To Kill a Mockingbird

Pros: Gregory Peck, Issues, actually absolutely everything

Cons: NOTHING IS BAD!

Review: I saw this movie as a young child because my mom is a teacher and she shows it to her class. At 6 years old, I did not enjoy this movie much because I did not understand what it was about. Now, 9 years later, this is my absolute favorite movie. The...

Pros: A Classic Tale for learning about the courage to stand up for what is right.

Cons: A little slow for today's viewers who are attuned to a faster pace.

The Bottom Line: This is a classic movie made with fine actors and fine direction. It is probably one of the top ten movies ever made.

Review: Atticus Finch is the man we all wanted our fathers to be. And if we were lucky, we not only had him, but a Boo Radley in our lives as well. Why? Because, in their own way, both are men of conscience; men for all seasons.

I sometimes say...

Pros: Excellent transfer from text, crafted with care

Cons: BOO! Radley

Review: An elementary school staple, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a true classic, despite how overused the word is, it fits it perfectly. You see, unlike most other required readings for youngsters, "Mockingbird" has a little of what everyone wants, and...

Pros: Wonderful movie about our society

Cons: not a movie for children, mature themes

Review: To Kill A Mockingbird is a great movie that I would highly recommend to anyone who is over the age of 11 or 12. Though it is not rated, it deals with many adult themes, such as rape, murder, child abuse, racism, and hate. If this movie was rated I...

Pros: Beautiful film with nearly flawless performances

Cons: None

Review: "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a splendid adaptation of Harper Lee's novel, made even more splendid by the incredible performance of Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. I hope they never attempt a remake of this film, for Gregory Peck IS Atticus; I see him...

Pros: Great story

Cons: No negative comments

Review: I read this book in middle school, and was immediately drawn to it. Perhaps it was the innocence of Scout, or her childlike, unbiased view of the world around her. I am not quite sure. But it captured my heart and will remain on my shelf of favorite...

Pros: excellent story, good messages, strong cast

Cons: who the heck labelled this a TEARJERKER? WRONG!

Review: Tearjerker?!? I see that is the genre label given to this movie. Who made THAT up? I think that is grossly inaccurate. Yes, I was moved to tears, but that is a miscategorization (oh my, what a long word). Calling it a tearjerker somehow cheapens it,...

Pros: well written, well performed

Cons: None, in my opinion

Review: During the Depression of the 1930?s, in a small Southern town, Atticus Finch (Gregory Peck), a soft-spoken attorney, widowed and raising two young children, accepts the difficult task of defending Tom Robinson (Brock Peters), a black farm hand...

Pros: Gregory Peck, the child actors, direction and script.

Cons: The black inhabitants of the town aren't well-defined individuals.

The Bottom Line: A quiet story of a child's understand of the world and its complicated nature.

Review: In this period of abject poverty (due to Christmas and other factors), I haven t gone out to rent any movies at the video store in the past few weeks. However, I still have a lot of cheap videos and tapes in my collection, some of which haven t been...

Pros: Everything. A Great Movie...

Cons: none...

Review: Truly, one of the greatest films ever made. The adaptation from book (Lee) to screen was beautifully done. Everything about this film is to be appreciated and enjoyed.

Although the entire cast gave exceptional performances, I always think...
