It ran three years, and was set to run for a fourth season when it was abruptly terminated -for reasons only... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~221454175876 Tue, 21 Feb 2006 14:15:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_221454175876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_220579466884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Despite the accolades this film has received, and the fact that I put myself on the side of the animal lover tree huggers, there is something really off about this film. In fact, I found it profoundly disturbing and misleading&#150which I suppose is the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~220579466884 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 19:34:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_220579466884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_215752937092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - I have waited nearly six months to watch this movie the second time and write this review. It had such a powerful effect on me six months ago, that I thought it to be a fluke of my memory, or a needed outlet to my fragile emotional state. Not so. The... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~215752937092 Thu, 29 Dec 2005 15:07:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_215752937092?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_208763326084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - I watched this once a few months ago and was singularly unimpressed. I decided to wait awhile and see if it might be better the second time. To my surprise, it was more tolerable-probably because I knew when the few good things were coming. Otherwise,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~208763326084 Tue, 18 Oct 2005 15:32:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_208763326084?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_200583057028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - This is one film that will teach you to love documentaries. It will break your heart in the first moments and give you a new one by the end of the flick. It is sort of a Christian Barnard sort of film. The premise of it, I thought, was unappealing... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~200583057028 Sun, 9 Oct 2005 14:44:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_200583057028?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196589751940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - If you look at this film as a classic, and realize that it was made long before CGI changed film graphics forever, you will appreciate the artistry of this Ralph Bakshi and Frank Frazetta collaboration. If you judge by today&#146s sophisticated graphics... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196589751940 Mon, 19 Sep 2005 01:06:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196589751940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196558884484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Of the many films I have seen lately , this documentary of Frank Frazetta, is one of the most interesting. If you are a working artist, I would say this film should stay on your shelf, and be watched often. Even if it does nothing else, it will inspire... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196558884484 Sun, 18 Sep 2005 17:16:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196558884484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_192254807684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - If you are not already a Margaret Cho fan, this video will probably leave you befuddled. If on the other hand, you are already a Cho fan, as I was, this video will leave you at least mildly disappointed. Lacking the freshness and in-your-face humor of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~192254807684 Sat, 6 Aug 2005 03:16:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_192254807684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_190692953732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - I do know better, but I can&#146t seem to stop watching these movies -you know, the ones with a plug in formula, a standard message and only the faces change? I suppose really, it is because team triumphs are so much more gratifying than the endings of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~190692953732 Fri, 22 Jul 2005 14:08:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_190692953732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_189129264772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Adrian Brody made an impression on me with his performance in THE PIANIST . Despite his rail thin physique and his large-ish nose, he has amazing eyes , and the boy can act a little. His looks put him in odd roles , not blockbuster movies, and a chance... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~189129264772 Fri, 8 Jul 2005 23:32:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_189129264772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_188557856388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - For those people who have always wanted me to write shorter reviews, this one is for you. This will be shorter than my usual marathon reading exercise mainly because there is relatively little analysis needed for this movie, and not much to think about... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~188557856388 Mon, 4 Jul 2005 05:40:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_188557856388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181647412868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - The setting is London, in the flush years before the Second World War, and the scene is the London Stage. This presents possibilities of viewing life through the artifice of placing it on stage, which reflects another dimension as it is then placed on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181647412868 Fri, 29 Apr 2005 21:25:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181647412868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180809010820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - I have been some time in pondering this review, because as much as I enjoyed watching it (which is to say I did not watch it with a sneer of disgust) it just seems a bit staid, a little held back. While the movie has humor, and a certain amount of wit,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180809010820 Fri, 22 Apr 2005 04:01:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180809010820?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_180467895940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Now that I have told the ending and spoiled the movie for you in the very title, maybe we could just go on and discuss the movie, what do you think? I think I had seen part of this flick before, but I rented it for only one reason: to test my newest... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~180467895940 Tue, 19 Apr 2005 00:49:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_180467895940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_179291459204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Independent film makers provide some of the best movies we can see, even if they are, like this one, slightly off the beaten track. First time film-maker Jordan Roberts has made a remarkable movie,. It is sentimental and nearly maudlin , yet... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~179291459204 Thu, 7 Apr 2005 18:10:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_179291459204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178992942724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Television series are doomed to extinction the very day they come to life. They are chosen and run by networks (n this case Fox) for as long as they are popular, with no guarantees of longevity. ANGEL, another brilliant Joss Whedon production enjoyed a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178992942724 Tue, 5 Apr 2005 05:43:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178992942724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178599988868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - I had mixed feelings about reviewing this movie, for two reasons. First, like all of you, I appreciate the people that fight fires and save lives. That part of this film was gratifying, and enough of a reason to recommend watching it. But then my dark... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178599988868 Fri, 1 Apr 2005 14:44:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178599988868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178384113284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Anyone who knows me knows that I take a glass half full attitude about movies.. If there is any thing good to report about it, I will find it. After all, how else can I justify the hours it takes me to watch it, see all the extras on the DVD, look up all... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178384113284 Wed, 30 Mar 2005 16:25:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178384113284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_178101194372?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Reading like City Slickers Goes to Oregon, (only without the clever dialog) this flick still manages to retain some entertainment value. But it is hardly the laugh fest I had been led to expect. Warning!!! This review is about to give up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~178101194372 Mon, 28 Mar 2005 13:26:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_178101194372?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177866378884?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Whether we like it or not, this TV series has made history. 50 years from now, they&#146ll still be talking about it.-mostly shaking their heads and wondering what the heck was THAT all about? Some of you are asking that question now. (My niece, for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177866378884 Fri, 25 Mar 2005 22:03:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177866378884?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177203809924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - VANITY FAIR, Indian film-maker Mira Nair&#146s interpretation of Thackeray&#146s novel, was surprisingly entertaining. It earned an amazing O on the granniemose sleep-o-meter, and even I watched with fairly close attention, although I was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~177203809924 Sun, 20 Mar 2005 01:05:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_177203809924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_177015131780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - Clark Kent in High School?

I appreciate the bright colors , the imaginative artwork, the simple story and the fact that I won&#146t have to work hard to get it. I like to think the artists that create animated films can expand your... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~176479047300 Sun, 13 Mar 2005 10:24:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_176479047300?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175916879492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - This large format flatbed scanner is any thing but cheap to the average consumer. In fact if you are looking for a routine utilitarian scanner for snapshots, and you don&#146t care much about resolution , or color balance then this scanner is probably... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175916879492 Tue, 8 Mar 2005 05:51:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175916879492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175743536772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author artbyjude - I started this review a couple of days ago, with a whole different take on the movie, based on the fact that I had seen the Japanese version (or what I thought was the first Japanese version) first. Compared to that startling film, it will be hard to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175743536772 Sun, 6 Mar 2005 19:19:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175743536772?linkin_id=8003929
