All that I’d heard was that many critics and even regular folks were calling it great, and it was making steady money at the box office. I ...

The Last Exorcism: - Cynism Won't Save You in the End by jeremy1456 Pros: Good Atmosphere, Great Story Format, Enjoyable Characters
Cons: The Ending is Terrible I've never been a big fan of films centering around demonic possession. The original Exorcist in my opinion is the single most overrated horror film of all time in my opinion, and in general I find the sub-genre to be either boring or ineffective. It ...

Mary Tyler Moore, Season 7: "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" by befus Pros: Incredible cast; witty writing; a strong end to the series
Cons: It had to end It’s a great part of television history that the iconic Mary Tyler Moore show, known for its great writing and acting, had a hard time getting off the ground. When it first began to air in 1970, critics and television executives were not at all ...

Star Trek: Into Darkness - Haven't We Been Here Before by AliventiAsylum Pros: excellent acting, dazzling effects, great story, good tying together of old and new universes
Cons: unrealistic action sequences, missing something at times When Star Trek went into “re-boot” mode a few years ago, I was immediately skeptical. After all, this was *my* Star Trek that I’d grown up with; that I’d wait to come on in re-runs every night at 6PM and ...

The Gold Standard for Superman by thewasp Pros: Lex Luthor's absurdity, Lois Lane's starstruck adoration
Cons: Temporal paradox at the end The 1978 "Superman" is not the best Superman movie ever made; that would probably be the Richard Donner version of Superman II. Superman III and IV are best ignored. But with a Superman reboot coming out next month, I wanted my girlfriend to ...

RISE OF THE ZOMBIES Sinks to New Lows. by talyseon Pros: There just aren't any.
Cons: There are just so many. Rise of the Zombies (2012) Directed by Nick Lyon The thing about Zombies is they can be scary, but when enough rot has set in, they just shamble along, are sort of pathetic, and stink. And that is an apt metaphor for this movie. It is ...

Spielberg's War Horse Pays Tribute to Four-Legged Soldiers by bilbopooh Pros: beautifully filmed, touching story, exciting journey
Cons: very hard to watch at times I’ve always been a sucker for a good horse movie, and anything directed by Steven Spielberg usually piques my interest, so even though I generally avoid war movies, 2011’s War Horse had been on my radar for a while. I got to watch it this week ...

Where Trek Has Gone Before - A review of Star Trek Into Darkness by Diversity646 Pros: Fantastic casting and directing. The story is rife with gems for Star Trek fans.
Cons: Not as fun as its 2009 predecessor. As a trekker, I take great delight every time a new Star Trek movie hits the big screen. This last wait – almost four years – was almost too much to bear, especially since we were originally promised this film for ...

Jackie's Journey To Brooklyn by pmills1210 Pros: Boseman, Ford, Holland
