Pros: Tense, funny, good score
Cons: Dreadful script/plotting, no real "scares"
M. Night Shymalan's fourth film Signs was one of this summer's biggest hits. Receiving mostly good reviews and getting a strong word-of-mouth, the film managed to surpass the coveted 200 million dollar mark, bringing Shymalan back into the...

Pros: Scary and comedic, the cast
Cons: Slow pacing, the ending, corny theme and words like "swing-away"
Let me get off on a little rant here. I believe that mandatory castration should be implemented on any person who decides that a moment of silence during a movie is a carte blanc to inflict and advertise their tainted genes on the rest of us genetic...

Pros: may please religious fundamentalists who also believe in aliens
Cons: should really upset everybody else for its treatment of science and its lack of logic
There are a lot of reviews of this movie already, so why write another one? Well, I was really annoyed by it. The plot in a nutshell: A former priest (Mel Gibson), who lost his wife in a car accident and consequently lost his faith, lives with his two ...

Pros: Acting, cinematography, pacing, scariness, themes, ending
Cons: Comic relief can get a little silly sometimes, Shyamalan is NOT an actor
The summer movie season has been a summer less easy to forget than your usual summer movie season, at least for a critic like me. I usually never find the incentive to actually go see movies in the theater, because of all the obvious drawbacks...

Pros: Signs is both frightening and challenging. Very well-crafted and rewarding.
Cons: Some of the humor disrupts the suspense.
The waves of fear, doubt, and despair that tore through the world after September 11th should have crashed onto the beaches of the film industry. Instead of goofy disaster flicks and movies that glorified terrorism and violence, many moviegoers- myself...

Pros: Best suspense in a major Hollywood picture in a while. Gibson's great.
Cons: Dunno. A bit derivative in spots, I suppose.
Though the science fiction genre is one that I have been less-than-enchanted with over the years--- the most controversial review I'll probably ever write will be my unfavorable one of the beloved Star Wars--- there was something that attracted me...

Pros: scary noises
Cons: scarier screenwriting
Todd Solondz, whose stock has fallen as indieland has veered toward the likes of the TV-friendly "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," is sometimes labeled a misanthrope. That's what you get when you depict the ugly ambiguities of real life instead of the vanilla...

Pros: Oscar-caliber acting, writing, and cinematography
Cons: Neither of the dates I took to this movie clung to me for hours afterward
***EXTRA***The Philadelphia Inquirer joins the rest of humanity in celebrating the repulsion of the sodium-based alien raiders, whose precise intentions for the 3,000,000 humans they managed to carry off are still unknown. We especially wish to commend...

Pros: The first part is ok until you realize where it's going.
Cons: Movie made no sense and was too preachy.
Ok, for those who haven't seen it, this is not a good review to read as there is much spoiler material in here. Suffice it to say, I was not a fan of this film. The aliens were completely implausible and idiotic and I felt cheated later in the movie...

Pros: Mel Gibson, M. Night Shamalaya; Perfect Mix of Comedy & Science Fiction
Cons: Fails to examine all theories;
For years, I've been somewhat fascinated by crop circles - where do they come from, who made them, and why are they here? I have entertained not only the scientific explanations, but the paranormal and religious ones as well. It was thus with great...

Pros: Mel Gibson, script, ending, James Newton Howard's musical score, practically everything else
Cons: nothing major
The 2002 season has not been the best of summers for Touchstone Pictures or the Walt Disney Company in general with Bad Company, the $100 million budgeted drama starring Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock, and The Country Bears flopping at box ...

Pros: Interesting basis for story, Some scary parts
Cons: Poor special effects, poor directing.
Im an absolute sucker for Science fiction movies. I will go see any movie if it has even the slightest hint of spaceships or aliens. But even a sucker like me has his limits.
This latest offering by director M. Night Shyamalan ("Sixth Sense,"...

Pros: Got to view it for free. Otherwise there are no pros for this film.
Cons: Not scary.Goofy.
I was truly disappointed in this movie. Like most people I was sucked in by a very well made and interesting trailer.
Mel Gibson as usual does a nice job, playing a priest who has lost his faith, but the rest of the film stinks. Title of film...

Cons: Ending could have been better

Pros: Doesn't contain Rob Schneider or Carrot Top
Cons: Does contain Mel Gibson and M. Night Shyamalayan
"Signs" was a dull, silly mishmash of a movie. It tried to be a scary thriller with thematic content, but failed on both counts. It also ripped-off "Independence Day", "Panic Room", and "Night of the Living Dead".
"Signs" opens in aptly...
