Found money. What an amazing concept. You do no work, you sacrifice nothing, you just get money for no reason. Even things like the lottery don’t really count, because you have to make that small investment, have that small hope that you may win ...

Pros: Great tragedy, wonderful performances, nice cinematography...COLD Cons: Depressing....which can be good if that's what the filmmakers want to invoke.
And "A Simple Plan" is no Shakespeare. But it was a very well-written, well-performed movie that is a crushing tragedy, leaving you pondering "what might have been".
A friend has been singing praises for "A Simple Plan" since it came out, and...

"MONEY...SHARE IT FAIRLY, BUT DON'T TAKE A SLICE OF MY PIE" A classic line from a classic early 70's tune by a little band named Pink Floyd. Heard of 'em? In case you don't know, MONEY was Floyd's biggest hit single. Why do you think that is? Other...

Pros: Characters that seem very real Cons: Watching the inevitable
Ah, the lure of easy money... What would you do if you found a bag full of money? Better to the point, what would you do if you found 4.4 million dollars? Just Imagine, there you are having a great time with your bother and his friend and somehow you...
Pros: Billy Bob! Bridget Fonda as a pregnant conniving librarian. HUSSY! Cons: When you're stealing ideas from tv miniseries it's time to start looking for a dayjob.
Why has this movie been on my list of "must see" for over a year? It played for two solid weeks at my favorite theater (a place that usually only runs films for four days at a time) just so they could pay the broadcasting fees. Wow, it must be good....
Pros: Great plot twists, fine performances Cons: Pacing a bit slow at times, gun violence

When reviewing a film there are mainly two things I take into consideration. How much I liked the film personally. And then how "good" the film was. For instance I don't give my guilty pleasures like say "Hard Target" and...
Maybe this is a guys movie, but it sure is not one for the ladies, at least not this lady. I’m so glad that I did not shell out any money at the theater for this one.

Pros: very dark and disturbing, great acting, nice cinematics Cons: pacing may be a hair slow for some
