Its time to think about "42" again.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author WideAngle - After seeing all of Stanley Kubrick’s films (excluding Flying Padre and Day of the Fight) and reviewing his old photographs from Look Magazine, I concluded that he was a far better photographer than filmmaker, and not so much a man of profound ideas as...

How to be a Commodity

Sat, 12 May 2001 23:45:40 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author WideAngle - In the post-Mapplethorpe, post-Sensations, post-Foucault, post-David Carson world, the fact that anyone would look at Natacha Merritt's documented sex odyssey and call it "masterfull" indicates that we as a society have a very sparse--and short--memory...

Look at the Street Signs

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 04:47:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author WideAngle - I'll start off by saying that this film is not for everyone; some will love it, others will hate it. I see the arguments of all the positive reviews for this film though.

Contemporary cinema, at least American pictures manufactured sometime...

Better Living Through Crawl Spaces

Mon, 8 Nov 1999 23:45:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author WideAngle - Welcome to the whacky world of “Being John Malkovich”, where the rules don’t apply and heavy-handed metaphors abound. Relish in the fact that Hollywood still has the balls to distribute a non-traditional, pseudo-experimental film on a wide scale, but...
