I'm Not a Big Fat Panda... I'm THE BIG FAT PANDA!!!! by thevoid99 Pros: Direction, Screenplay, Animation, Visual Look, Music, Editing, Action, Themes, & Voice Cast.
Cons: Minor Story Plot Devices. Since the arrival of computer-animation in films that became big with 1995's Toy Story from Disney and Pixar, a new wave of animation emerged. For rivaling studios, it gives them a chance to delve into the new technology as Dreamworks Studios ...

No Wave Forever! KILL YOUR IDOLS by xxxxer Pros: Riveting subject matter; stylish approach; great live footage; interesting interviews
Cons: Some notable omissions from the film; significant focus on contemporary bands The New York City music scene has been the subject of much discussion over the years as it has been the starting point for some of music's most abrasive genres. Punk music got some of its influence from bands like The New York Dolls and The ...

Comedian Gaffigan by zacory2713  Pros: Family Friendly
Cons: A little short I thoroughly enjoyed this movie featuring comedian Jim Gaffigan for many reasons, but the main reason is obvious: Jim Gaffigan tells jokes. Not political jokes like your Jon Stewards and your Lewis Blacks, and not humorous stories like your ...

Jeremy Irons Takes Out Cronenberg's Garbage by JiggyJay Pros: Jeremy "Iron Man" Irons is ASTOUNDING, some creepy/cool imagery

He Was Beautiful. He Was Perfect. He Was Blue. by coldsteel7 Pros: Amy Adams. Thought-provoking. Interesting Use of Non-Verbal Communication. Subtle.
Cons: Sluggish at times. I do not remember seeing advertisements for Junebug, and I am not sure I would have watched it when it was released in 2005 based on the synopsis of this film. However, putting my faith in the sage advice of Netflex, I decided to add this ...

The Jacket - 2005 by susidee34 Pros: interesting work by Brody

Jordan Belson's Kaleidoscopic and Magical FIVE ESSENTIAL FILMS by xxxxer Pros: Five astounding, supremely gorgeous and quite trippy films
Cons: The experimental nature of the work may not appeal to some While I was in film school, I had the fortune of coming across many truly magical films that were produced in the underground and experimental film movements, most of which are ridiculously hard to locate outside of a film appreciation class. One ...

Brothers Grimm is a forgotten gem by solstar Pros: Action packed movie with an interesting twist on old fairy tales.
Cons: Does not have great reviews. It seems like people either love it or hate it. My daughter spent several days home sick so I had to find some movies to entertain her. One movie we have is The Brothers Grimm. I had watched it a few times before, but only partially. This time I was able to watch it uninterrupted and I ...

Dying for an opportunity by solstar Pros: This movie had an interesting story line. It was entertaining, though flinch worthy in parts!
Cons: Drug trafficking is a hard subject, though this film explains why mules make that choice. Maria Full of Grace also released under the Spanish Title María llena eres de gracia, lit. (which means Maria, you are full of grace), is an interesting portrayal of drug trafficking. It shows that things are not always what they ...

Viva Las Vegas...and The American Experience by JediKermit Pros: Good look at Las Vegas in 20th Century; interesting characters, good archival footage and photos...
Cons: Skips over everything pre-1930... I love Las Vegas. And sometimes, I hate Las Vegas. But even when I hate it, it's fascinating. This oasis of glitz and vice rises up out of the desert like a mirage, and whether you're there for business or pleasure, you're going to get ...

Hoary Hauer Star Vehicle by jsommersby Pros: Decent cinematography; couple of supporting performances.
Cons: Lazy and paced like a drunken snail. In the terminally dull Wanted: Dead or Alive, Rutger Hauer gives what must be the most somnolent performance ever by an actor in an action-hero role. As Nick Randall, a third-generation bounty hunter who lives in a giant L.A. loft, has enough guns ...

It's a very Muppety Christmas in Letters to Santa. by chelledun Pros: MUPPETS! Cute soundtrack.

The Muppets have previously excelled in the holiday genre, with A Muppet Christmas Carol being quite possibly the greatest Christmas movie of all time. A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa, originally aired as a 2008 television special, ...
