A goood movie!

Sun, 2 Mar 2003 04:03:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I've read Stephen King ever since I was in my 20's. When I was younger I thought the only author was Louis L'amour. I read westerns, but he was the main one. Then one day I wanted to try something new. I thought, what the hey, I'll try this Stephen King...

Ho boy!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I don't really know why I'm reviewing this movie, since most people won't watch it anymore, but here goes.

Charles Bronson plays Murphy, a cop who's wife (who looks half his age) has left him, and nips at the bottle every so often. This is...

The Getaway for PlayStation 2: A rich man's Max Payne

Sat, 1 Mar 2003 01:09:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - A lot of hype has been made about this game, and will be for months to come. I almost made the mistake of buying it myself, but I got a raincheck for a free game, so I finally found out what it was really like.

You play two different...

A cool but bloody game

Sat, 25 Jan 2003 12:45:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Before I talk about the game, let me say that it seems obvious that almost the only people that have reviewed this game are the ones that like the game. Or so it seems to me. I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I'm sure there are people out there that...

A long but interesting Tale

Sun, 1 Dec 2002 00:18:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I haven't written a review here at epinions for quite a while, mostly because not much has gone on that has interested me all that much. I've seen a few movies, some that I may have liked, but nothing that made me want to write about it. However, after...

Rat Race, the fairly funny flick

Sun, 3 Feb 2002 23:01:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I won't go into a lot of detail, but today I was in a bummed out mood. Tension is high at work, my head has been throbbing, and I've been feeling fairly depressed all day. Real low. Now I know you didn't read this to hear about my problems, but it does...

PS2--Not what I expected, but oh well....

Tue, 25 Dec 2001 22:06:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Every so often I hear of a game, or see it advertised, and it is hyped up so much, that even in the jadeness of my attitude, I get to thinking the game might be 'all that', after all. Max Payne was one of those games. I rarely go out and buy a game...

Cool game yet made in a straight line.

Sun, 2 Dec 2001 20:47:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - After I rented Metal Gear Solid 2 for the first time, and talked myself into renting it, I hadn't encountered some of the tough bosses, which in itself shouldn't have hindered me from enjoying the game. Yet right off the bat, I have to warn anyone...

snot bad

Sun, 30 Sep 2001 22:28:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - In this slapstick comedy, a wily Las Vegas casino owner (John Cleese) offers a prize of two million dollars to the first person (or couple) who arrive (with a special key) at a specified location in Silver City, New Mexico.

Ah, what could have been.....

Sun, 30 Sep 2001 21:51:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Oh, where to begin? Should I rant and rave about the many times I angrily threw my gamepad down whenever an enemy would sneak up on me, no matter how madly I tried to swivel around to watch out for them and find them? How I cursed so madly that a sailer...

Aww, aren't the reunited parents so sweet? haha!

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 20:09:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Sorry 'bout the title, that was just the worst part of the movie, IMHO. I'll save ranting about that for later though. As usual, let me jump to the stuff I liked about the movie first.

It did have really cool looking visuals, the terrain and...

What a cool movie! well, till uh....

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 17:52:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - The ending. Oh well, I'll get to that later. First, the good stuff.

I just got through watching Jurassic Park the other day, and while I'm one of those people that like watching big mean dinosaurs that look real, it's not only getting a bit...

A new frontier, at least for me....

Sat, 14 Jul 2001 20:57:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - When I saw the trailer for this one, I felt like saying, "Slow down and let me on!" The dream sequence was the coolest ever, and actually the best part of the whole darn movie!

I'm wondering something all of a sudden. With my last review of...

the story of the robot who wanted to be a boy

Sat, 14 Jul 2001 20:31:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - SPOILER!! SORRY, I DIDN'T LIKE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH I COULDN'T RESIST! Hehe!

Okay, so robot is not the best way to describe him. Cyborg? Not sure. Watching this movie brought back to my mind the movie Blade Runner, because of the curious...

Baby baby!

Wed, 4 Jul 2001 21:59:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I awaited this movie with longing, as I have lots of movies, as I still do with Planet of the Apes. I hoped that with the addition of Angelina Jolie's beautimous looks and lots of action would be a great story. Yet let me say that I've become quite a...

Not as good as I'd hoped

Sat, 16 Jun 2001 21:01:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - This is my second attempt at writing a review of this movie. My last one didn't rate very good, so I wiped it out and I hope this one does better. If not, please leave comments with suggestions...hehe.

When I first saw the trailers for this...

Glory: quite a movie

Sun, 10 Jun 2001 13:35:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I was bored yesterday (Saturday), trying to find something on the television to watch. I'm fairly picky, at least it seems like to me, since I have a hard time finding something I'll keep watching. I noticed that a movie called 'Glory' was on a channel,...

Almost too much for me to handle!

Sun, 27 May 2001 22:44:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Well, I finally got to see it. After reading many reviews of the movie Pearl Harbor, the positive and negative aspects of it, I went in knowing pretty much what was going to happen, and this probably helped me get thru the film without losing patience...

Back to the basics....

Sat, 26 May 2001 17:08:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Two things impressed me with the Author's note at the end of the book. One is the mention of King's using a fountain pen in the writing of this huge story. The other is the last line of it, thanking the reader for reading his story. To me, this is the...

A surprisingly good movie!

Sat, 19 May 2001 17:35:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Before I begin, if you really want to read an excellent review of this movie, check out the one (the only other one on this movie at the moment, as I'm writing this, 5-19-01) by JackSommersby. His review is very thorough and complete. I'll do the best I...

I finished it! Hahahaha (maniacal laughter)

Sat, 19 May 2001 09:53:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I'll tell you what. There's a fine line between challenging and frustrating, and I'm afraid that in most cases this game veered over the frustrating line. Every, and I mean EVERY mission in this game had a time limit, seems like. Well, was there one or...

Not a real review, just my own thoughts and worries....

Sat, 12 May 2001 21:18:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I just read a review by a fellow epinionator that made a statement that amounted to the fact that the X-box will just be a pc dressed up like a console. Well, my instant thought is, I hope not. The main reason being, that I want more More MORE and...

Thumbs up and thumbs down, I'm confused...

Sat, 12 May 2001 20:03:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I've put off reviewing this movie, mostly because I know that I can't make anyone happy with the way that I'm going to write it, and I don't even know if I can help anyone decide whether to watch it or not, and that is one of the main reasons that I feel...

Slow but steady

Mon, 7 May 2001 23:47:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - I realize that this movie made a lot of people mad. It was not your conventional superhero movie. This movie was more about one mans supposed discovery and another man trying to get him to realize his supposed potential. The reason that I keep saying...

I'd rather my heart were ripped out!

Mon, 7 May 2001 23:22:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MerlinSteele - Okay, I really don't mean that, but it almost feels like it when I remember this movie. I watched it just last weekend, and believe it or not, I made sure I got to see it Saturday night, instead of going out, having fun and making a general fool out of...
