The Cider House Rules

The Green Mile
PRO: Tom Hanks: You've Got Jail!
CON: Life in prison; a giant rapist -- this is uplifting?
The Insider
PRO: Epic saga of one man's struggle against corporate interests; title is ripe for pornographic parody.
CON: Why can't they nominate a porn movie for best picture? I mean, c'mon, I saw this movie on DVD the other week, and there was this woman painting a flower, and it turns out, it's...um....
The Sixth Sense
PRO: The movie is built around a really cool twist, causing millions of theatregoers to see it twice; the kid is great.
