Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day: wicked, funny, and smart by telynor Pros: The cast and art direction, along with a bright script.
Cons: Not a one. This movie has been on my to-be-watched pile for some time, and with a day that has trapped me indoors, it seemed rather suitable to pop in a DVD and spend some time escaping. Besides, I will watch nearly anything with Frances McDormand in it, finding ...

The 1977 degradation of hockey comedy has new relevance by Stephen_Murray Pros: satire and the sadness of aging in a coarsening culture
Cons: longer than it needs to be, 1970s movies show 1970s fashions! My fellow Minnesota native George Roy Hill is best remembered for two movies he directed that costarred Paul Newman and Robert Redford, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969) and "The Sting" (1973). He went on to direct Redford without Newman in ...

If sudden, LOUD noises scare you...you'll be set! 1.5 stars. by rmurray847 Pros: Hmmm....let me get back to you.
Cons: Just...not...SCARY. Nor suspenseful. Nor tense. Nor credible. Nor interesting. Full disclosure: Review below was written after seeing the movie opening night in the theatres. My low opinion still stands!Lately, there have been a lot of PG-13 rated horror movies, most of which have drawn critical and public lambasting. ...

A great trilogy off to a great start by dolphinboy Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing In 1937, J.R.R. Tolkien, a philologist by trade, wrote a charming fantasy tale called The Hobbit. His publishers asked for a sequel and, after a few non-hobbit books, they specifically requested a hobbit sequel. Tolkien then began writing what ...

A Primer in 1960's Superheroing: The Filmation Adventures by JediKermit Pros:
Classic DC Comics characters, imaginative aliens and monsters, short episodes... Cons: Obvious narration, limited animation, no Batman... A few years ago, DC Comics and Warner Brothers started re-releasing Filmation's 1960's cartoons on DVD. Although that was too early for me to grow up with (I was all about the 1970's Superfriends), I was curious, and found that I really liked them. ...

Edward G Robinson makes this 2-film DVD worth getting by trailhound Pros: Edward G Robinson in Illegal. Early appearances: Jayne Mansfield_Robert Mitchum. Plot of Illegal.
Cons: The Big Steal was not very interesting. Both films are quite short. This DVD may be billed as a Film Noir Double Feature, but that is somewhat misleading. Only one of the films falls into that category (in my opinion). Nevertheless, the DVD offers a full night's worth of entertainment and includes one movie that is ...

An awesome film, a good film, and Stroker Ace by hbala Pros: Burt Reynolds, when his career was at its peak and his mustache at its... mustachiest...
Cons: Stroker Ace isn't representative of his best stuff... 3.5 stars for this one. Since this is a big deal to me, I'll first mention that none of these three films are presented in widescreen format. Before Schwarzenegger and Stallone, my go-to cinematic action dudes were Clint Eastwood and Burt ...

Troy: The Action Movie! by BaronSamedi3 Pros: Onslaught of action, sheer scope
Cons: Extremely stupid. Doesn't require the attention span of a typical epic Troy, when it was released, proved to be Orlando Bloom’s latest step in what is apparently becoming an inexplicable – not to mention completely doomed – quest to become the next Charlton Heston. Take a quick glance at his movie ...

Frothy look at theatre...and a stellar Annette Bening performance by rmurray847 Pros: Annette Bening. A real affection for theatre.
Cons: A languid pace occasionally tries the patience. BEING JULIA achieved what little publicity it did purely by virtue of the praise (and Oscar nomination) heaped on the performance of Annette Bening. She certainly earned the accolades. This is probably her best performance, in a career with several other ...

Enduring irritation...but a chance to see Daniel Craig in something NOT like Bond at all by rmurray847 Pros: A terrific opening 15 minutes
Cons: Dull and psychologically unconvincing thereafter. Mediocre performances. My wife and I went to this movie based on several glowing reviews we read from movie critics. We're fairly adventurous movie-goers...we frequent the "art house" as often as the multiplex. We like a wide variety. We like comedy, drama, romance, sci-fi, ...

Beauty in Shambles by reelponderings Pros: Atmosphere, some memorable performances and visuals, Tangerine Dream's score, strong beginning.
Cons: Narrative falls apart midway through, missing footage impedes plot development, some of the effects. "The Keep" (1983) is the little-seen second film by acclaimed director Michael Mann, and it is based on F. Paul Wilson's thrilling (and far superior) novel of the same name. As far as I know, availability of the film is limited to the point that it is ...

"I Think I'm Losing Myself"....Away From Her by gaelkm Pros: Touching story, excellent acting all the way around.
Cons: Could be quite depressing, depending on your frame of mind. This movie could have been very depressing and to a certain degree it definitely was, but I want to stress that the actors did an amazing job with their performances. This is a story of Fiona Anderson, wife of Grant Anderson, a retired college ...

A Space Monster With Your Coffee, Sir? by jsommersby Pros: Goofy and fun.

In Ridley Scott's extraordinary "Alien" a group of intergalactic space jockeys stumbled across thousands of two-foot-high eggs inside a derelict alien spacecraft marooned on a distant planet, and when one of their overeager crew got too close to one, ...

12 Steps to Beating Booze and Becoming a Better Hitman: You Kill Me by Mike_Bracken Pros: Great cast, good direction.
Cons: The climax is a bit predictable. One of the first things they teach aspiring screenwriters (right after the basics of Syd Field's three-act structure) is that the first five pages of your script better be fantastic or no one's going to read the next 85 to 115. Script readers are ...

Grandfather of Shock Rock - Alice Cooper on Blu Ray by shopaholic_man Pros: Good quality performance, excellent video.

Black eye makeup, dragons on stage, outrageous acts on stage, its all part of the show. Of course, it wasn't always so. The son of a preacher, Vincent Furnier, ...
