Rolling in the Aisles

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 11:12:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - Last night I caught a sneak preview of Jay and Silent Bob strike back. Or, I should say I caught about half of it, because I couldn't hear half the lines for the thunderous laughter in the theater.

In JASBSB, Kevin Smith drops the more...

A Day In Hell

Mon, 30 Jul 2001 18:19:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - It has almost always been bad news when my bank gets bought out. It was no exception when Union Planters bought out Jefferson Heritage.

One of the first things I did when UP took over was to call and see if I needed to change the routing or...

What To Do When A Dream Comes True

Wed, 1 Dec 1999 20:32:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - All my life I dreamed of visiting Stonehenge. I can't quite say what about it attracted me. I just knew that I had to see it. In Spring of '97 that dream came true.

My reaction, was to say the least, mixed. At first, I was disappointed...

Hilarious

Sun, 14 Nov 1999 05:15:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - First off, you should know that this is not the film that certain religious groups have been protesting. This is not a sacrilegious attack on religion. Rather, it is a celebration of faith, albeit mixed in with various drug references, toilet humor and...

Great Writing, Terrific Acting, Choppy Directing

Thu, 7 Oct 1999 16:57:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - Kevin Smith's movies give whole new meaning to the term "talkies". He writes terrific, believable characters and gives them gobs of dialog. That could be problem if the dialog itself was not so real and unforced. It has the familiar ring of...

Great Performances in this Noir Classic

Tue, 5 Oct 1999 17:31:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - About a week or so ago, I flipped on the TV, most likely to watch the news or something. My wife must have been channel surfing, because it was on Turner Classic Movies, a channel that doesn't get watched in our house as much as it probably should. I...

Ummm...It's Supposed to be a COMEDY...

Mon, 4 Oct 1999 18:54:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - The title of this review is a little harsh. On the whole, Kenneth Branagh and company manage to make an occasionally fun and funny Ado. The highlight is definitely Michael Keaton as Dogberry. He is a rude, crude, filthy, revolting idiot who has most...

Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park

Mon, 4 Oct 1999 17:38:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - When I lived in London a few years ago, one of the first things I did was visit Speaker's Corner. For those not in the know, every Sunday an assortment of preachers, politicals and other assorted whackos gather at the Northeast corner of Hyde Park for...

One Of The Best Movies I Have Seen

Thu, 30 Sep 1999 16:23:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Max_Dobberstein - Those who know me know that I am quite stingy with superlatives. I very rarely would apply the term "great" to even some of the best movies I have seen. But there is no other word that I could use that would do this movie justice. In my...
