Intertwining Tales of Repentance by andaryl Pros: Excellent storytelling and character portrayal
Cons: Nothing I wasn’t sure what to expect going into The Edge of Heaven, but it turned out to be one of the most impressive movies I’ve seen in a while. It comes with high acclaim, having won the Best Screenplay Award at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. The ...

Worst action movie ever? by Chad9976 Pros: Elizabeth Shue
Cons: Everything else "The Saint" is probably one of the most mindless and typical of the modern Hollywood thrillers. It has a dashing hero, a beautiful damsel in distress, a villain from the cliche vaults, and an overly complicated plot which conviently provides for lots of ...

The pre-Shakespearean Hamlet avenging his murdered father by Stephen_Murray Pros: now better-known cast, gratuitous nudity
Cons: very low budget without editing skills to compensate I daresay that the 1994 movie shot in Denmark with a mostly British case, "Royal Deceit," also known as "Prince of Jutland," is more interesting now than it was then. This is not primarily because we have sat by for eight years of high-level ...

CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES - The Apes are revolting! by desslok Pros: Roddy McDowall and Ricardo Montalban!
Cons: Slashed budget = Crap ape masks and cheap production. Picking up where Escape from the Planet of the Apes left off at, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes opens some 20 years into The Future (known as 1991), a mysterious plague has wiped out all the cats and dogs, forcing the Humans of The ...

A Good And Also Great Movie by magicman1111  Pros: Fine acting and historically significant. It keeps moving although painfully at points. Great ending.
Cons: The actors could have captured their characters sooner. The drama was in the final interview. The movie is well acted and absorbing throughout the first two interviews. It is not great but very good like two fighters maneuvering for position while trying to avoid errors or unnecessary exposure. The viewer sees that ...

ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES - Paradox of the Apes by desslok Pros: A strong story, good acting and an emotional ending.
Cons: The DVD presentation could have been much better! So, you've mined out all the good "Humans as the oppressed species" material, explored all the social commentary you can, killed off your main stars and blown up the Planet of the Apes. And yet the franchise is still making money - how do you make more ...

Shatters After a Dandy Setup by jsommersby Pros: Pleasurable foreplay.
Cons: Wet-noodle climaxes. The Glass House boasts such a spectacular first-half that it's a real shame the follow-through is so decidedly lacking, so chock-full of mind-numbing contrivance and illogic, so blatantly insulting to any simpleton's intelligence that it ...

BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES - not worth going ape over by desslok Pros: The prosthetics and special effects work is well done
Cons: The script is too dour and Poe-faced for it's own good. So, the year is 1968, and the original Planet of the Apes was a huge success at the box office. 20th Century Fox, smelling more money, instantly green-lit a sequel - Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Does it stand the test of time as well as ...

Good Advice (Sheen/Harmon/Richards) - take my advice and see this one. by ladyconsumer Pros: Very cute story, lots to laugh at, great cast.
Cons: An unhealthy obsession with 'donkeys'. Good Advice is a very cute romantic comedy starring Charlie Sheen, Angie Harmon, and Denise Richards.Sheen plays Ryan, a selfish, cold-hearted stock-broker who will do pretty much anything for the almighty buck. But when his latest ...

PLANET OF THE APES - Get your stinking paws on this! by desslok Pros: Fun, good special effects and socially relevant!
Cons: The DVD I wound up with isn't as good as later releases. Long on my To-Do list is the Planet of the Apes series. Top to bottom, stem to stern from "Get your STINKING paws OFF me you DAMN DIRTY APES!!" to the rise of the new lawgiver, I've been wanting to but never found the time to rewatch and scribe up ...

From Where the Sun Now Stands, I Will Fight No More, Forever. by Bruguru Pros: Historically accurate, balanced treatment overall, good performances.
Cons: Drags at times, poor video quality. For centuries, Native Americans were abused and mistreated by the white settlers of North America. American history (and Hollywood) loves to use German Nazis or Soviet Communists as villains; far less often do we see the unsettling examples of our own ...

There Will Be "Tears In Heaven" For Jason Patric In 1991's Rush~ by jankp Pros: acting; story; presentation; DVD features
Cons: final scene not too inspired Some of you may know the feeling. A rush of adrenaline from running long, blood from embarrassment, excitotoxins from external stimuli. The Texan narcs in the film Rush knew an addicting rush from taking illegal drugs for the sake of their ...

Valkyrie - Tom Cruise Brought the Plot to Kill Hitler to the Big Screen by dragonfire88 Pros: Interesting subject from WWII. Strong cast.
Cons: Few things not fully explained. Not a happy story. Tom Cruise has been well known for many years now. His reputation has suffered in the last several years and he's managed to offend people. I haven't cared for a lot of what he has done and frankly have gotten tired of hearing stories about ...

Death Race revs up like Prison Break and Grand Theft Auto by cntaur5 Pros: Ideal for adrenaline junkies.
Cons: No Oscar nods, extremely violent, and it's been done before. Universal Pictures in association with Relativity Media present the movie Death Race (2008). Paul W.S. Anderson takes the helm revving up the classic Death Race 2000 (1975). The story unfolds in the year 2012 with the United States ...

I've Been Condemned to Live: Geoff Murphy's Masterful QUIET EARTH by xxxxer Pros: An engrossing, well-acted, achingly beautiful film that builds to a magnificent and transcendent climax
Cons: Probably too slow-moving for some audiences Throughout the years, there have been numerous films portraying a solitary protagonist in a seemingly uninhabited Earth. Recently, Richard Matheson's novel I am Legend was remade (yet again), but the story had previously been the basis of ...

One Magic Christmas Isn't As Enchanting as the Title Suggests by bilbopooh Pros: Elisabeth Harnois, warm and fuzzy ending

42ND STREET FOREVER: VOLUME FOUR - It's like liquid crack for the B-Movie fan! by desslok Pros: Tons of classic schlock that I've long forgotten!
Cons: Far, far too many movies here not yet on DVD! Ah, the movie trailer. Much like everything else in Hollywood, it seems like the studios can no longer produce fun, exciting, good trailers that don’t give away all the good bits. On the other hand, I love exploitation trailers for JUST that reason - ...

Cons: A little too much gratuitous sex and nudity; overtly didactic Free speech is an issue we debate every day in the United States, and although our country has been around for 220 years, we still aren't sure what the framers of the constitution mean when they wrote the First Amendment. "The People Vs. Larry Flynt" is ...
