The Ring Two: Well, Well, Well, Look Who’s Back

Sun, 20 Mar 2005 00:33:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - I say without hesitation that the very best parts (and there were a couple of them) of this sequel were the special effects. I know it’s an odd thing to state at the very beginning of a review but it pretty much sums up my lack of enthusiasm for this...

See Spot, See Spot Bathe - Hey, Where’d the Spot Go?

Wed, 9 Feb 2005 17:10:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Over the years we have tried various methods for bathing our dogs. Whether it’s the “turn the shower on the dog, turn it off and scrub, rinse, repeat” method, or the “fill the tub slightly, scrub, rinse, drain” method, or still the...

The Killing of Sister George: Lesbianism, Sodomy, and Sexual Predators in 1968

Wed, 2 Feb 2005 16:53:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - I feel pretty confident that I’m not the only person out there who has, at one time or another, gone to great lengths to hunt down a film solely based on its legendary "awesomeness" (call Webster’s, I just made a new word). The Killing of...

Shaun of the Dead: Where Comedy and Horror Collide

Sun, 30 Jan 2005 15:08:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - As a whole Shaun of the Dead has an interesting premise (if only slightly reminiscent of 2002’s 28 Days Later) and that premise is that suddenly there are zombies, the walking dead, inhabiting the streets of London. Presto, just like that...

iRiver's PMP-120: the Good, the Bad, and the Frustrating

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 14:37:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Having thought about buying myself an iPod for quite sometime you can imagine my surprise in receiving iRiver’s Multimedia Player this Christmas. Not only does it play music but it also has video capability and file storage – something I had...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Brigitte (Emily Perkins, Past Perfect) and Ginger (Katherine Isabelle, Bones, Disturbing Behavior) are sisters who live in a sort of suburban hell on Earth. Only a year apart in age they are each other’s best friends as well as being the...

Call me Tallulah, Darling!

Sun, 23 May 2004 22:55:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Yes, it’s true; I have a “thing” for Tallulah Bankhead. A “thing” as in I have been a fan since I was young enough to know what being a fan meant. She is one of the several reasons I used to (and occasionally still do) dream about living through the...

Might I Suggest Some Wine with Your Cheese, Err, Van Helsing?

Mon, 10 May 2004 09:41:01 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - The story is fairly simple. Van Helsing, who was raised by wolves… oh wait, no he was raised by a very secret society of priests that have an even more secret base of operations directly below Vatican City, has grown up with the knowledge that he...

Wise Women: A Celebration of Their Insights, Courage, and Beauty

Wed, 31 Mar 2004 23:27:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Author Joyce Tenneson has managed to put together quite a coffee table book. I say coffee table in the sense that I don’t think many people are going to be willing to run out and spend the $28.00 it costs for the 143 page hardback edition (I think...

Cabin Fever: A Leprous Good Time

Sat, 27 Mar 2004 04:05:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - There are some horror films you recommend because of their sheer brilliance (admittedly these films are few and far between) and, I’m not going to lie to you, this is certainly not one of them. There are also horror films you recommend because they...

The Celluloid Closet (1995)

Wed, 24 Mar 2004 22:36:50 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - I rarely think back to the first lesbian or gay film I saw anymore. For the record it wasn’t until 1985’s Desert Hearts -- or so I had thought. I was one of those kids who grew up thinking I was odd, certain thoughts were wrong, and most...

In the Cut: A Festering Wound Put On Film

Sun, 15 Feb 2004 17:14:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Aside from my first thoughts of, “what the hell,” or “wait, who’s doing what?” and the more popular “this isn’t even a vampire film, why on earth am putting myself through this,” I have nothing even remotely positive to say about this film. Yes, in...

Don't Keep the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Miles Away

Wed, 11 Feb 2004 00:18:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Listening to the five songs on this EP (eight – if you are lucky enough to snag the import release – hooyah) several things quickly stand out. The first, and main, thing to catch your attention is Karen O’s voice. Aside from her vocal range...

Dracula II: Ascension OR More Aptly Dracula Meets More Silly Teens

Sun, 8 Feb 2004 03:41:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - I guess I should begin this by telling you that when I watched the first film, Dr
acula
2000, I couldn’t do much more than rant about disco coffins, matching disco syringes, and tiny little leech grenades. No, I...

Buffy 2: Chaos Bleeds for Xbox: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds

Thu, 29 Jan 2004 00:02:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - The main reason I was psyched about this game is that it said that you get to pick your character so you don’t just have to be Buffy but ideally you could be Willow, Xander, Faith, or even Spike. * cough* They lie. *cough* It’s true that for each...

The Butterfly Effect: Brilliant Colors of Chaos

Sun, 25 Jan 2004 01:49:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have...

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Extraordinary?... Hardly

Tue, 6 Jan 2004 01:26:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Allow me to briefly clarify... League: an association of persons or groups united by common interests or goals. Extraordinary: exceptional to a very marked extent. Gentlemen: a man of noble or gentle birth. The league...

Memento Mori: Korean Lesbians, Ghosts, and Betrayal

Mon, 10 Nov 2003 15:37:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - A.k.a. Yeogo goedam II Touted as a horror film Memento Mori actually plays out more as a romantic thriller. While some may find a few bits here and there “scary” most of the film revolves around two schoolgirls, their romantic relationshi...

Len Wiseman's Underworld

Sun, 21 Sep 2003 16:56:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Over the years I have come to realize several things about vampire films. A couple of which are not to look forward with too much enthusiasm to the newest vampire film released and also that most people will either vehemently hate or love said film. I wi...

May: Angela Bettis Runs With Scalpels

Sun, 7 Sep 2003 19:13:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Psychovant - Recently I have heard May described anywhere from a modern day Frankenstein to a lesbian psycho horror film. Sure, for fans of horror, either of these titles are likely to catch your attention but neither does the film justice in any way. The pr...
