Speed Racer
SPEED RACER - a cult classic in the making!
by desslok
Pros: The source for the DVD looks amazing.
Cons: What tiny handful of extras appear here are totally vapid.
It may come as no surprise to anyone who pays attention to my reviews, but my anime fan roots run very, very deep. Back in the mid eighties, I remember eating up each installment of the Robotech< i> saga as it unfolded before my eyes each day. In the ...

Children of Paradise
1945's "Children Of Paradise" Goes Through Emotional Hell~
by jankp
Pros: like being in 19th century Paris in all its glory; some brilliant acting
Cons: not all the characters engaged me; rather long
A quote from the 80s' movie Big< b> with Tom Hanks comes to mind as I contemplate my review of Marcel Carne's French version, some say, of Gone With The Wind< b>, which is called Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise< b>). When Hank's ...

Happening
I didn't think it was that bad
by lovehifi
Pros: Good beginning. Good idea.
Cons: Story weakens at some points. Graphic suicides seem out of place.
Rented The Happening the other night and watched it with my better half. We both thought it was OK. Not great, but OK.Of course, this movie is depressing, as it deals with suicide on a large scale. Neither of us thought The Happening was ...

Goodbye Girl
Just Another Awful Remake
by jsommersby
Pros:

Nothing.


Cons: Everything.
Neil Simon rsquo;s Oscar-nominated screenplay for 1977 rsquo;s The Goodbye Girl< i> wasn rsquo;t anything particularly great (and neither was the Academy rsquo;s judgment that year -- it also nominated the screenplay for the mawkish dance melodrama ...

Lakeview Terrace
Lakeview Terrace - Samuel L. Jackson is Not a Nice Neighbor
by dragonfire88
Pros: Jackson. Entertaining movie overall.
Cons: Plot could have been stronger. Predictable at times.
Many people might feel comforted by the idea of a police officer living in the neighborhood or even right next door. For characters in the new movie Lakeview Terrace< b>< i> that turned out to be more of a curse than a blessing.Abel ...

RARE VISIONS AND ROADSIDE REVELATIONS - Discover kitch in your own back yard!
by desslok
Pros: A wonderful checklist of offbeat stuff you'd otherwise miss.
Cons: The disc can be DAMN hard to find and expensive to boot!
You probably cant tell from looking at all the horror, cult and science fiction movie reviews around here, but I love roadside kitch. I love Americana, I love oddball stuff like the biggest ball of twine in America, the Spot of Mystery (every state seems ...

Eagle Eye
Eagle Eye was good but could have been better
by kraine66
Pros: Great action scenes that are worth the admission price, solid cast
Cons: Elements of the plot are unoriginal and could have been made better in that regard.
I didn't have very high expectations for this movie. I had heard about it's unoriginality and it's lack of an even slightly plausable plot. While these things are true for the most part, the film does have it's redeeming qualities.The movie ...

by AliventiAsylum
Pros:

mostly strong acting, good story, believable characters and scenarios


Cons:

very dated


During the height of the Cold War, another fear seemed to be evolving just as fast. That was the fear of surrendering control of so much of our lives and our defense over to computers. At a time before a PC was an essential part of every home, ...

Mulberry Street

by jwalrath
Pros: Good, gore, characters, and atmosphere

Having heard good things about this movie, which was part of the After Dark film series, I decided to catch it when it appeared on the Sci-Fi Channel. The story is about a plague spread throughout New York City that turns people into homicidal rat ...

Bewitched
When Darrin Met Sally: Nora Ephron Remakes "Bewitched" for the Big Screen
by befus
Pros: Talented cast; fun premise; nostalgic clips of the old Bewitched
Cons: Cast not given enough to do; film morphs into standard Ephron romantic comedy
"Da-dum! Da-Dum. Da-Dum-Dum-Dum-Dum Dum." Oh that I could translate written syllables into energetic and brassy notes, lightly sprinkled with some symphonic bells that remind you of starshine on a moonlit night. Then you would know that what I'm humming ...

The Horse's Mouth - Alec Guiness takes on the art world...

Cons: ... a bit too slow, not as funny as it could have been...
The Horse's Mouth< b> is a 1958 comedy starring the incomparable Alec Guiness as Gulley Jimson. Jimson is a rather uncouth fellow and not always the right side of the law, but his art is inspiring to some, including a student named "Nosey" (Mike ...

Body of Lies
A Frustrating And Dissapointing Film That Just Doesn't Mesh Together Well

Pros: Some great scenes, Interesting points, DiCaprio, Mark Strong
Cons: Very inconsistent pacing and not fleshed out
"Body of Lies" never had particularly eye catching trailers in terms of content, however the film always caught my eye anyway because of the talent behind it. Ridley Scott is not a director that's perfect by any means. He's mostly hit but sometimes miss. ...

Pros: Decent acting by the two older boys.
Cons:

Overused plot, stock location, stock characters


Five Children and It< i>, no need to be clever, the title pretty much says it all. It is five syllables long, leaving 12 more for a haiku and either way you want to slice it, it is still tripe no matter how many ways I can mix a metaphor.< p> ...

Psycho II/Psycho III/Psycho IV: The Beginning
Cabin one fever: Three PSYCHO sequels in one package.

Pros:

PSYCHO II is a delight, PSYCHO III is a grisly but amusing diversion.


Cons: PSYCHO IV is a drag, and there's no real bonus features.
In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho< i> proved an audacious and influential suspense film that was widely imitated but never equaled. The legacy of that film was so strong, that the idea of a sequel took an amount of time that may as well have been ...
