A surprisingly unscenic gay Filipino road movie by Ricardo_Ramos Pros: attractive, semi-clad Filipinos with no murders or suicides
Cons: disappointing scenery, wan comedy, slow start Fiipino movies tend to be too melodramatic for North American tastes, with lots of doomed, hopeless romances. Filipino gay movies tend to be heavy in scantily-dressed “macho dancers” who are gay for pay. The 2008 “Kambyo” ...

Texas Trailer-Trash Gothic: DVD of "Killer Joe" by Stephen_Murray Pros: cast, bonus features
Cons: very nasty goings-on Actor/playwright Tracy Letts (1965-) who won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his play “August: Osage County” has said his main influences are Tennessee Williams, William Faulkner, and Jim Thompson. I’d say that Thompson is the ...

Fractured Fetus Tales : THE UNBORN by xxxxer Pros: Murderous lesbians; pools of bloody fetal matter; Gary Numan music
Cons: Highbrow entertainment this is not Produced by the legendary Roger Corman, 1991's The Unborn has several quality elements but is sullied by a script that goes full scale bonkers around the halfway point and leaves the film wallowing in a chaotic netherworld between black comedy and ...

Losers making things worse for themselves in an Ontario motel/restaurant by Stephen_Murray Pros: the women
Cons: the men (except Pollak and Holden-Ried), script George F. Walker (1947-) is a prolific Toronto playwright. None of the titles of his plays from the years I lived in Toronto sound familiar to me, and I’m pretty sure that the first one I saw was the première production of his latest, the ...

Good Ol Freda – Meet The Humble Secretary To The Beatles by coldsteel7 Pros: Interesting, enjoyable, refreshing, intimate, fun.
Cons: None. You have probably never heard of Freda Kelly. Freda was secretary to the 60’s sensation The Beatles for eleven years. An impressive feat, considering the band was only around for ten. Freda was just seventeen when Brian Epstein ...

A Hand Up by topreviewerman Pros: Fine action.
Cons: Raucous music halfway through the end credits. A dead hand has the man down. Ex-military man "Victor" (Colin Farrell) has acquired a Russian machine gun with which to avenge of the New York mob his slain wife and daughter. He's also acquired a lucky rabbit's foot from his ...

Fede Alvarez Takes Us Back to the Cabin in the Woods in Evil Dead (2013) by Mike_Bracken Pros: Fantastic gore, nice homages to the original.
Cons: No Bruce Campbell makes this feel like an Evil Dead film in name only. Rebooting a classic horror franchise is no easy task – just ask Rob Zombie, whose take on John Carpenter’s seminal Halloween series still divides fans to this day. Now, imagine if Zombie had made the Halloween remake as the ...

"They're definitely not Swedish." by thewasp Pros: Patrick Stewart gets to really push his acting chops to the limit
Cons: Won't make as much sense to non-fans I have previously opined that Star Trek Generations is the best of all Star Trek movies but "First Contact" is not far behind. It opens with a flashback/dream sequence in which Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) recalls the time he was assimilated ...

Horror of Dracula by cdm72 Pros: Lee, Cushing, I like the changes to the plot.
Cons: Special effects weren't that special. Remakes, man. We’re all sick of em. It seems we can’t get away from them, though. And the more moviegoers complain about Hollywood’s lack of imagination, the more remakes and reboots we’re faced with. Some remakes are successful and spawn their own ...

One Dreadful Day by donkee Pros: I hated the movie a little less after reading the book...
Cons: ...but that still doesn't save the horrible plot, poor acting and terrible ending. The first time I saw One Day (released in 2011), I absolutely hated it. Though I wasn’t impressed with either the acting or direction, my main problem was with the plot itself (particularly the ending, which I found most ...

Deadfall - Gray areas in a black and white world by phungus Pros: Uses the setting well
Cons: The third act It’s not uncommon for a movie like Deadfall to go straight to video despite having an all-star cast that includes Eric Bana, Olivia Wilde, Kate Mara, and Sons of Anarchy’s Charlie Hunnam. I discovered this new release on Netflix ...

What would you do for a million yen? by seacow Pros: Different concept

The best aspects of Tiny Toons all rolled into one movie. 78% by electrohippy Pros: Good animation, solid gags, improves upon the TV show, and all around funny.
Cons: Some jokes are aged, some jokes could have been better. Since this is my first review of anything relating to Tiny Toon Adventures, I figured I should give you my stance on the show in general. Back in the 90's, this was one of my absolute favorite cartoons out there, and like any Tiny Toons fan back in ...

Evil Dead (2013) by nick7jq Pros: Does enough of an original take on an old concept to make it worthwhile
Cons: I couldn't connect to the characters for the first half-hour I rarely find myself going to movies anymore, but when I do I tend to enjoy the theater experience of horror movies more than anything else. Evil Dead is not a remake but kind of a new revisioning of the original 80's film. The structure of the film is ...

Two years can make all the difference by seacow Pros: Not too heavy on the technical details of time travel

Before The Rainbow by pmills1210 Pros: Weisz, Williams, and Kunis do their parts well
Cons: James Franco, much of the look and style Oz The Great And Powerful is a prequel of sorts that hit the big screen long after the screen classic The Wizard Of Oz. James Franco stars as Oscar "Oz" Diggs, a carnival illusionist in early 20th century America. He's not popular as an ...

Reanimated by seacow Pros: Great movie

WrestleMania 28 - The Rock Returns To The Ring by roheblius Pros: Two excellent matches

The original plan for WrestleMania 27 was to have the Undertaker face the then UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar as the main event of the show. Because Brock ...

Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant in 1960s Paris: Charade by trailhound Pros: Fun to watch. Good acting. Interesting plot. Hepburn never looked better.
Cons: Slow early on. Plot is a bit confusing. Seeing Audrey Hepburn wandering about 1960s Paris has a certain charm to it, especially when she is dressed like Jackie Kennedy, including those big O-O sunglasses. That is part of the attraction to watching Charade (1963), plus the film being a ...

Spinning Plates - Is Dining Out Nourishment Or Nurturing? by coldsteel7 Pros: Excellent concept, balanced, interesting, intimate.
