NOT A ONE NIGHT STAND by kirbylee Pros: A fun film for the entire family.
Cons: None I can think of. Sequels are a tough sell in the end. Sure, people will rush to see them based on their love of the first film. But for the most part, sequels tend to fall short. Fortunately such is not the case with NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM: BATTLE FOR THE SMITHSONIAN. ...

A journey beyond human meaning and consciousness by texas-swede Pros: Great plots, unexpected twist and turns, mystical, scientifically plausible, no good/bad guy, ponderous ending.
Cons: You don’t know if the ending is tragic or wonderful. A lot of Science Fiction like, for example, Star Wars or Star Trek is quite juvenile. You have cartoon like space aliens that act and think just like 20th or 21st century humans as they fly between the stars as if that was as easy as traveling to the ...

Cecil B. DeMille's Epic Easter Film The Ten Commandments Plus Extras by jankp Pros: appealing visuals; score
Cons: a biblical soap opera that mostly irritated me and had suspect accuracy I wasn't going to re-review the 1956 movie, The Ten Commandments (a second effort by Cecille B. DeMille who never made another film because he died in 1959), for my Peregrine Ten write-off to celebrate my tenth epinions.com anniversary. I ...

Cons: Predictable ending; Vince Vaughn and his non-stop rambling can get a little annoying Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be the brother or sister of a saint? What if that saint were St. Nick? Fred Claus, a sweet Christmas comedy directed by David Dobkin answers this question. Fred Claus (played by Vince Vaughn) ...

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" Is Not Forgettable, But It Is Not The Unforgettable Film I Anticipated. by wlswarts Pros: Good character study, Moments of real humor, Good DVD bonus features
Cons: Somewhat predictable, Plays the same note over and over again. For the last few years, there have been very few comedies I have actually wanted to see. One of the few, though, was "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," and truth be told, I cannot remember why it was that I wanted to see it. I think it may have been on the ...

Mediocre - Decent but Tiesto Can Do and Has Done Much Better by groove1 Pros: Second half of the first cd, the second cd is listenable
Cons: Not perefectly mixed. Track selection is not stellar. First few songs on cd one. I've reviewed a few of the other mix cd's from the "In Search of Sunrise" series by Tiesto. The ones I've reviewed so far I have personally liked. However, the In Search of Sunrise 5 cd is mediocre and at times messy. First, let ...

Megadeth? More like "Meh"gadeth by metal_panda Pros: "Mastermind", "Disintegrators", "She Wolf"
Cons: Megadeth seems to be playing on valium The cover artwork for Cryptic Writings is nothing more than a bland test pattern on a solid grey backdrop (or black if you weren't one of the first 500,000 to buy it). Sadly, the blandness of the artwork is parallel to the music imprinted on ...

Expectations were mixed depending on who you talked to - many diehards felt Countdown was a slap in the ...

Major turning point for Harry Bosch by jenmnevada Pros: Story is a well woven character driven story rich in description.
Cons: None I can think of. Harry Bosch is a complex character, a rogue detective who knows the rules but also knows how to push them to the limit. Bosch must either be Michael Connelly's alter ego or the alter ego of someone Connelly knows intimately well. I am rarely so ...
