Matrix

Pros: Special Effects and Editing
Cons: Story needs an ending that resolves the conflicts established by the beginning.

Whoa. I know kung fu. Keanu Reeves as Neo

What would you do if you suddenly realized your life was a lie and everything around you was a computer-generated illusion? This is the question posed by writers/directors the Wachowski...

Pros: Excellent action sequences, super acting, and it ain't over when it's over...
Cons: That we still have to wait so long for the sequel!

I recently went through a spell where I thought "The Matrix" might just be the most overrated movie of all time. Then I started watching it again the other day, and here I am doing that whole "rethinking" thing that I'm so famous for.

...

Pros: It's totally gay
Cons: So are you, but you don't know it yet.

As I write this, there have been more than 1200 reviews of THE MATRIX [1]. I certainly have not read them all, but I have looked through many of those that come highly recommended, and am shocked to find that the film is regularly reviewed as a...

Pros: Imagery, special effects, fighting choreography of Wu Ping Yuen, Fishburne, Weaving
Cons: Plot holes and mixed mythologies

I am Trinity.

Of course you are, you say. Who else?

This may be a masquerade ball, but it is given to us here to be who we truly are, and this history has yet to be written, and I telly you I AM...

Pros: Incredible effects, very clever storyline
Cons: Sooooo over-dramatic, no acting required

I know, everyone and their mother has written a review of this film, but catching it on the telly again recently compels me to throw in my two cents worth, though it may only be worth a half-cent at best. This sleek, nightmarish thriller is so cool...

Pros: Stunning exploration of a deeply hidden fear in the collective human consciousness.
Cons: Slightly off in the directing/acting.

When I was a very young person, I began to wonder something very dark and dangerous about what we call Reality. Was it really "There" at all? I began to wonder if my mind was a sort of projector-and-projection-screen and all the things around me I saw...

Pros: Great movie, lots of DVD extras
Cons: PC-DVD features is not compatible with all PC-DVD players.

Even if you have it on video cassette you should get it on DVD. Why? It has tons of extra features, in fact, I recently discovered another one of the mini-movies "What is the Concept" just a few days ago and I've had the movie for over a...

Pros: Special effects, filmography, entertaining story, fast paced, original.
Cons: There’s no con here, move along, move along.

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.  It is fast, entertaining, thought provoking, and the special effects are awesome.  It was a revolutionary movie at it’s time.  In fact some Anime movies are given credit for its ...

Pros: 'I am God' climax and many great fight scenes.
Cons: Frequent silliness.

For those of you unaware of the wacky changes in the life of Alawston, I am no longer a resident of England's second city. Now I live in a big house in Coventry, which is almost ideal apart from the fact that I'm not allowed pets. So now Sean, king of...

Pros: a slick, thought provoking and action packed film
Cons: none

The Matrix is one of those rare films that manage to combine state of the art special effects with a plot line and hero that have hidden depth to them. With the possible exception of Bladerunner, no film has managed to deliver such awesome visuals, ...

Pros: Nice wardrobe.
Cons: Stupid plot and mediocre acting.

Who knew green and black looked so good together? Alas, they don’t look good enough to salvage the rest of The Matrix. Neo (Keanu Reeves) is a respectable computer specialist by day and a hacker by night, who has a gnawing suspicion that ...

Pros: Intriguing premise, amazing special effects.
Cons: Wooden acting and story not as original as it thinks it is.

So I did it. Seeing that the Matrix Reloaded has been released and that I intend to see it once the crowds have died down, I decided to watch the original Matrix again.

Now The Matrix is one movie that has to be seen repeatedly to get the gist...

Pros: the action; the story; pretty much all of it
Cons: Guy Pearce seems rather somnolent

Well, it really is possibly a waste of time writing the 952nd review on a product, but since I saw it for the first time last night and it is fresh in my memory then I am sure no-one is going to be harmed by it. My mates were bagging me out for...

Pros: Stunning visuals and stunt effects.
Cons: Hackneyed plot elements.

Norman and I are enjoying a lazy long weekend here at Chateau Maine. He begins shooting his new project tomorrow at the Pot O' Gold trailer park outside Chatsworth. He has the cutest little set of bib overalls and NASCAR t-shirt to wear. I'll have to...

Pros: This movie has a lot of depth.
Cons: None.

You've Seen the Movie, Right?

Sorry, kids, this is not your dad's movie review. In fact, this isn't a movie review at all for two reasons: One, this is a write-off. Two, I can only talk about one quote from the movie.
