Kate Winslet was refreshing in The Reader.  Her performance in The Reader made the novel film exceptional.  Kate is a solid actress.  Leonardo DiCaprio is slowly growing on me.  The most recent film I have seen with... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476005174916 Thu, 2 Jul 2009 14:05:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476005174916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_475900972676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 - With the hot months of Summer comes the cooled off refreshment of home-made ice cream.  I have been experimenting with new flavors, many of them based on specialty flavors I have seen at the store or on television.  One of my favorite ice cream... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475900972676 Wed, 1 Jul 2009 16:48:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475900972676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_475875806852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 -

Atlas Shrugged is the classic novel by Ayn Rand that many consider the conservative Bible.  I would suggest that this might hold true for fiscal conservatism.  I could see where religious conservatives might have issues with the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475782024836 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:15:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475782024836?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_475639615108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 -

I liked Transformers the first time around.  I was eagerly awaiting the sequel, which I was certain to like.  With Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg collaborating, this had to be a hit.  I can't say I hated this film, but I can say... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475541638788 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:50:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475541638788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474998148740?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 - Unfortunately for Live Free or Die, the attempts at quirky humor were more tedious than fun.  The concept was actually interesting and tightly woven, but the actual pacing of the film killed the redeeming qualities.  I was mesmerised... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474998148740 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:47:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474998148740?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474742689412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 -

I want my 93 minutes back.  I am ashamed to admit that I paid to see Land of the Lost at the theater.  Waxing nostalgic, I figured that this film might take me back to the campy days of my youth, when this television series was so bad it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~473032134276 Sat, 6 Jun 2009 15:41:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_473032134276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_472467345028?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 -

American Crime tells a troubling tale of abuse ripped directly from the headlines.  The disturbing thing about this film is that it is not an isolated incident.  It seems like stories of this nature have become too commonplace. ... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472118562436 Fri, 29 May 2009 16:54:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472118562436?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471719120516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 - I believe my opinion regarding Terminator Salvation will find me in the minority.  My overall impression with this film was that it was forgettable.  It was average, tepid, mediocre, palatable, etc.  A host of adjectives could be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471719120516 Tue, 26 May 2009 10:37:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471719120516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471318236804?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 - The Hunting Party is an odd tale based on a true story that begins in a bar.  A joke that lacks a punch line.  The film is based on prominent war criminals like Radovan Karadzic, who managed to elude authorities for over a decade. ... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471318236804 Fri, 22 May 2009 15:18:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471318236804?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470866300548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 - My fragrance preference is heavily slanted towards colognes that have crisp, clean lines with sweeter notes.  Many of these fragrances have mild influences of wood or citrus.  However, I do not enjoy the woodiness of fragrances (like Aspen),... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470866300548 Mon, 18 May 2009 16:29:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470866300548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470015839876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coldsteel7 -
