An Awesome Damon Movie

Fri, 23 Feb 2001 20:37:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - I wonder if everyone who has seen all of Matt Damon's movies, comes to the same conclusion as me: They all seem the same. I don't know if that is a skill, a curse, or if I'm just crazy. Rounders is no different. You get that same vibe you get when you...

What Do You Want On Your Tombstone?

Fri, 16 Feb 2001 22:26:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Tombstone belongs on a long list of the "modern westerns." This movie also bears the distinction of competing with another movie about Earp and the boys, Wyatt Earp, starring Kevin Costner. Both tell the same story, but in different ways.

Wild Plot Twister

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 23:37:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - I'm not sure if I've ever seen a more plot-twisting movie. It was almost excessive, but I still enjoyed it. Wild Things, at least to me, has seemed to acquire the reputation for just having a great sex scene(Richards, Campbell, Dillon threesome). It's...

One of the few shows worth watching

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 02:01:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Very few shows transcend the TV medium and achieve it's own unique niche in television history. Malcolm in the Middle is one of those great shows. Very few shows appeal to me and make me watch it on a weekly basis. Malcolm in the Middle joins a...

A Romance Disguised as a Comedy

Fri, 24 Nov 2000 01:36:27 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Holy Man was perceived, by it's trailers, as another hilarious Eddie Murphy comedy. In reality, much of the comedy is in the trailer. Actually, Holy Man is less of a story about Murphy's character, G, and more of the life and moral evolvement of...

American Braveheart

Mon, 6 Nov 2000 00:56:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - In all my years of American History classes I never realized that Benjamin Martin is the reason the United States existed. Who knew? All this time I never knew of such a man, a man to which we owe our freedom. The man who is responsible for us being a...

Heart of Dragon?

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 15:49:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - A few things are expected when you sit down to watch a Jackie Chan movie. You expect a so-so story, usually english dubbing, and of course killer stunts and action sequences. You get all these things in Heart of Dragon, just not in a way you'd expect...

Li & Son

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 01:00:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Jet Li shines in yet another action-packed movie starring the new king of martial arts. But Li isn't the only one who kicks it in this one. The highlights of The Enforcer is the young kid who plays Li's son. Watching a 10 year old pulling off Li-like...

A Rare Breed

Wed, 25 Oct 2000 22:05:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Of all the "Sci-Fi" thrillers released in the past 5 years, few of them offer no more than great effects, idiotic story, and horrible acting. They shouldn't be categorized as Sci-Fi's, but rather they should be grouped together because of...

Sleek, Stylish, and Tough

Mon, 16 Oct 2000 00:32:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - I've had the Nokia 282 for a little over a month, and I must say I'm really impressed. It cost me extra when I began my 2 year service agreement, $90 to be exact, but man it was worth it. If your going to be stuck with a phone for two years, even just...

A New Old Movie

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 23:22:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - To see a movie made like The Newton Boys told in a Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid kind of way in 1998 was puzzling, yet somewhat refreshing. The incredible tale of the biggest bank/train robbers in history did make it's way to the silver screen in...

Head of It's Class

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 14:59:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Yes The Skulls fits in with all the recent "teen" thrillers, but it really rises to the top of this category. A twisting plot and constant suspense make this movie a nice rental.

To overly scrutinize this movie would be absurd...

A Touching Classic

Mon, 11 Sep 2000 18:48:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - The Cider House Rules may be one of the most touching movies I have ever seen. The pure emotion and deep truth of this movie makes this movie an instant classic in my book. This may be my generation's To Kill A Mockingbird.

What makes this...

Entertaining Plot Twister

Sun, 27 Aug 2000 01:09:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Reindeer Games does not run short of plot jerks, probably a more applicable term than plot twists. You are constantly confronted with deceiving characters, though to the regular movie goer, they are predictable changes. Despite this Reindeer Games is a...

Hella Chan Action

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 14:49:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Chan's first "American" movie stops no shorter than awesome, intense action. Rumble in the Bronx is one of Chan's best, and in my opinion already a martial arts classic. Chan's stunts are at the same level as the best of his other movies, but...

70's Return Trip

Tue, 15 Aug 2000 21:49:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - The brothers Farrely strike gold again in another unforgetable comedy, Outside Providence. Not on the caliber of laughs as There's Something About Mary or Me, Myself, and Irene, but this movie touches deeper issues than ones that make you laugh.

The Best Movie of 99?

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 14:26:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - American Beauty is a good film, and it deserves to be up there with the best of 1999. It's story is dark, yet somewhat humorous. Does American Beauty deserve the high acclaim it has received and the awards it has won?

Well due to the...

A Date Movie?

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 21:55:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - The fact that Coyote Ugly is a date movie may come as a shock. The trailer included scantily-clad, beautiful women so therefore this is a guy flick right? A PG-13 Showgirls?

Absolutely not. The girls of Coyote Ugly make up 20 minutes of...

Voyage Into Your Mind

Sun, 6 Aug 2000 01:14:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - When this movie came out, I was curious to see what this movie had to offer because Leonardo Dicaprio had held out so long on movies. I wanted to see what made The Beach special, greater than his many other offers. As soon as I had a chance to rent it...

Discerning the Intentions

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 00:50:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Cruel Intentions is a sexually charged look into the lives of two manipulators. A good movie with a strange vibe, Cruel Intentions is a good pick-up for a rental.

The first hour is great. I was thoroughly entertained by the two masters of...

A Work of Art

Thu, 3 Aug 2000 17:12:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Snow Falling on Cedars is a work of art. Though it may not be my "typical" kind of movie, this film deserves a chance at your buck. Great acting, a great story, and great cinematography makes for a great movie.

Snow Falling on...

A Jackie Chan Classic

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 21:24:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - The trio of Hung, Biao, and of course Jackie Chan is back in another fantastic movie. In Project A, the trio takes Kung Fu action to a whole new level. No movie at this point had ever put this level of stunts and action into a great movie. Simply said...

It's About Time

Sat, 15 Jul 2000 00:26:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Anyone who grew up with the X-men like me has been awaiting this moment for years. This anticipation has been coupled with fear. Fear that another filming debacle would result similar to the Superman movies or some BOOM!BOP!BANG! early comic book feel...

A Winning Combo?

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 00:36:05 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Why did I see this movie? Why wouldn't I see this movie? Jim Carrey in another Farrely brothers film; it would be a crime not to go. I of course had to choose a friend to go with that would enjoy this type of movie, and I did. We went and saw it and...

A Titanic Storm

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 00:44:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author coolboarder - Anybody want to see a bunch of fisherman die? Well that isn't all that is in this movie, because some other people drown as well. Going into this movie you know everyone onboard the Andrea Gail is going to die. I mean it is based on a true story in...
