It took me a while to get into it but really liked a couple of tracks. It was with dismay a few weeks later I read they had split up. The band had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~278502870660 Mon, 13 Nov 2006 15:43:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_278502870660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_262599052932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - As one of the key Counter Terrorism operatives in the CIA, Mitch Rapp was putting himself on the line all the time. His actions over the years had saved the life’s of many but now it seems that the hunter is about to become the hunted.

The first film to cast Seagal with DMX was Exit Wounds released around the middle of 2001. While it was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~247988391556 Sun, 13 Aug 2006 08:43:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_247988391556?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196569435780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - Having read the Bourne trilogy by Robert Ludlum, I chose to try something a little bit different from his other books. He is very much a writer of good Thrillers and the Bourne series were a good example of this. This time round I went for The Scarlatti... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196569435780 Sun, 18 Sep 2005 19:45:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196569435780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177254010500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - Having made a name for himself as Guy Ritchie&#146s mate and producer of Lock Stock and Snatch, Matthew Vaughn has finally set out on his own. His directorial debut came in the form of last years Layer Cake. The film itself boasted a whole host of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177254010500 Sun, 20 Mar 2005 16:00:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177254010500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175402946180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - It seems that just recently it’s becoming almost impossible to pick up a film without Jude Law in it. I decided the other week it was time to actually catch up with a few of these films as I’d thought Jude was good in Enemy At The Gate. The first of my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175402946180 Thu, 3 Mar 2005 16:34:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175402946180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_163075755652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - I&#146ve been quite a big fan of the Manic&#146s for years. I first heard of them back in 1996 when I bought Everything Must Go and since then I&#146ve acquired all of their albums. It&#146s now been almost 10 years since Richie, the bands guitarist... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~163075755652 Sun, 23 Jan 2005 16:16:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_163075755652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_160897470084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - Since I saw The Bourne Supremacy a couple of months ago I took a bit of an interest in reading Robert Ludlum&#146s original books. I started off by reading the second book before going back to read Identity second and was surprised by how different to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~160897470084 Sun, 7 Nov 2004 21:01:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_160897470084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158476439172?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - I seem to have redeveloped the reading bug just recently. It had been a while since I sat down and actually concentrated on reading something. After seeing the Bourne Supremacy in the cinema a few weeks ago I decided to buy the book as it was only £3.73... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158476439172 Fri, 15 Oct 2004 16:03:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158476439172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_158026534532?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - After finishing The Bourne Supremacy last week I decided that it was probably best to go back and start at the beginning of the series. So I bought myself a copy of The Bourne Identity and sat down on Tuesday night and started reading. Almost a week... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~158026534532 Mon, 11 Oct 2004 06:27:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_158026534532?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_157865840260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - I have a dirty secret, which isn’t going to remain a secret for much longer. I like Tom Cruise, I know it seems to be the in thing to hate him but I’m afraid I don’t. He has made a few dodgy films over the years but his filmography does include some... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~157865840260 Sat, 9 Oct 2004 05:38:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_157865840260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_155675758212?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - It was with slight trepidation that I headed off to the cinema to see Dodgeball last night. I’ve heard quite mixed reviews of it but decided that I’d at least be able to say I’d seen it. I knew before we got there that I’d be able to tell whether I loved... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~155675758212 Sun, 19 Sep 2004 15:17:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_155675758212?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_154868813444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - Just as Sega decided to pull the plug on the Dreamcast console they came out with a new RPG based game. Rather than leave the game to rot along with the Dreamcast, Sega released the game on the PS2. At the same time they decided rather than produce a new... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~154868813444 Thu, 9 Sep 2004 19:08:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_154868813444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_150825700996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - I’m sure after my succession of books reviews everyone is well aware that I’m a fan of John Grisham novels. When it was announced that the Runaway Jury was due to be released as a film I decided to make the effort and see it. It’s one of the few books by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~150825700996 Sun, 8 Aug 2004 06:49:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_150825700996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_147976785540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - The return of Ash was always going to be sticky ground as far as I was concerned. I’d liked Nu-Clear Sounds and 1977 but Free All Angels didn’t really do anything for me. It lacked any real sense of purpose with far too many mellow tracks. It’s not that... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147976785540 Fri, 16 Jul 2004 14:46:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147976785540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_142785154692?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - There are a number of films in my DVD collection that I would consider to be classics. Those films that I can just put on when ever I want and enjoy no matter what kind of mood I’m in. This is one such film. Top Gun has been a favourite of mine for years... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~142785154692 Sun, 6 Jun 2004 23:25:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_142785154692?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_141322653316?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - I seem to be going through one of those phases where if a DVD is given to me I feel the urge to watch it. It doesn’t matter what the film is or whether I’ve heard people say its good or bad before. I just seem to be in a frame of mind where I will pretty... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~141322653316 Tue, 25 May 2004 10:28:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_141322653316?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_138613722756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - Having had quite a heavy night on Saturday night I woke up on Sunday needing to put something on musically to snap me out of my drunken haze. Often I, like many others I imagine, reach for something fairly mellow as although I don’t get hangovers I still... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~138613722756 Sun, 2 May 2004 17:04:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_138613722756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_138065251972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - I quite like films that are based on true events but don’t stray too far from the truth. So I sat down last night to watch the story of the Irish-Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. For anyone not familiar with the legend Edward “Ned” Kelly was at one time the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~138065251972 Mon, 26 Apr 2004 22:02:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_138065251972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_137326661252?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - When the new version of the Italian Job was released last year it was obvious a wide range of new merchandising opportunities would arise. The inevitable computer games seemed to be spawned from the film.

I mean he&#146s been making distinctly average films for years but this one takes it to another level. Belly of The Beast passed me by totally, I cant imagine it had a cinema release.

So I took the decision to rent out a game I&#146ve been meaning to try for a while. Having rented it out and played it for the weekend I decided to take the plunge and buy... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~136900284036 Thu, 15 Apr 2004 19:30:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_136900284036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_135443025540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author andymack - Going to the cinema to see newly released films isn't something I generally do. The expense and effort never seem worth it. Something has to really capture my interest to make me want to see it. Lost in Translation did exactly that.

The one I was looking forward to the most had to be this one, Hundred Reason.
