Classic Clint Eastwood. Sharp Memorable Dialogue, Attitude And Edginess. by coldsteel7 Pros: Strong writing, interesting characters, Detroit is the backdrop, exceptional acting.

Mindless fun by Chad9976 Pros: Some exciting and funny moments; self-aware satirical atmosphere
Cons: very generic, cliche, predictable story; implausible "Eraser" may be the most generic Schwarzenegger flick yet, because it has a little bit from every film he's ever done: super high-tech/sci-fi stuff; double crosses; cartoony bad guys; amazing stunts; lots of explosions and violence; a cute, innocent ...

Average At Best, "Mythology" Vol. 3 "Colonization" Is Hardly Cohesive Or Essential "The X-Files!" by wlswarts Pros: New commentary tracks, Some real answers and character moments
Cons: Does not actually tell a cohesive story, Not a ton of great acting, No movie! There is something irritating about the way "The X-Files" created "digest" versions of the seasons under the guise that they were presenting the essential episodes for certain aspects of the show's "Mythology." The digests were what Chris Carter and ...

New World Disorder - (Rutger Hauer/Tara Fitzgerald) - more like disaster than disorder by ladyconsumer Pros: Some humor - even though it wasn't supposed to be a comedy.
Cons: The script, the performances... pretty much everything. There's no other way to say this: New World Disorder is a bad movie. If it's the middle of the night, and you're channel-surfing, and your only choices are this movie, or infomercials, go for the info, at least you might learn about a great ...

The Spirit (2008) — "That's Just Damn Weird!" by elvisdo Pros: Doesn't take itself so seriously; great special effects and imagery; stylishly dazzling
Cons: A lot of people will not understand Miller's intention; the plot is thin and silly To understand The Spirit, one has to understand the mindset of the man in the director’s chair… Frank Miller. His 1986 graphic novel Batman: The Dark Knight Returns is hailed as one of the most influential pieces of ...

Cons: the story has struggles, very predictable, not funny enough, needed a better script Mixed in with the typical Hollywood summer blockbuster films are smaller ones such as The House Bunny which seek to give film audiences something a little different amongst all of the "exploding" films. This is in the comedic flair, ...

Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf: - Definitely Not as Cool as the Game by jeremy1456 Pros: Decent Animation, Fanservice
Cons: Too Short and Cluttered Fatal Fury for the Neo Geo is easily one of my favorite fighting games of all time. With that said it's a sure bet that I'd be a sucker for any merchandise related to it - this is one of my worst personality traits. The film Fatal Fury: Legend of the ...

I said Yes to Jim Carrey's Yes Man by shopaholic_man Pros: The movie was really funny and had an uplifting message.
Cons: A couple scenes weren't as family friendly as the overall theme of the film. I saw the reviews for Yes Man and thought it was going to be another stupid Jim Carrey comedy. I am glad that I said YES, to Yes Man. Yes Man is indeed a comedy, but it is also a movie with a message, a nice uplifting feel good message at ...

Rebound: "Cause I'm Still Watching You, Roy." by le_domaine Pros: Martin Lawrence, the kids, the script, the message (or two).

Heck, I might even have learned a few workable teaching tactics, here! The Mt. Vernon Smelters are a junior high school basketball team. As most ...
