Kill Your Idols
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 ...

Jim Gaffigan - Beyond the Pale
Comedian Gaffigan
by zacory2713New Member
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 ...

Dead Ringers
Jeremy Irons Takes Out Cronenberg's Garbage
by JiggyJay
Pros: Jeremy "Iron Man" Irons is ASTOUNDING, some creepy/cool imagery
Cons: Slow, boring, cold
I had heard about Dead Ringers for a couple of years now, but never really had the reason to see it. I'm not a big fan of David Cronenberg aside from his newest ones starring Viggo Mortenson (A History of Violence and Eastern ...

Junebug
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 ...

About half way through The Jacket, I flashed back to an older 1980 movie, Altered States starring William Hurt. Although the concept is different, if was also vaguely the same. Placing someone in a controlled environment, completely delude ...

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
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 ...

Maria Full of Grace
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 ...

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 ...

Wanted Dead or Alive
Hoary Hauer Star Vehicle

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 ...

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, ...

Charming is not easy to quantify. George Clooney has it, but I can’t put my finger on why. Maybe it’s because Entertainment Tonight hangs on his every word, as though his Ocean’s Eleven crew subsidizes ...
