The Last Exorcism: - Cynism Won't Save You in the End by jeremy1456 Pros: Good Atmosphere, Great Story Format, Enjoyable Characters
Cons: The Ending is Terrible I've never been a big fan of films centering around demonic possession. The original Exorcist in my opinion is the single most overrated horror film of all time in my opinion, and in general I find the sub-genre to be either boring or ineffective. It ...

The Gold Standard for Superman by thewasp Pros: Lex Luthor's absurdity, Lois Lane's starstruck adoration
Cons: Temporal paradox at the end The 1978 "Superman" is not the best Superman movie ever made; that would probably be the Richard Donner version of Superman II. Superman III and IV are best ignored. But with a Superman reboot coming out next month, I wanted my girlfriend to ...

RISE OF THE ZOMBIES Sinks to New Lows. by talyseon Pros: There just aren't any.
Cons: There are just so many. Rise of the Zombies (2012) Directed by Nick Lyon The thing about Zombies is they can be scary, but when enough rot has set in, they just shamble along, are sort of pathetic, and stink. And that is an apt metaphor for this movie. It is ...

Unraveled high-profile embezzling lawyer profiled --complex, fascinating documentary by ChrisJarmick Pros: Shades of gray slowly revealed in this complex portrait of disgraced businessman/lawyer
Cons: slow unsensationalistic style and pace may bore some. 2011’s documentary Unraveled by Marc H.

Newly available early Kobayashi indictments of Japanese conduct and character by Stephen_Murray Pros: Nakadai, Kishi et al., strong social criticism
Cons: Not escapist (popcorn movie) fare I have seen a lot of films from a lot of places. At the turn of the millennium, I’d have laid claim to some special expertise on Japanese films, especially admiring some by Kurosawa. Mizoguchi, and Ichikawa. ...

Norman Lear's Cold Turkey: Greedy Iowa Town Goes Smokeless & Insane! by jankp Pros: Van Dyke and Newhart; rest of cast; great satire
Cons: Netflix oddly doesn't have it I was looking up Bob Newhart movies the other day after enjoying his stand-up comedy on the DVD Bob Newhart Button-Down Concert and found the 1971 comedy Cold Turkey, a breath of fresh air in two ways. First it's not your typical ...

A Nice Look at the Adult Entertainment of the 1950s by movieman234 Pros: Amazing cast, good production, awesome cinematography
Cons: Could have gone a bit longer. The 1950s were definitely a time of change, especially in the entertainment world. Television was becoming the norm, movie studios were losing audiences and the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union was starting to create tension. One of these ...

Doing to television production what "Singin' in the Rain" did to early sound movies by Stephen_Murray Pros: the dances, risking sourness in showing 1950s alienation after wartime solidarity
Cons: the songs, Kelly's narcissism From 1955, late in the twilight of the (Arthur Freed unit) MGM musicals, “It's Always Fair Weather” is a sort of sequel to the first Stanley Donen/Gene Kelly collaboration “On the Town” (1949) starting with three GIs — ...

A Lexicon of Bad Taste : GHOULIES 2 by xxxxer Pros: Enjoyably bad on occasions
Cons: A far cry from high-brow entertainment The first of (inexplicably) three sequels to the ugly, sub-par Gremlins-clone Ghoulies from 1985, 1987's Ghoulies 2 is a much better film in every respect, although that really isn't saying much. The story here seems much ...

Marked by cdm72 Pros: Good film quality.
Cons: Script, plot, acting. I don’t know if there’s an award for “least scary horror movie ever made”, but if there is, the Dustin Voigt movie MARKED should definitely be in the running. I’m not going to waste time trying to make this plot seem more interesting than it is; it’s ...

Bounty Hunters Gone Bonkers vs. Tumbleweeds from Hell : CRITTERS by xxxxer Pros: Bounty Hunters! Old School New Line Logo! Critters! Don Opper! wait what?
Cons: The repetition of "Power of the Night" is enough to make you nuts Though touted as yet one more rip-off of 1984's Gremlins, the 1986 sci-fi/horror film Critters stands as one of the best and most inventive films of the subgenre of killer, pint-sized creatures. After escaping from a deep space ...

Raiders of the Lost Beach : ANZIO by xxxxer Pros: Peter Falk is fantastic; Riz Ortolani's music at least gives the film some class
Cons: "Eoh buoy, that's gonna knock the hell outta my hemorrhoids..." On the surface, director Edward Dmytryk's 1968 war film Anzio seems like another in the line of epic battle pictures like The Longest Day or Battle of the Bulge. For the first hour or so, the film reminded me in many ways of ...

A Cult Classic in the Making: John Dies at the End by Mike_Bracken Pros: Excellent casting, great direction, stays true to the novel's spirit.
Cons: The end feels rushed, lots of great material got cut. In the pantheon of “unfilmable” novels, David Wong’s John Dies at the End was arguably right up there with William S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch in terms of the level of difficulty in adapting it for the screen. This ...
