Plan 9 From Outer Space is Goofy But Not Completely Horrible by dragonfire88 Pros: Some mildly entertaining moments.
Cons: Bad effects. Bad acting. Horrible dialogue. I've heard several times about Ed Wood and how bad the movies he made are. I saw a little bit of Plan 9 From Outer Space on television once. I wasn't impressed, but I decided to watch the entire movie when I had the chance. ...

Can Male Models Act? Does Anyone Know? Does Anyone Even Care? by glvrican Pros: Male Models Seem To Be Acting, (Somewhat) Creatively Dark
Cons: Acting, Script, Plot, Cliche To The Point Of Laughter Wow! Male models acting? Who knew male models can act? Well, if you didn't, 2006's The Covenant proves so, but not well. Starring "actors" such as Taylor Kitsch, Stephen Strait, and Sebastian Stan (who?), The Covenant not only showcases the ...

Election - Triads electing new mafia boss by phungus Pros: Great direction, many memorable scenes
Cons: A little slow getting started Election is a very entertaining Chinese gangster movie about the Triad fighting over the election of a new crime boss. The box cover bears a quote from Quentin Tarantino saying, "The best film of the year." He had nothing to do with this movie, ...

Charles Coburn Dominates the Otherwise Mediocre Colonel Effingham’s Raid by Goatius Pros: Charles Coburn
Cons: Average acting at best otherwise, plot gets lost along toward the end Based on the novel of the same name by Berry Fleming, and feeling very much gutted because of its very brief running time, Colonel Effingham's Raid is set six years before it was produced in 1946, on the eve of the United States entry into ...

Obscene; Anti-censorship Evergreen, Grove Press smut publisher pioneer by ChrisJarmick Pros: Fascinating, important documentary reminding us someone fought for many of things we take for granted.
Cons: It's a fairly one-sided portrait of Barney. Meet Barney Rosset. He’s an extremely important nearly forgotten pioneer who changed the world, won several important court cases and made millions. Barney Rosset is not a household name but because he challenged the anti-obscenity ...

Killing Moon - It's killin' me! by bonnieleigh Pros: Very fast-moving, and thought-provoking plot with decent acting.
Cons: Ridiculous title for this prticular movie. Same passengers as on all on-screen airplanes. With a title like this, you might expect something to do with vampires or werewol es, but that is not at all what this movie's about. Though I suspect the science in this tale might be a little fantastical, there are parts of the plot that are ...

Shooting a documentary about gay Arabs and recognizing oneself as a gay Arab by Stephen_Murray Pros: verité feel/look, leads, bonus scenes & interviews on DVD
Cons: too many tight closeups, deleting scenes that should be in the movie I was pretty sure that I had seen the 2001 movie "The Road to Love" at a film festival back then. The back cover of Abdellah Taïa's Salvation Army mentioned that he ...

Man-made Disaster Movie: "Titanic" Is A Passionless Love Story That Sinks! by wlswarts Pros: Good peripheral performances, A few moments of character
Cons: Mediocre special effects, Predictable plots (not just the boat sinking), Contrived love story, Chemistry I'll admit it, I'm in the minority. I am not a fan of "Titanic." I saw it years ago and was utterly unimpressed with virtually every aspect of it. So, when I sat down to rewatch the film as part of my desire to see every movie that won the Best Picture ...

"Mr. Boddy. Dead...Again." by carstairs38 Pros: Funny comedy and a decent mystery
Cons: Can't solve mystery on your own; very adult for a PG movie I remember hearing about the movie version of Clue back in the 80's. By the time it came out, I was already a fan of the board game on which it is based. But I couldn't quite see how they would make a movie from the game work. ...

Speilberg gives World War II another shot and can't quite make it by musicc Pros: Excellent first scene and last battle
Cons: Everything about it is standard, overlong, failed emotions Although unanimously praised and won several Oscars, Saving Private Ryan to me is a fairly standard war film. It isn’t bad necessarily, just never really found it to be anything special. The opening scene is great and I love the last battle scene, ...
