Mom and Dad the Boys on a Field Trip by msiduri Pros: Interesting and moving moments. Nice family moments, both in arguing and in agreeing
Cons: A worst, slightly preachy. Menachem Daum will tell you that he is proud of his sons, Akiva and Tzvi Dovid, both full time Yeshiva students living in Jerusalem. He doesn't want to change their lives, but hopes to broaden their horizons a bit. He's afraid that they're becoming too ...

"The Little Canadian," Ellen Page, Doesn't Want You To Watch Her Movies: "An American Crime!" by wlswarts Pros: Well-acted, Good mood, Necessary message
Cons: Thoroughly uncomfortable, No DVD bonus features, Unlikable characters Those who read my reviews know that I've been on something of an Ellen Page kick lately. Every now and then, I play into the hive mind and accept that one of the up and comers is actually all they are cracked up to be and Ellen Page seems to have ...

Cons: rather uneven and ambiguous Maria: Why won't you play men? Ned Kynaston: Men aren't beautiful. What they do isn't beautiful either. Women do everything beautifully, especially when they die. Men ...

"Come with me, my love..." (Collector's Edition DVD review) by deadmilkboy Pros: Pacino, Barkin and Goodman; a mostly engrossing, erotically charged story.

What happens when make-believe believes it's real? PAN'S LABYRINTH by talyseon Pros: Earthy and ethereal, this movie is haunting, heartwarming, and horrifying by turns.
Cons: This Faery Tale is not for kids. Pan's Labyrinth (2006) Directed by Guillermo Del Toro. A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamed of the human world. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and ...

Well I guess we can all get it up for Crank(our hands that is) by tiger62x Pros: Action packed and humorous
Cons: Violent, graphic, lacking in a true story. Occasional bad over-acting Jason Statham is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. It's not because he's such a great actor, because he's not. He's more like a modern day Clint Eastwood, or better yet James Coburn (of Magnificent Seven and our Man Flint fame, more aged ...

Yuppie-Stomping in Style or The Blair Godzilla Project by basesurge Pros: Decent (not great) giant monster busts up the city movie.
Cons: Glacier-slow start. Dull, annoying, interchangeable, Yuppie-Scum characters. Tired BWP production values. I'm a big fan of all those old Japanese giant radioactive monster movies: Godzilla, Mothra, and Gamara (who could forget Gamera...?). Can we have a little Confession Time here? I saw ...

Your Drink is Disgusting. Tell Me About It. by thevoid99 Pros: Humor, Pop-Culture References, Soundtrack, Themes, Drama, & Cast.
Cons: Some of the Humor is Forced & Some of the Drama Gets Heavy-Handed. When the fifth season of Gilmore Girls ended, audiences were in shock when the idea that the Gilmore Girls, Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, not together and in a huge rift seemed impossible. Yet, Rory's own emotional downward spiral over career ...

Jumanji - Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt Play a Magical Adventure Game by dragonfire88 Pros: Williams and Hunt. Fun entertaining movie.

Is the Stasi really the stuff of romantic fantasy? by mmori Pros: With poetic situations and well-crafted portrayals, the film explores many fine aesthetic issues.
Cons: The narrative lacks reality and develops into a detached, somewhat gratuitous fantasy. Seeing Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's "The Lives of Others" ("Das Leben der Anderen", 2006) had been on my "to do" list for some time when I finally saw it in 2007. (I started this review last year, but stalled out.) Widely lauded, it seemed ...

Cons: mean-spirited. pessimistic about where religions will take us Bill Maher's movie "Religulous" is about organized religions including Christianity, Islam, Mormonism, Judaism and Scientology as viewed by an atheist/agnostic. It even makes a brief foray into modern paganism and ancient Egyptian sects. Bill Maher ...

A goodhearted dolt makes it through some harrowing relationships and events by Stephen_Murray Pros: narrative voice, Crudup et al.

Matilda - this is no ordinary little girl! by captaind Pros: Great fun throughout, DeVito, Perlman and Ferris are hilariously revolting...
Cons: ... Miss "Honey" is just too sickly sweet... Matilda is a fun, family-friendly film based on the well-known Roald Dhal book. Matilda is a young girl who isn't wanted by her parents - and they let her know this at every opportunity. The parents in question - Harry and Zinnia ...

Aeon Flux - Charlize Theron in sexy costumes, and ... not much else. by captaind Pros: Some things were okay, Charlize Theron fans may be happy enough...
Cons: ... if you're looking for a good / exciting sci-fi film, just forget it. Aeon Flux is a futuristic sci-fi action thriller set in the twenty fifth century. In 2011 a virus wiped out 99% of the earth's population, with the remaining 1% being saved by the Goodchild brothers who developed a cure. This 1% now ...

Quantum of Solace (2008): The DC James Bond Grows Up Some More by Ed.Williamson Pros: The Bond Girl that ain't a Bondgirl.
Cons: Craig's Bond still has too much stoneface. We are being given a whole new paradigm on James Bond with the Daniel Craig incarnation of the British superspy. Whereas the icon was that created by the intrepid actor Sean Connery, and all who followed after him were variations on his theme, Daniel ...

Candy really is sweet by tiger62x Pros: Excellent ensemble acting, particularly great performance by Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish.
Cons: I actually cannot think of anything negative. I tried to not go into an ill-time posthumous gush about the genius of Heath Ledger. I still have not seen Brokeback Mountain, and knew his name as an actor however I could never really place the face. He has the unique ability of many of the most ...

Five middle-period Alain Delon movies by Stephen_Murray Pros: Delon, Signoret, Baye, Meurisse; locations, sets, cinematography, plotting/writing
Cons: "The Swimming Pool" moved too slowly for me Alain Delon (born in 1935) served in the French army in Indochina, ca. 1953, most of the time in the brig according to him. René Clement's adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley, "Plein soleil"/"Purple Noon," made Delon an international ...

THE DOCTOR IS IN by kirbylee Pros: A look at the REAL Hunter S. Thompson.
Cons: Perhaps more of a discussion of how he related to his story in film. On February 20, 2005, the end of an era was blown out not with a whisper but with a bang. Dr. Hunter S. Thompson chose that day to end his own life by committing suicide with one of the many guns he owned. It was a loss for a generation that grew up ...

I've always intended to watch it... one of these days, but other films kept pushing it back just a little bit. Finally, I put my foot down and just said "you know what? ...
