rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arsinoe - Palm PDAs have been around for long time and enjoyed solid market share. Palm didn't rush to offer a color version even though the other PDAs that wanted to stand out had for long time. The color screen also sucks battery out. However, Palm finally...

Happiness of Love with a Violin-playing Goat

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 19:42:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arsinoe - Notting Hill is a romantic film that is "surreal… but nice." It's always difficult to execute a good romantic comedy film that pulls all the right heartstrings, but this film manages well. Julia Robert is the infamous Anna Scott who commands...

Tales of Two Guns

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author arsinoe - Make that many monsters from previous great action films. Deep Blue Sea owes massive debts to many greats like Jaws-obviously, Alien series, Terminator series, the Abyss, and so forth even before it shows the very first scene. The general framework of...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arsinoe - "The Iron Giant" had unfortunate career in box office even though every critic hailed it as an instant classic. I don't remember watching as much as ads now it's released in DVD while it was in the theaters. No theater near my residence carried...

Sun, 12 Dec 1999 09:37:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author arsinoe - I had high hope for this film due to its star, Will Smith. Will Smith was an accessible and approachable star of the big stars, unlike any other in Hollywood today. That means I would not be apprehensive about approaching him and say, "How are you...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author arsinoe - The most startling vision about this horror movie is that the heads, severed from their bodies, do roll. They roll like a rock, a bowling ball, or a football because you will never know where they will bounce to next. You can almost feel your neck...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arsinoe - The Negotiator is one of the finest character driven films you can find on the screen today.
