Epinions Recent Reviews for KubrickFan

It's a movie for your ears! (According to the liner notes, anyway)

Wed, 25 Sep 2002 01:39:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Before Hot Rats, fans had only come to know Zappa through albums such as Freak Out!, Lumpy Gravy, and We're Only In It For The Money. Although these albums are all excellent (Rolling Stone Magazine even called ...For The...

Something for everyone

Tue, 17 Sep 2002 03:12:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Los Fabulosos Cadillacs are a group of eight excellent Argentinian musicians who hail all the way from Buenos Aires. It has always been their trademark to blend many different styles of music into one album, or even one song; and their 1997 release...

A truly unique sound

Tue, 17 Sep 2002 03:06:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Outside of Tenacious D's debut album, Poses is my #1 pick for albums released in 2001. Poses is actually Rufus Wainwright's second album, a follow up to his self-titled debut in 1998, which I haven't actually gotten to hear yet. This CD...

Why in God's name does this exist?

Sat, 22 Dec 2001 17:53:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Ladies and gentlemen, I am usually a firm believer in the statement "If you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all." And I have done many things that show that I support this. When Great White released Great Zeppelin: A Tribute To Led...

Joe, Sy Borg, Father Riley, Larry, Bald Headed John, and all the gang!

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 22:33:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - For those of you who are Zappa interested/fascinated, (you know who you are *cough* Flip Cassidy *cough*) I'd suggest putting this on the top of your FZ shopping list. Not only will it make you double over and shout "Holy Mother of Invention! Frank Zappa...

Why do I suck so much at coming up with good titles for my Epinions?

Mon, 7 May 2001 01:05:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Alright, it's been a good month and a half since my last epinion, and even longer since my last movie review, so I'm gonna jump right back in with both feet and write my first epinion since March with "Almost Famous."

I'm 15, and I'm just...

Not your conventional alt. rock band

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 03:00:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - In case you hadn't noticed, you will also find this album on my Top 10 Alt. Rock Albums of the 90's epinion. I suggest you check it out. But anyway, on with the review.

Les Claypool. Lead singer. Bassist. Unusual mix, but he definitely pulls...

Looking for Mr. Goodbar, the front desk is looking for Mr. Goodbar...

Sat, 24 Feb 2001 04:18:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Where to begin with this one? Well, first of all, I'd just like to mention that this would be the kind of movie that you'd get a bunch of your friends together for on a Saturday night, and you would all watch it and point and laugh at the utter film...

The True Pioneers of Hard Rock

Mon, 19 Feb 2001 05:25:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - First of all, I'd just like to say that when I first heard this album, I was amazed to find out that it was first released in 1969. Seriously, I thought the heaviest it got back then was Jimi Hendrix, or The Who. Now don't get me wrong, both those...

It's the Anti-Chick Flick! I love it!

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 01:25:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - The title of this epinion perfectly summarizes how I feel about this movie. See, when this was released in theatres, it was buried under mindless garbage such as "Hope Floats," "One True Thing," and many other movies that were chock full of all that...

Citizen Kane is forever kicked from #1!!

Tue, 9 Jan 2001 02:45:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - I must say that I did not expect much upon the first viewing of this film, but by the time the film was over, it had much more than exceeded my expectations, it had smashed them.

Hard Rock Zombies is one of the finest pieces of cinema...

Zappa, Frank: To hell with Elvis! Bring back... Oh, to hell with it.

Sun, 31 Dec 2000 00:03:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Hoo boy, there's so much to the awesomeness of Zappa, how can I possibly fit it all into one Epinion? Well, I'll just have to try anyway. I first discovered Zappa when my friend David (Epinions member: Wraith525) introduced me to him with such songs as...

To hell with Elvis... Brink back Jimi Hendrix!

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 03:11:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Ah yes, the ahead-of-their-time musical stylings of the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Accept no substitute, because Hendrix is the real deal. There has never been any guitar player better, or any guitar player who revolutionized music, like Jimi...

It left me Dazed and Confused but that's a good thing

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 20:42:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - I feel like I'm repeating what's already been said, but this movie is a MUST for Zeppelin fans, and would probably be only meagerly entertaining for anyone else. I've also heard other people mention that this movie was compiled from 3 different...

Sheer f'n poetry

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 23:02:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - For weeks and weeks, my friend kept ranting and ranting about how good Pink Floyd is, especially this album. And just two days ago, I finally bought it. And you know what? He was right. This takes you on a sort of musical odyssey, and I don't think it...

The most unique sound since Frank Zappa!

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 01:40:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - This is more of a review of the band in general, not the album, since I couldn't find anywhere to do a review of the band itself. And I'll be honest right now, the only Gruppo Sportivo songs I've heard are "Beep Beep", "Hey Girl",...

Welcome to the crapatorium, can I take your order?

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 20:29:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - This game is nothing but absolute stupidity. Where are the weapons? Where are the magic abilities? Where's the fun? Where's the replay value? Jeez, this is a bad game.

If you are interested in RPG's at all, you will, AND I MEAN WILL, stay away...

F*ck you, I like these kinds of jokes!

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 21:19:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Even though Burt Reynolds and Richard Dreyfuss aren't exactly comedy-actors, they did a pretty decent job in this one. The Crew is sort of like a mix of Reservoir Dogs and Old Grumpy Men. A good mix? Surprisingly, yes! I had my doubts at first, but by...

Nine Inch Nails: Trent Reznor: The EXACT opposite of candy pop

Sun, 10 Sep 2000 01:56:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Trent Reznor is quite possibly the most talented, innovative one-man music act today. Maybe all time. All of his songs come from deep within him, and each song compells deep emotion combined with totally awesome hard rock guitar riffs, unique synthesized...

Sam Kinison: One great comedic genious

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 01:05:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - In case you're not familiar with Sam Kinison, he's a former preacher turned stand-up comedian who made a show out of yelling at the audience. As unentertaining as it sounds, he's actually friggin' hilarious. It's inexplicable. There's just something in...

I can't believe it's not beer! Part 3: The Last Ride

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 16:19:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - After I had been cured of my non-alcoholic beer addiction, I decided I needed a vacation. Rehab was tough, and I could use the fresh air, rather than the smog of Los Angeles. I decided on Holland. Why? I don't know. Maybe I was high or something, I...

Give me sex or give me death!

Mon, 21 Aug 2000 15:01:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - As the self appointed #1 super fan of Stanley Kubrick (but that doesn't mean my epinions of his films are biased!), I must say that I was somewhat disapponted by this film, his final hurrah. I still immensley enjoyed it, but it just wasn't as good as any...

It made women want to join the marines!

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 15:13:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - Full Metal Jacket is NOT like other war films. It does not portray the horrors of combat. Well, primarily. Rather, it is divided into two parts, both following Private Joker through Marine training, and then into Vietnam to face actual combat.

Spears, Britney: Why does anyone let her get anywhere near a microphone?

Sun, 13 Aug 2000 02:33:28 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - At first, Britney Spears came off as only semi-bad. "Hit Me Baby One More Time" can be the coolest thing in the world if you hit the Mute button. I figured Britney Spears would be yesterday's news within a month. I could easily see that she was...

I guess even cinematic geniouses have to sell out

Sun, 13 Aug 2000 01:19:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KubrickFan - If any of you reading this now have seen my profile page (Props to you if you have) then you know just how big of a Kubrick junkie I am. However, this is one joint that reeked of Hollywood commercialism. Don't get me wrong, it's still a stunning...
