Life Among The Hives by pmills1210 Pros: A solid ensemble and nice story
Cons: Some degree of predictability A teenaged girl helps out her housekeeper and friend when the housekeeper gets into trouble with the law. Rather than face a justice where the housekeeper would surely be convicted of the charges against her, her teenage charge helps her to escape from ...

Double dose of Alfeck - Along with more nicknames than can fill the F****** Fillmore by tiger62x Pros: Good ensemble acting, excellent screenplay and dialog, excellent story, has sense of realism.
Cons: Not really any, has a very real feeling. Great acting by one of the Afleck brothers, and not the one you think. You get two for the price of one, and they are both exactly where they belong. Ben Afleck is definitely where he seems to contribute the most. He is responsible for ...

Dramatic Period Mystery by carstairs38 Pros: Acting, music, story, look
Cons: Angelina's crying scenes; time line at the end Okay, so here's where I further reveal my geekiness. I was interested in Changeling for one reason and one reason only - it was written by J. Michael Stracyznski, creator and writer of my favorite TV show of all time, ...

Hellboy 2 is the kinder and gentler side of the devilish action hero. by cntaur5 Pros: Spectacular visuals and a well paced action flick.
Cons: Average storyline that's getting close to the R-rating. Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) is an action adventure directed by Guillermo Del Toro. The movie beings by taking you back to mutant superhero Hellboy’s 1955 childhood at the Douglas Army Base. It’s Christmas Eve and ...

JFK: The Case for Conspiracy - One Gunman? I Don't Think So! by AliventiAsylum Pros: excellent and detailed analysis of evidence, doesn't get mucked up in "who did it" question
Cons: very graphic and haunting footage, Groden's credentials aren't impeccable If there's ever been an event more picked apart and analyzed in our history than the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, I don't know what it is. Whether you believe that the President was assassinated by a lone gunman or any one of the numerous ...

The Better of the Flair DVD Sets by malkura Pros: Great match choices and extras
Cons: Though I really have to wonder about the Sting match....... I got this for Christmas of last year. Don't ask what took so long to review this, but now I am. The Definitive Collection was somewhat of a dissapointment, is this one better? I'd say.Disk 1:Ric Flair vs Harley Race Cage Match-Starcade ...

Countdown to victory; The Last Days of World War II by alexdg1 Pros: Interersting look at WWII's final days; good narration; nice mix of stories
Cons: Too generalized at times; very little about the Pacific except in last doc. Although as of late the A&E Network's The History Channel has been undergoing an "extreme makeover" with a name change (it's now simply known as History) and a most unwelcome emphasis on reality shows (Axe Men, Ice Road ...

Some Great Episodes, Still A Poor Medium: "The X-Files," Boxed Set Vol. 5! by wlswarts Pros: Some great episodes, Some great acting, Developing characters, Bonus feature
Cons: Medium, One lesser episode It's a tough sell to recommend something on an outdated medium, especially when there is a far better or more complete version of it in the marketplace. That is where I am on the boxed set of "The X-Files" VHS tapes that start off the third season ...

Scifi Classics: Bride of the Gorilla (12/50) by cdm72 Pros: Was only 65 minutes long.
Cons: Nothing happened for 65 minutes. As far as I’m concerned, after the original KING KONG, Hollywood never needed to make another ape movie. That one pretty much said it all as far as apes in Hollywood were concerned. Hollywood, of course, had different ideas and subsequently released ...

A Gem of a Film, Compelling to the Last Frame by movieman9000 Pros: Great direction by Boyle, Solid acting from the whole cast, Universal and compelling story
Cons: Hard to take at times Nothing about "Slumdog Millionaire" seemed all that interesting. The plot is very odd, centering around the true story of a very poor boy who had no education somehow winning a game show through knowledge from his past experiences. It doesn't sound bad, ...

Family Business: Funny and Tragic by le_domaine Pros: Connery, Hoffman, and Broderick; the comedic, sometimes melodramatic, storyline.
Cons: A few: poor_cinematography; unappealing_sets&settings; unmatched_and_horrid_soundtrack; annoying_distracting_background sound. Connery, Broderick, Hoffman. Never would I have thought to have seen a movie with them together. Well, Family Business not only has them together, but they are in the same family. We all know how crazy family relationships can be, don't we? We are ...

Good movie for entertainment purposes by heather200805 Pros: Entertaining

Bolt is a HIT for the entire family! by marytara Pros: Entertaining, Funny, Action, Enjoyed by both kids and grown-up kids
Cons: None! Movies are highly reinforcing for my seven year old son (who has Autism), so of course - when a new kid-flick comes out, especially by Disney... we take him. Ok, Ok, so the kid wanted to see it - but so did my husband and I. Off ...

"BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA": NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION by mike.holmes Pros: It was fairly short
Cons: Poor writing, moronic plotline, tasteless jokes Wow! This movie was a real dog. That's about the level of humor that I witnessed while watching this poor excuse for a comedy. Although I initially wanted to see this film with my grandkids, I missed it and saw it with my wife. My ...

Something is plaguing the port city, but does anyone care? by trailhound Pros: Widmark's and Palance's performances. Film's gritty backdrop. Kazan's directing.
Cons: A few slow moments. Panic in the Streets showcases Richard Widmark's fine acting skills in a rare ''good guy'' role. However, the forceful and abrasive personality he often shows on screen are still in place as he portrays Dr. Clint Reed, as US Health Official ...

Twilight enjoyable but lacking some sparkle by marytara Pros: Mostly true to the book, music soundtrack, aesthetically pleasing
Cons: Some casting and special effect issues I'm about twenty years too old compared to most of Stephanie Meyer's "fans" of the Twilight series which was written for a juvenile/young adult audience. Of course, that hasn't stopped most of my 30something friends from reading the books, and getting ...

Wait for the DVD by soulkissed2003 Pros: Daniel Craig delivers excellent acting. M is always a strong female character. Plenty of action.
Cons: Lackluster storyline -- it's been done. Die hard fans may find break from tradition annoying. I am not a James Bond fan. If my hubby stumbles across a James Bond movie on cable I will find myself something else to do, more often than not. I did catch the end of the last one, which is good because without it I don't think ...

Is Bolt Fully Awesome? Nope. It's Beyond Awesome!!! by carstairs38 Pros: Animation, characters, laughs, emotion

A Fun Action Film That Doesn't Seem To Embrace It's Beloved Franchise Charm by movieman9000 Pros: Great action sequences, Newfound intensity and grit, Great acting especially from Mathieu Amalric
Cons: Throws out almost all of the classic Bond trademarks and charm "Quantum of Solace" is likely the most anticipated Bond film in decades. "Casino Royale" had some people excited because of the new crew that had stepped in to try and save the series from possible extinction because of the past few Bond's lacking a lot ...

A mere phantom of The Phantom by catu11us Pros: It's only 93 minutes.
Cons: Mediocre music, mediocre performance ... not worth the money. I have always been a collector – stamps, books, chess sets, music, and so on, 60-years of it. Current craze is of course DVDs. Collectors generally compulsively hang on to something once they’ve acquired it – even if it ...

The New Bond, James Bond, Take Shape for Good and Ill by vemartin Pros: Somewhat Intelligent, fast paced, great acting from Daniel Craig.
Cons: Plot holes; boring at times; not well sewn together. I am a life long James Bond fan. Ever since my older brother took me the see Live and Let Die back in 1974 staring Roger Moore in his first turn as the Bond, and a very young, delectable Jane Seymour, I have been hooked. Since that ...

Indie film at its best, a buddy/road flick, oh, with AIDS by paulsavage Pros: Storyline, pacing is fantastic, the acting is rough but generally good
Cons: Not a con for me, but it is gay for gay so be warned. The Living End, auteur Greg Araki’s first film, was the first film to take on AIDS from a gay perspective specifically to a gay audience. What makes it different from films before it is that it tells a story that has AIDS ...

Devastating True Story Powerfully Told by jc_hall Pros: devastating true story frankly, at times, powerfully, depicted; acting; directing; original locales
Cons: none The Rwandan genocide in 1993-4 was the horrific culmination of long-standing conflict between the Hutus and the Tutsis. Perhaps even more horrific than the death of hundreds of thousands of innocents is the knowledge that the rest of the world ...
