Passion in the Pit : Hiroshi Teshigahara's WOMAN IN THE DUNES by xxxxer Pros: Acting; music and sound design; the cinematography is gorgeous
Cons: This most definitely is not Hollywood blockbuster-type film making While the film has a fairly consistent narrative and is generally easy to follow, Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara's 1964 Woman in the Dunes is another one of those pictures in which every viewer would likely walk away having gotten a ...

Love does not conquer all in Beineix movies, but is the only purpose of life by Stephen_Murray Pros: cast

"I Thought You Guys Broke Up." "We're in Couple's Counseling." by carstairs38 Pros: Character interaction is fully enjoyable
Cons: Mysteries are predictable but hold together Buddy cops and even dysfunctional buddy cops are really nothing new when it comes to genres. However, the USA Network took it to a new level with Common Law. The resulting show was never a strong mystery show, but it was a fun comedy. ...

Tom Cruise Goes Alpha Male in Jack Reacher by Mike_Bracken Pros: Cruise and the cast do their best to elevate the material.
Cons: The main revelation of the plot feels rather implausible. Tom Cruise is no stranger to casting controversies. When the actor landed the lead in the big screen adaptation of Anne Rice’s novel Interview with the Vampire back in the early ‘90s, fan outrage was everywhere (thank God we ...

Attack on Darfur: A Small Sample of a Tragic Story by countess_eva Pros: Important subject matter and focus, makes viewers care.
Cons: Too many camera tricks and extreme close-ups; doesn't give the historical context. Attack on Darfur was a bargain bin find that captured my interest because of the subject matter. At only $5 I figured that I didn’t have much to lose, and I was curious to see how a circumstance so tragic and steeped in decades of ...
