Star Trek: Into Darkness -- and Beyond? by rmthunter Pros: Everything. Seriously.
Cons: Details, details. . . . The last Star Trek movie I saw was, aptly enough, The Wrath of Khan. (I suppose that's a spoiler. Live with it.) Let me say right off the bat that Star Trek: Into Darkness is not that, and Benedict Cumberbatch is not ...

Norman Lear's Cold Turkey: Greedy Iowa Town Goes Smokeless & Insane! by jankp Pros: Van Dyke and Newhart; rest of cast; great satire
Cons: Netflix oddly doesn't have it I was looking up Bob Newhart movies the other day after enjoying his stand-up comedy on the DVD Bob Newhart Button-Down Concert and found the 1971 comedy Cold Turkey, a breath of fresh air in two ways. First it's not your typical ...

After Porn Ends - Retiring from the sex industry by phungus Pros: Very candid interviews
Cons: Doesn't focus much on the negative side of things After Porn Ends is a documentary about what happens to porn stars after they get out of the business. It shows the human side of the porn industry and explains how some people got involved. I thought it was interesting even though I didn’t ...

Star Trek Into Darkness - Benedict Cumberbatch Makes a Chilling Villain (No Spoilers) by dragonfire88 Pros: Cumberbatch. Entertaining story. Good effects.
Cons: Entirely too much lens flare. Star Trek first began in 1966 with the original series. It lasted for three seasons before eventually being followed by a series of major movies and other television shows set in the Star Trek universe. I have seen some of the ...

The NEW "Star Trek II"......Or is It? by silentrascal Pros: Fantastic visual effects & action sequences. Excellent ice-cold villain. Exciting and action-packed.
Cons: Borrowed too heavily from other films. Enough with the fanboy nods already. I have literally just walked into my house (10 minutes ago) after having come from a matinee of Star Trek Into Darkness, director JJ Abrams follow-up to his 2009 hit reinvention of the film series based on the classic 1960's science fiction tv ...

The LAPD Witch Project by shadow8 Pros: Superb acting, gritty down-to-earth style
Cons: Sometimes relies too much on broad stereotypes. “I am the police, and I'm here to arrest you. You've broken the law. I did not write the law. I may disagree with the law but I will enforce it. No matter how you plead, cajole, beg or attempt to stir my sympathies, nothing you do will stop me from ...

A Nice Look at the Adult Entertainment of the 1950s by movieman234 Pros: Amazing cast, good production, awesome cinematography
Cons: Could have gone a bit longer. The 1950s were definitely a time of change, especially in the entertainment world. Television was becoming the norm, movie studios were losing audiences and the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union was starting to create tension. One of these ...

Doing to television production what "Singin' in the Rain" did to early sound movies by Stephen_Murray Pros: the dances, risking sourness in showing 1950s alienation after wartime solidarity
Cons: the songs, Kelly's narcissism From 1955, late in the twilight of the (Arthur Freed unit) MGM musicals, “It's Always Fair Weather” is a sort of sequel to the first Stanley Donen/Gene Kelly collaboration “On the Town” (1949) starting with three GIs — ...

A Lexicon of Bad Taste : GHOULIES 2 by xxxxer Pros: Enjoyably bad on occasions
Cons: A far cry from high-brow entertainment The first of (inexplicably) three sequels to the ugly, sub-par Gremlins-clone Ghoulies from 1985, 1987's Ghoulies 2 is a much better film in every respect, although that really isn't saying much. The story here seems much ...

STAR TREK: Boldly Going Into Franchise Rebooting by bigtruckseries Pros: Special Effects. 3D efects. Story. Villain.
Cons: Some cheesy moments. I somehow managed to avoid the trailers, spoilers and Facebook promos leading up to Star Trek: Into Darkness’ premiere yesterday. I spent $16.50 per ticket to see the film in 3D. I would hate to spoil this film for you if you haven’t ...

An Ivy Leaguer Gets a Circus Education in Water for Elephants by bilbopooh Pros: compelling story, great performances
Cons: very brutal at times “I’m the kid who ran away with the circus; now I’m watering elephants.” This line from the Buddy Mondlock song The Kid sprang to mind right away as I watched the 2011 drama Water for Elephants, in which ...

Marked by cdm72 Pros: Good film quality.
Cons: Script, plot, acting. I don’t know if there’s an award for “least scary horror movie ever made”, but if there is, the Dustin Voigt movie MARKED should definitely be in the running. I’m not going to waste time trying to make this plot seem more interesting than it is; it’s ...

Star Trek Into Darkness - Equal to or Better than the first movie by rivendell66 Pros: Fast paced, thrilling, deep at times, some great acting. What's not to love?
Cons: There is absolutely, positively, no downside to this movie - just go and see it. Wow. It is 1 a.m. and we just got home from watching this movie, after standing in a very long line for a very long time because two shows were sold out, but I forgot my sore feet and aching knees roughly 15 seconds into the movie. Here's my disclaimer: ...

Bounty Hunters Gone Bonkers vs. Tumbleweeds from Hell : CRITTERS by xxxxer Pros: Bounty Hunters! Old School New Line Logo! Critters! Don Opper! wait what?
Cons: The repetition of "Power of the Night" is enough to make you nuts Though touted as yet one more rip-off of 1984's Gremlins, the 1986 sci-fi/horror film Critters stands as one of the best and most inventive films of the subgenre of killer, pint-sized creatures. After escaping from a deep space ...

Raiders of the Lost Beach : ANZIO by xxxxer Pros: Peter Falk is fantastic; Riz Ortolani's music at least gives the film some class
Cons: "Eoh buoy, that's gonna knock the hell outta my hemorrhoids..." On the surface, director Edward Dmytryk's 1968 war film Anzio seems like another in the line of epic battle pictures like The Longest Day or Battle of the Bulge. For the first hour or so, the film reminded me in many ways of ...

A Cult Classic in the Making: John Dies at the End by Mike_Bracken Pros: Excellent casting, great direction, stays true to the novel's spirit.
Cons: The end feels rushed, lots of great material got cut. In the pantheon of “unfilmable” novels, David Wong’s John Dies at the End was arguably right up there with William S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch in terms of the level of difficulty in adapting it for the screen. This ...

Even Better Than Watching The Game Show by johnenfield Pros: High production values and replayability.

That is part of the attraction of this TV game show that has outlasted a move 'across the pond' from England, one host change and several format changes ever since it came out in ...

Radley Metzger's First High Society Nudie Film : THE DIRTY GIRLS by xxxxer Pros: Well made and photographed; a fairly amusing diversion with a decent amount of T&A
Cons: Seems too goofy in some respects; probably would disappoint those looking strictly for nudity By the early- to mid- 1960s, low budget producers had begun to slip elements of not-so-subtle sexuality and glimpses of nudity into their films while mainstream Hollywood continued to tease away without really showing anything. The trend on the ...
