolved Mysteries. Narrated by Robert ...

The Sisters Reunited by prairiegirl16 Pros: Warm, pleasant film about growing up featuring four great actresses.
Cons: Not quite as good as the first film. I was a huge fan of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and although this sequel doesn't quite match the magic of the first film, it still is very satisfying, warm, and touching.The films are based off the popular young adult novels of the same ...

Slap Shot - One Of The Top Sports Films Ever by AliventiAsylum Pros: raucous humor, great acting, authentic ice scenes
Cons: what's happening to the town is depressing, especially now When people think about great sports movies, the ones they usually mention are about football and baseball. You might get some to think of Chariots of Fire or Hoosiers, but in general baseball and football are in the forefront of people’s minds ...

They Don't Make Movies Like This Anymore - Thank Goodness by edmaidel Pros: Lavish, colorful and occasionally exciting.
Cons: Loooonnnngggg; over-acting on the part of Ustinov; Taylor horribly miscast. I probably saw Quo Vadis upon its initial release, but I would have been only 6 or 7 years old at the time, and most likely would have fallen asleep throughout most of the first half of the film. I'd like to say that I was ...

Even A Poor Medium Can't Hold Back These Great Episodes Of "The X-Files!" by wlswarts Pros: Some great episodes, Some great acting, Developing characters, Bonus feature
Cons: Medium, One lesser episode I have been rewatching the episodes of "The X-Files" and the truth is, the more I watch, the more I am impressed by the ambition of the show in its early seasons. After a remarkably rocky start, "The X-Files" branched out from a horror series into one ...

Nice Pecs! (not): 300 by George_Chabot Pros: It only lasts 117 minutes
Cons: Not much truth 300 (2006) As a history buff I had to finally see 300 and once I did I had mixed feelings. The movie was quite well made visually, and about 90% of it was computer generated. The story, acting, and music was very questionable ...

Deceptively Bad by thomaslifting Pros: Ewan McGregor plays a good nerd.
Cons: The acting, directing, and the whole production. Good potential story line, but it took a sloppy trun for the worse. It seems like someone just wanted to make a movie with a mysterious sex club, so they took a couple of known actors (Ewan McGregor & Hugh Jackman) and threw ...

TAKE A HARD RIDE - Hard Ride goes down real easy! by desslok Pros: Great action that doesn't ever let up and a good cast
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 ...

Why Do You Want to Dance? by thevoid99 Pros: Direction, Script, Set Designs, Visual Effects, Cinematography, Music, & Cast.
Cons: None, Though Young Audiences Might Feel the Visual Effects are Dated. One of the greatest cinematic teams in the early 1940s through the late 1950s were the British directing team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. The writing, producing, and directing team created films that were unique in their take on war and ...

“Fantastic portrayal of great men” by thomaslifting Pros: Amazing telling of one the greatest moments in history.
Cons: Not a family movie. I have never read Frank Miller's graphic novel of "300", but that doesn't mean I can't have a very full opinion of this movie. Just to say, I love this movie in so many ways; it's truly one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in years. I have ...

The original "Bosom Buddies" plus Marilyn Monroe (Collector's Edition DVD review). by deadmilkboy Pros: Two-disc package of a cracking romp with a great screenplay, direction and cast.
Cons: I couldn't rate the extras higher than four stars, so I may have been disappointed. This is my last submission to Captain D's The Good Movies Epi Guide 2 write-off. Special thanks to everyone who submitted and congrats to the Captain for getting over 200 contributions, and I was happy to be in the top five: ...

Katherine Heigl Lights Up the Screen in This Rather Ho-Hum Flick by vemartin Pros: Katherine Heigl
Cons: The story has been done and done some more. For the longest time I resisted the urge to watch 27 Dresses the latest movie by uber-blonde Katherine Heigl. Resisted because I knew what I would be getting and it would be nothing new, nothing particularly engaging, witty, or ...

Before there was a McDreamy, Patrick Dempsey was McDorky by jurgrace Pros: Young Seth Green, Classic lines, Funny
Cons: Kind of cheesy when you look back at it I'm sure most of the younger generation knows Patrick Dempsey solely as Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd, from the hit t.v. show Grey's Anatomy, or as the Amy Adams' knight in shining armor from Enchanted. Some slighly older folks ...

Jules may not have chuckled, but I did by sojournseeker Pros: A fun learning aversion from the original, visually entertaining
Cons: Not enough character development of Jonas, the nephew The cast, the plot, and the length (4 hours when it appeared on the Hallmark cable channel) was satisfactory and somewhat like the original but I am not doing a comparative analysis; rather I am seeking the reason why this third made for television ...

Horrible Things Happened On The Way to the Sun by vemartin Pros: Visually stunning, a special effects masterpiece.
Cons: Lack of character development. I like Science Fiction; especially those stories set in cold reaches of outer space. There is something about outer space that holds an endless fascination for me. So when I heard about Sunshine (2007) a futuristic movie about a ...

Scifi Classics: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (15/50) by cdm72 Pros: Not one.
Cons: Where to begin? I don’t even know where to begin. The title of this movie is SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS. Where do you go from there? What more is there to be said? Wow. I mean . . . wow. In this 1964 “classic”, Kimar, leader of the Martian people, is ...

Gavin Hood's Rendition : When it comes to terrorism, where do we draw the line? by ladyconsumer Pros: Very moving story, some terrific performances, visually appealing.
Cons: Some really good actors were under-utilized. Rendition was an eye-opening movie for me, as it brought to light a very real situation going on in the world, today. A situation I sort of knew about, but never spent much time thinking about. I'm referring to "extreme rendition", the ...
