ZORRO THE GAY BLADE - this blade is dull by desslok Pros: Nothing springs to mind
Cons: Offensive, boring and stupid. And the A/V on the DVD sucks. There are characters that have transcended their initial creation. Folks like Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, Batman - and most recently, Doctor Who proved that it could work for an all new generation. These characters are timeless, able to reinvent ...

"It Came Without Packages, Boxes and Bags!" How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by befus Pros: The Grinch, Max, Cindy Lou Who, Seuss, Jones, Karloff...the whole Grinchy bunch
Cons: Some choppy commercial edits Everybody knows that when it comes to Christmas crankiness, Ebenezer Scrooge, prior to his ghostly encounters on Christmas Eve, is the undisputed king. But if anyone can give ol' Ebenezer a run for his money in the bah-humbug-I-hate-Christmas mood, it's ...

The Best of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe — The Power is Here! by elvisdo Pros: Great nostalgia; good price for two disc set; nice extras

Library Propaganda? A Big Slice of My Childhood: The Pagemaster by JiggyJay Pros: Mac, animation, music, themes, fun
Cons: A little scary? A little short? You decide. Ah...the year was 1994. School was easy, I was five, and Macaulay Culkin was the coolest kid on the planet. The Pagemaster was a big deal growing up because it was the bee's knees. You weren't cool unless you saw this (childhood was tough). It was ...

McDonagh Brings His Dazzling Array of Talent To The Big Screen by JiggyJay Pros: Fantastic cast, McDonagh's direction and script, darkly humorous yet deeply dramatic
Cons: Some stuff might be offensive A huge sleeper hit of 2008 happened to be In Bruges, the first feature film from Irish playwright Martin McDonagh. He's known for his darkly comedic stage productions and this film is no different. It blends both together in a black mass that's ...

Laying Down the Law by spelvini Pros: classic western with Widmark as the bad guy
Cons: a little too much by-the-numbers There are some fine points to admire in this well-written reaffirmation of the myth of the Old West, which also riffs on loyalty and the way criminals define the code of laws governing society. The old poetic notion that good triumphs over evil is ...

I'll Take Manhattan by spelvini Pros: well-crafted melodram with Joan Crawford and directed expertly by Otto Preminger
Cons: It's basically a noir soap opera If anyone ever thought that Joan Crawford wasn't one of the most striking women in cinema with an overt sex appeal, the film Daisy Kenyon is a boost for the woman who was in her early forties when it was made but is visibly shown as a beauty under the ...

The Myth; Jackie Chan's messy epic doesn't fly too high at all. by ChrisJarmick Pros: Well produced, colorful Jackie Chan with lots of flying and sword fights.

"I Will Not Buy This Record, It Is Scratched" by captaind Pros: Excrutiatingly funny in places...
Cons: ... but definitely less so in others. The fearsome and terrible Dark Lord of the Movies category (I speak of She Who Must Not Be Named, who we know as Millinocket but whose real name has been lost in the vagaries of time) recently rapped my knuckles with her virtual ruler and chastised me ...

NOT A ONE NIGHT STAND by kirbylee Pros: A fun film for the entire family.
