It had Will Smith, whom I really liked in both his showmanship modes (Bad Boys, Hitch, ID4) and many of his serious roles that he played (Ali, 6 degrees of separation) and told the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~294103060100 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 11:19:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_294103060100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_284109540996?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - I really wanted to pick up Half-Life 2, but being one of the only people in the galaxy who didn't have an internet connection, I couldn't play it. So I decided on F.E.A.R. to satisfy my need to blast things. The basic premise of FEAR is that it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~284109540996 Sun, 26 Nov 2006 23:59:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_284109540996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_281389928068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - Everyone seemed to love Piers Brosnan as the last "new" bond. I personally didn't. His "Bond" I felt was the mixing of Sean Connery's dashing looks and Roger Moore's cheekiness, which in my opinion clashed. Brosnan gave more one-liners after... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~281389928068 Mon, 20 Nov 2006 12:13:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_281389928068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_261127310980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - The Toyota Camry. I think one reviewer called it an appliance on wheels. The 411 on the Camry is that it is not a driver's car. It gets you from A to B and does it in comfort and with reliability. I am not a performance driver. I've owned a Saab... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~261127310980 Mon, 2 Oct 2006 19:19:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_261127310980?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_252045921924?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - I admit, I'd rather slum it with really bad movies than watch another remake of Jane Eyre. But even I have standards.....

She is their perfect woman. Not Pam Anderson, not Jessica Simpson. They are the perfect one night stand; Claire is the perfect life companion. Not because she is beautiful, sexy and available,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~251032800900 Mon, 28 Aug 2006 17:55:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_251032800900?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_237284265604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - I can see why people would say such a thing. The original is stuck in a time warp, a Nick at Night special, outdated and out of style, but I wouldn't write the original off so quickly. For those who don't have a clue about both, far away from Earth,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~237284265604 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 10:06:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_237284265604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_218380471940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - The original Doom and Doom 2 were games that I played with gusto in my University days. Having only played primitive games like Castle Wolfenstein, Doom 2 set the standard with its graphics and game play. I looked forward to play the new version of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~218380471940 Fri, 20 Jan 2006 18:28:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_218380471940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_216529211012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - The Toshiba Gigabeat is my fourth MP3 player and it is interesting how my progression has gone. It started with a cheesy 64 MB no-name brand that could hold one album's worth of song to a 256 MB LG MP3 player which I still use for workouts.

It was very cool to watch movies from Horror auteurs like Herschell Gordon Lewis or Dario... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~212401622660 Mon, 28 Nov 2005 17:12:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_212401622660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_211398921860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - When I finally became cool and took possession of an iPOD, I decided to spend alittle $$$ on some headphones. I had seen the Bose NC (noise cancellation) headphones and thought, "Woah, these are cool, but I can't afford a three digit sum to fulfill my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~211398921860 Wed, 16 Nov 2005 19:36:31 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_211398921860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_211145625220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - Most people I noticed were slightly disappointed in this movie, in comparison to the first SAW. I was pleasantly surprised, not because this movie was better (it's not), but because with the lack of good horror that is out in the marketplace in the past... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~211145625220 Mon, 14 Nov 2005 12:05:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_211145625220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_205883739780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - Believe it or not, I had the exact same idea for this movie. It came when I was in the first year of university and got this first generation script making software for my PC (a 486 at the time!). I wrote a movie called "Redemption" about a guy who was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~205883739780 Tue, 11 Oct 2005 09:44:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_205883739780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_196857466500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - First I have to give props up to the Bauer family. It is an all-Canadian family (Kiefer is from Toronto, Elisha Cuthbert from Calgary and Leslie Hope from Nova Scotia) and anything Canadian (from this Canadian) is nice to see. Alright, back to the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~196857466500 Thu, 22 Sep 2005 15:37:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_196857466500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_193157238404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - I half expected one of the female leads to mutter that line throughout the movie. Why? Because the director Wong Kai-Wai and long time cinematographer Christoper Doyle are so good at capture the beauty of his female leads and much of the dialogue... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~193157238404 Mon, 15 Aug 2005 10:45:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_193157238404?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_192065277572?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - I rarely buy a TV series on DVD, but after watching an episode from Season 3 on the Sci-fi network, I felt that I had to have the whole series, so I bought all five seasons. The first season has it the hardest. Since the movie is the brainchild of J... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~192065277572 Thu, 4 Aug 2005 11:29:59 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_192065277572?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_189489712772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - The true tragedy in this DVD doesn't really come from the characters. Actually, it doesn't come from the movie itself, but the documentary that goes with the DVD. In it, there is an interview with the chief of police who clearly states that the role of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~189489712772 Tue, 12 Jul 2005 10:15:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_189489712772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_188979777156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - What can I say, I was captivated by the opening scene. I love star battles that involve huge ships. While the grandiose scene was a little too Starship Troopers for me, it had a grip on my attention. George Lucas is a marketing genius. He doesn't... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~188979777156 Thu, 7 Jul 2005 17:33:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_188979777156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_182987951748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - Being a great fan of martial arts movie, I recently watched two martial arts movies from countries other than China and Japan, which where most of the films of that genre come from. The first was "Arahan", a spectacular Matrix-style movie that pays... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~182987951748 Thu, 12 May 2005 10:10:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_182987951748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_181269139076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - One may think that this is the standard and typical gang potboiler, but in fact it is somewhat more intelligent than that. The major story line involves a summit involving the top 200 or so gangs. Led by the Grammercy Riffs, the big goal is to unite... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~181269139076 Tue, 26 Apr 2005 14:39:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_181269139076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175287537284?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - The box on the DVD says that this is Miyazaki's masterpiece. While this movie was a huge influence on my life with movies, I don't really think that this movie would be the crowning jewel on his celebrated career. I have seen the movie "Warriors of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175287537284 Wed, 2 Mar 2005 16:33:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175287537284?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_175118651012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - I think that most people look for one of three things when they go and see a movie. They want a good story and script to keep them entertained, they want a director to provide visual eye candy to enhance the script and provide a good pace and they want... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~175118651012 Tue, 1 Mar 2005 11:20:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_175118651012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_173499780740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - When I was given this book by a guy friend, I thought, why am I getting a book from a Jackie Collins type writer? I had heard of some of Sydney Sheldon novels and most of them seem like JC or Danielle Steel like potboilers that appealed to housewives... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~173499780740 Tue, 15 Feb 2005 14:45:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_173499780740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_149633404548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - This movie is a fantasy and runs off the gimmick that it was shot on one 96 minute take. The movie is a homage to the St. Petersburg Hermitage State Museum, a place that has centuries of history to it. If it isn't, it should be one of the 10... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~149633404548 Thu, 29 Jul 2004 19:24:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_149633404548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_147683774084?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author casualsuede - The movie takes it's trick from Memento, a good movie that used it's reverse timeline as more visual trickery than as an integrated plotline. Here, Gaspar Noe does a better job and the movie Irrevisible would not work nearly as well if it moved... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~147683774084 Wed, 14 Jul 2004 11:37:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_147683774084?linkin_id=8003929
