A robotic killing machine can make an awesome pal. by wildandfree Pros: The movie is quite funny, but it also makes you think.
Cons: There's not much science here, and the sweetness can get a little too much. "Short Circuit" tells the story of a robot, Number Five, who through a quirk of circumstances becomes self-aware and very much like a human. Created primarily for military purposes, Number Five has the potential to be a fearsome killing machine so ...

The Brief, Eternal Seasons by amfunee Pros: Inspired production, with sensitively handled themes, vibrant animation, color and music.
Cons: Some cloyingly sentimental bits that may work better for children than adults. There is perhaps no dramatic convention more sadly beautiful than the patterning of life and experience to the turning of the seasons, as new, green leaves turn golden, drop to the earth covered with snow that melts from patches of new green: the ...

Most People Respect the Badge. Everyone Respects the Gun. RIGHTEOUS KILL by talyseon Pros: The performances of Pacino and DeNiro.
Cons: Bloody, and mendacious, it does not paint cops in a good light. Righteous Kill (2008) Directed by Jon Avnet"You don't become a cop because you want to serve and protect. You join the force because they let you carry a gun and a badge. You do it because you get respect." ...

"A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea"... and Found Contentment in Friendship! by bethesdalily Pros: Entertaining film that presents classic childhood songs and lessons on friendship and cooperation.
Cons: Not terribly educational; magic overwhelms learning opportunities; frightening scene; geographical inaccuracies CUCKOO!
;
I shall never forget the day that my family acquired a rather elegant clock. For years, my parents had longed for a grandfather or cuckoo clock-anything that would regularly announce the time in an auditory manner. ...

Cabin Fever - 2002 by susidee34 Pros: scenery
Cons: story was weak You know how it is when you start what is obviously going to be some dumb slasher flick and you can’t wait to really rip it up in a review? That is how I started this movie recently shown on Sci-Fi. My experiences with them haven’t been all ...

The Duchess – Another Candle in the Wind by lindeisha Pros: Acting by Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes
Lavishly produced Cons: Another beautiful woman who falls victim to unyielding circumstances and men I am drawn to period movies with ultra-luxurious wardrobes, especially those featuring strong-willed women, so it was only a matter of time before I watched The Duchess, starring Keira Knightly as Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire. The movie, ...

Adam Sandler Wove Magical Bedtime Stories by dragonfire88 Pros: Fun, entertaining family friendly movie.
Cons: Could be too silly for some. Once some actors have children, they decide to make a movie, or several, that their children would be able to see. Some of those movies have been better than others. I was interested in seeing Bedtime Stories after the first ...

Marley and Me; Along With Some Laughs and a Lot Of Tears by popsrocks Pros: A fun film that's more than a slapstick dog. It's deals well with married life.
Cons: Too many sofas were injured and maimed in the making of this film. This review does introduce some of the storyline without leading to spoilers.My wife and I went to the movies today to see Marley and Me. She has been talking about it for a while noting that she read it was a good family film with the ...

The End of Suburbia - What Will Happen Once the Oil Runs Out? by AliventiAsylum Pros: interesting subject, much evidence presented, experts from across the political spectrum
Cons: disorganized, repetitive, doesn't really build on the sensational title What would it be like to live after the Hubbard Peak with world oil declining? I have this list of things: seven trillion dollars lost out of the U.S. stock market, two million jobs lost in the United States, federal budget surplus - gone, state ...

"Attention! There is a herd of killer rabbits headed this way " by xxxxer Pros: Definite camp value
Cons: The film is pretty awful all around In the annals of giant animal cinema, there have been plenty of truly bizarre offerings, case in point: Ray Kellogg's Giant Gila Monster or just about anything directed by Bert I. Gordon. That said, I'm not sure that any of these films ...

Don Cheadle is a Traitor! by andaryl Pros: Action Moments, Performances of Cheadle and Pearce
Cons: Lacks punch, a little too predictable It seems like the latest trend is to make a movie about terrorism. That makes sense since World War II and Vietnam spawned their fair share of movies. Terrorism and the ensuing events in Iraq and Afghanistan are certainly among the defining events of our ...

They Changed the Rules. by divad23 Pros: Flashforwards and some intriguing new characters from the freighter revitalize the storytelling.
Cons: Writers Strike cut the season short; Jack/Kate/Juliet episodes are a bit weak. It's that time of year again for devoted Lost fans - time to peruse the previous season for clues, dust off your ever-lengthening mental list of unanswered questions, reacquaint yourself with your favorite characters, and get geared up for the ...

What did I do to deserve this? by Ricardo_Ramos Pros: that I watched it on DVD, so could speed up wordless scenes
Cons: impenetrable accent (Winstone), mysterious characters and reason for relocation Besides being a question that the Tilda Swinton character must be asking herself at the end of the ugly movie directed by Tim Roth, "The War Zone," "What did I do to deserve this?" is a question I was asking myself much earlier. More specifically, why ...

How Can One Empathize With An Addict Teacher Who Has An Inappropriate Teacher/Student Relationship? by coldsteel7 Pros: Good chemistry between Gosling and Epps. Well constructed drama dealing with difficult issues.
Cons: Finished product not quite visually appealing. It has a documentary look, which was probably intentional. How Can One Empathize With An Addict Teacher Who Has An Inappropriate Teacher/Student Relationship? That is the question that this movie asks. Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden provide us with a script that does exactly that. The writers ...

P.S. I Love You - Swank and Butler give us some laughs and some tears by ladyconsumer Pros: Very touching story, terrific performances, great cast.
Cons: Grief is a personal issue, and others shouldn't try to rush you. P.S. I Love You is not really a romantic comedy. It's very romantic, and there's quite a bit of comedy in it, but mostly it's a drama. With some very sad, tear-jerking scenes. I think people should know this, going into the ...

"I was Takin' a Trip Out to LA..." or "You're Not From Around, Are Ya...?" by basesurge Pros: Pesci is fun as always. Decent and funny story.
Cons: Nothing serious. It's at least as old as "Easy Rider", the Hollywood trope of the Yankee traveler being waylaid by rednecks down in Dixie and ending up in some hellish jail, or worse. Think " ...

Cons: A Few Shot Set-Ups that Don't Work at Times. Of the many American auteurs to come out of the 1990s with a new take on cinematic style, Paul Thomas Anderson was a director who reinvented the ensemble films that were made famous by the late Robert Altman.

Outrageous Humor - Sandler at his best by andaryl Pros: Adam Sandler and his slapstick comedy
