Sion Sono's: Beautifully ugly film about the effects of trauma. by Monnie1976 Pros: Brilliantly done, vibrant, deep and shocking story
Cons: Disturbing and at times grotesque film. After seeing the odd, but unbelievably interesting Suicide Club from direction Sion Sono I knew it would be long before I would seek out another film from this Japanese director. I’ve seen the aforementioned exploration of suicide and ...

Powerful psychological thriller from Germany: Antibodies. by Monnie1976 Pros: Suspenseful, chilling, intelligent

Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control is Harmless Fun by dragonfire88 Pros: Mildly entertaining.
Cons: Silly and weak plot. Warner Brothers did something a little different when Get Smart was released in 2008. A second movie was made focused on two of the minor characters. The movie, Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of ...

So Sappy Sweet It Makes Corn Syrup Seem Bland by coldsteel7 Pros: Some decent music, conceptually interesting, good dialogue, enjoyable.
Cons: Sluggish, weak characters, sappy sweet, unbelievable. I had serious problems when watching August Rush. The underlying story was hard enough to accept...talk about amazing coincidences stacking up. But that was the general concept behind the film...something like the stars lining ...

Good basis for a rejuvenated film series by dolphinboy Pros: Special effects, several performances, action
Cons: A few characters need tinkering, and the villain was missing something. For those of you unfamiliar with anything Star Trek, this is a movie about space exploration, inter-species relations, and Earth’s security and status in this quadrant of the galaxy, set far into the future. The original series was on television in ...

Lightweight (borderline silly) Hong Kong romantic comedy with Sammi Cheng and Louis Koo by Stephen_Murray Pros: attractive leads, amusing supporting characters
Cons: uninspired sword fights and practice The romantic comedies codirected by Johnnie To and Wai Ka-Fai tend to oddness such as Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng in fat suits in “Love on a Diet” (2001) and Lau in a muscle suit as a ...

A Serious Man -- Professor Gopnik Can't Find the Right Formula by driftless Pros: Nice balance of pathos and dark humor. Unique take on the mid-life crisis story.
Cons: How many mid-life crisis movies are there? It was a recipe for a cinematic disappointment. The Coen brothers - who never seem to lose the secret formula for unwavering critical acclaim - released A Serious Man, a film with a boring title that was purported to be less humorous and ...

Sherlock Holmes - Not Nearly As Smart as I'd Hoped by naphtalia Pros: depiction of London. the score. well done action sequences

I've been eager to see this film since I saw the first trailer for it. I was open to the possibility that with Guy Ritchie directing, this wouldn't be a typical ...
