It had travel to far off places, villains, greed, action, treachery, the requisite nasty creepy crawlers, suspense, predictability, unbelievable stunts that no one would survive and nice special effects. I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431940406916 Fri, 30 May 2008 00:01:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431940406916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401326706308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - I first visited the Excalibur about 7 years ago when my mother was staying there. My husband, minor children and I were staying at Circus Circus. We stopped in to see her. I cannot tell you how over the top (aka annoying) the Camelot theme was.

The first nine shows were as good as anything from any of the other seasons. I wanted to see them, just so I could say I saw everything. I have heard many complaints about... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~380822523524 Sat, 23 Jun 2007 17:17:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_380822523524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_380803255940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - A TV series nowadays have contracts for seven seasons or until the show is canceled. It is hoped that the run will be at least 5 years so it can run in syndication, where the money is. Like it or not, that is the way the business run.

I am not sure I agree with that. However, the season opener is wonderful. It is directed by Adrian Paul and set in Duncan's ancestral Scotland. If nothing else, it was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~380784578180 Sat, 23 Jun 2007 16:04:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_380784578180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_380500086404?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - Spoiler Alert: I give away some key moments of the season.

I read some reviews in newspapers before I went to see the film. I have to say I agree with the lukewarm response.

It looked like one of those cute, formula romantic comedies. Thw whole thing started out badly.

Some people love him in spite of this. Many others love him because of it. For all of Tony's faults, I've always found that he is without... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~353412222596 Thu, 26 Apr 2007 00:45:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_353412222596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_351428382340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - This movie is pretty much what I expected from the previews and commercials when it premiered in 2004. It was a year before Dancing with the Stars started on US TV. I even recognized two of the professional dancers from the series.

I have no idea why this is being treated like a video, since it was released in theaters 3 days ago. I understand that Adam Sandler, like Jim Carrey in 23, wanted to spread his acting wings... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~339258084996 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 23:47:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_339258084996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_329329708676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - I recall watching the first show of this series, 7 UP, on PBS many decades ago. The series began in England. Producers chose 14 seven year olds in 1962 to make this documentary. There were 4 girls and 10 boys from different backgrounds.

I have to admit that I did not know this is the third movie made of the Mary Rodgers novel. I got to see this with fresh eyes, without comparisons to Jodie Foster or Gaby Hoffman... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~328303480452 Sun, 4 Mar 2007 18:53:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_328303480452?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_327393906308?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - I thought Scary Movie was really funny. I saw the promos for this in the theater. My family of four decided to see this together. What a mistake! Some of the gags were funny, but it was mostly pretty gross. This is not the worst movie I have ever seen,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~327393906308 Fri, 2 Mar 2007 18:59:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_327393906308?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_326555897476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - I love Ben Stiller and was anxious to see this movie because of the promos. The story could have progressed with any actors, but to include Dick Van Dyke, Mickey Rooney and Bill Cobbs was wonderful. Ricky Gervais was not in the movie for long, but did... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~326555897476 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:43:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_326555897476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_326554062468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - I really enjoy Billy Bob Thorton movies and was driven to see this film because of the trailers. The whole movie is based on living out what seems to be an impossible dream. For this, I give it 5 stars. The problem I had was that the entire scheme... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~326554062468 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:25:34 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_326554062468?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_255873486468?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author craivios - The Good News: We put Pergo floors in several rooms in our house The Bad News: It is an awful thing to wet mop said floors if they are not swept beforehand.

I have been to Lake Tahoe many times. The Queen of casinos is Harrah's. I make a joke about the huge elevators there being as big as my husband's first apartment.

I remember when the first Superman movie came out in 1978, which I liked. Later movies, like the first Batman in 1989 or when Christopher Reeve's Superman actually killed someone, were truly disappointing.
