Burn After Reading - The Coen Brothers Return to Comedy With Clooney and Pitt by dragonfire88 Pros: Interesting, unique plot that was entertaining. Some very funny moments.
Cons: Violent and vulgar at times. Too different for some. Some slower spots Joel and Ethan Coen have made a variety of movies with some being much better than others. I haven't liked all of them, but I am usually willing to give their movies a chance. I recently had the chance to see Burn After Reading, their ...

"Carnivale - Seasons 1 & 2:" More Than The Sum Of Its Parts! by wlswarts Pros: Intriguing characters, Good story, Great acting, Costumes, Sets, Concept!
Cons: Incomplete story, Lighter on DVD extras than I'd like for the price, No spacesaving benefits Every now and then there comes along a series that is ideally watched on DVD. Some - few - go the other way, like the second season of "The X-Files" where Scully's absence is somewhat glossed over without weeks in between her abduction and return. ...

GoodFellas. A perfect example of modern filmmaking by jeff_wilder78 Pros: Storytelling, acting, tension, drama, humor, music, the list goes on

The Original Terminator by abuss Pros: A unique piece of storytelling on film, up there with Alien for psychological horror.
Cons: Looks a little dated, but you'll get past that. Westworld was written and directed by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, ER) in 1973. Crichton has frequently taken ideas from the edges of science fiction, placed them in daily life settings and then make them go wrong. This has been best illustrated on ...

Lord of War: the life of a heinous man by telynor Pros: Eamonn Walker is worth watching in this.
Cons: Mind-numbing. Nicholas Cage once again doesn't show any range beyond hangdog misery. Think bullets. Think lots of bullets, the empty shell casings littering the ground as far as the eye can see, in the middle of smoking ruins, and a man in a natty, tailored suit with briefcase in hand surveying it all. Say hello, boys and ...
