Rollercoaster Mummy

Mon, 7 May 2001 02:52:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - This long awaited sequel to The Mummy was definitely not disappointing to me. I noticed that there were more mummies than you could shake an ankh at in it, though. Remember our small group of Zombie/Mummy warriors from the first movie? Now, think...

The Sims Livin' Large Expansion Pack For Windows: I'M livin' large!

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 14:43:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I loved The Sims when it first came out and had been keeping an eye out for this gem since I'd heard about it on the official site (http://www.thesims.com...end of shameless website promotion).

I got the expansion pack within a few days of...

Hack, Slash, Maim!

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 14:16:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - My husband bought me this game for my birthday. I'd wanted it since I'd been seeing all the nifty screenshots online for months and had even tried (unsuccessfully) to be a beta-tester for it.

I had recently had a bad encounter, however,...

Laugh Like Crazy

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 13:52:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I rented it because I liked the first Nutty Professor flick that Murphy made. I knew going in that it was going to be crude, lewd, and have a lot of unpolitically correct things to say about life in general. I knew, also, that it was likely to be one...

Should be "Chest"-Men

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 22:44:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I used to collect the comics. I used to read them almost religiously, so when they announced that this movie was coming out, I was somewhat interested in seeing it. Considering that most movies based on comics really stink (Blade, Spawn...), I wasn't...

Bad Rolls with Critics

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 22:11:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I have been an avid RPG player for many years. I write RPG fiction and I help run a couple of websites based on them. I anticipated the coming of this film, but since I had an idea of the plotline long before the movie debuted, I was not expecting much...

Safety is Affordable.

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 22:56:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - After my husband and I were fortunate to get the 12,000 dollars we needed to pay off our loan to Mitsubishi to get RID of the Eclipse GS-T that we'd been buying (see my epinion on it as to why we got rid of it), we got a Hyundai Sonata 2000.

I...

Never knew it could be funny!

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 22:16:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - Never really saw religion as something to laugh at and frankly, hated all of Kevin Smith's movies up until I saw Dogma. I'd seen Chasing Amy, Clerks and Mallrats. I wasn't impressed with any of them and downright despised most of them. I expected this...

Very Endearing and Fun

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 21:03:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I am studying Psychology, so I decided I'd rent a movie about a Psychologist. Not a surprise, right? Well, this movie has a couple of surprises in store, for sure!

First is the people that Dr. Mumford has to treat. They range in categories...

Sleep with One Eye Open

Sun, 28 May 2000 04:07:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - Now, this is a GOOD movie! I saw it in the theaters and I rented it recently. I will own this movie when it is released for sale!

Burton did an excellent job with setting the mood in this film. Everything works together to make not only a...

Overhyped and Overly Long

Sun, 28 May 2000 03:42:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I'd heard SO much about this movie from friends and family before I saw it. Everyone was talking about how great it was so I thought I would go see it.

I wasn't all that impressed. What I didn't like:

1. The CGI was still a bit...

Pokemon, Pokemon everywhere!

Sat, 15 Apr 2000 02:05:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I didn't bother to rent or go see this movie in the theater. I figured that the theater was the LAST place on Earth that I would want to be anywhere near opening day for this movie. The idea of hundreds of kids screaming about Pokemon will scare the...

Liked this Liar

Sat, 15 Apr 2000 01:43:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I wanted to see this movie because I knew that Williams was in it and he's become a respected actor, in my mind, of late with such movies as Patch Adams. I rented Jakob the Liar and I have to say that I loved it.

It's a very moving story of a...

Bug-Eyed, Frolicking Jesus

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 16:20:50 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - Okay. Let the massacre begin! This movie was BAD. It really could've been so much better than it was.

Let's start out with a quick rundown of the cast. Milla Jovovitch was Joan. Dustin Hoffman was her hallucination of her conscience...

Party College Blues

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 19:20:15 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - UT is not for a serious student. However, if you're looking for an expensive party on your parents' bill, it's just right for you!

Let's start off discussing the fact that UT's students have higher incidents of HIV than almost any other...

"A" for Alright

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 02:53:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - Well, I've read both epinions on this film and don't agree with either one. This movie wasn't all that great and it wasn't all that bad.

It does have some good filming and the scenery is very pretty. I thought the costuming was pretty...

Not like Disney!

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 02:29:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - This movie has it all. Let me just say that I rented it and was so impressed with it that I bought a copy for myself.

It is nothing like the annoying Disney version of Snow White. First of all, it's not a cartoon. Second, there's no...

Not like the Book, but still good

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 02:20:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - If you get ahold of this movie, you may be disappointed to find out that it is not in line with the book of the same name by Baroness Orczy. Her book is actually better, but most books are better than the movie adaptations. This movie is WAY off base...

Not usually my thing

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 01:26:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - But, I loved it! I don't listen to R&B much (ever, if I can help it), but I love this album.

It's really full of great dance tunes and even songs that make you think (like Waterfalls). I know so little of TLC's music before this album,...

Comedy of Errors

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 01:12:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I like British humor, so I rented this film for my husband (who tends to like violent, action flicks). I figured this would work for both of us.

I have to say, "EH." That's about it. "EH." It's not all that great...

This is a SMASH hit!

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 01:16:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - This is MY game. I am the Queen of Pikachu. I can kick anybody's butt that plays this game against me.

We went to the store and bought the power pak so we could play 4 people all against one another. Talk about fun at a party! A couple...

Apocalyptica: Hardcore Classical Music

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 00:47:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - Rock me no more, Amadeus! Roll over out of the way, Beethoven! Hetfield is here to stay! This orchestral renditioning of Metallica's music (and a couple of other bands as well) is excellent.

I have always loved classical music. I usually...

The Best of the Best

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 00:34:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - My mother introduced me to Abba when I was a young girl. I grew up with songs like, "Dancing Queen", "Fernando", and "Knowing Me, Knowing You". So, when I became an adult, I had to buy this album.

At first, I...

Tekken 3 Kicks Butt

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 00:22:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - Tekken 3 kicks so much butt! I would say that I enjoy the game IF I ever got the chance to play it! My husband, my brother and my friends monopolize my copy.

Hours upon hours of, "You cheated!" and "You will feel my...

Life's not always Funny when you're a Bunny.

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 23:48:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JadeMurphy - I first read this novel when I was in the 8th grade. I enjoyed it so much that I read it to my younger brother (who still considers this his favorite novel of all time to this day).

Adams tells the story of a group of rabbits that have to...
