It's Not Going To Start A Stampede Toward Dickens, But "Nicholas Nickleby" Is All Right. by wlswarts Pros: Decent acting, Interesting engaging characters
Cons: Very obvious Dickens story, Nothing incredible in the DVD bonus features I have no problem in admitting when an actor or actress has gotten my attention and I have decided to focus on their works. It happens about once a year; I see a movie where a performance surprises me and I pick up a stack of DVDs that feature the ...

2 The Rufus Premier by sj1and0 Pros: their simmering authenticity
Cons: None! Chaka Khan has the most edgy driving riff displayed when she raises her sweet voice to the sun. Not only is her vocal output very warm, but it also has color and style. With elements of honey blended with spices, she exclaims expressively and blows ...

"Older is better", said the Yellow King by pyfr Pros: The stories by Bierce and especially Chambers, Lovecraft, and Machen are unnerving and sinister.
Cons: Several hack attempts to be like the above. Doesn't tie together the concepts listed. Imagine, if you can, a play so terrible that all who read it are reduced to gibbering lunatics. Or a sign from some mysterious entity that shatters the minds of anyone unfortunate enough to set eyes on it. Or, worse still, a distant planet on which ...

Jewel Becomes Indistinct Before The Sellout: "This Way" Flatly Disappoints! by wlswarts Pros: Moments of voice, Moments of musical experimentation
Cons: Musically and lyrically boring I tend to take umbrage with the idea that an artist who tries to jump out of the niche that they might have become popular in is selling out. The idea that an artist cannot evolve or grow or try something new is a fallacy that disappoints the ...

Heidi: A Classic Tale of Transforming Love by befus Pros: Beautifully descriptive prose; well-drawn characters who go through believable transformations
Cons: Modern readers might find the occasional moralizing tone a bit off-putting I count myself blessed that I grew up in a home filled with books and a love for reading. My parents invested in many children's classics, many of which I read over and over. I can still see one shelf in my mind's eye, filled with beautifully colored ...

A Great Film that Sucks: Mike Mills's Understated THUMBSUCKER by xxxxer Pros: Top notch performances, an almost downplayed approach that makes the film even more meaningful
Cons: Possibly too formulaic for some audiences; some awkward moments thematically speaking Based on Walter Kirn's autobiographical novel of the same name, first-time director Mike Mills has crafted what has to be one of the most surprisingly poignant and quietly memorable films of recent years. While this film all but sank into obscurity upon ...

Awkward Breaks In The Story Keep "The West Wing Seasons 1-4" From Selling! by wlswarts Pros: Funny, Good stories, Amazing acting, Politically smart

Not their shining moment by maleficent36 Pros: Duran Duran are still making music after 25+ years together

I've heard each track, though, and am completely familiar with this album, and I ...

A sumptuous DVD of one of the biggest (and least musical?) Broadway musical movies by Stephen_Murray Pros: ensemble cast, production design, DVD extras
Cons: pacing (overall and of production numbers) To paraphrase Alan Jay Lerner, anyone who was a child in the late 1950s and early 60s grew accustomed to the songs from "My Fair Lady" (and the better ones from "West Side Story"). The nearly three-hour movie version of "My Fair Lady" was a special ...
